Looking Back. .Looking forward..!!

There is hardly any person who doesn't dream. We say that one dreams while sleeping. Have we ever realised that it is the other way round ? Instead, I should say that dreams are the ones who don't let us sleep. Isn't it? Unfortunately, very few of us trust on our endeavours to attain our dreams. I agree that we will be what we will to be. But we never keep in mind that excellence has always been achieved by those who dares to believe that something inside in superior to circumstances.

The reason why I am writing this post. My roomie Sandy seems to be very pessimistic these days. All the time, he keeps comparing himself with others and keeps getting upset. He has a habit of saying "Harry, will we ever be able to become a successful person"? "wE are an useless being in this world"

And I keep on explaining him that the more you crib, more often you come across with that thing. How can positive things happen with us until we think positive? How can we lead to success until we try to attempt the things with a positive attitude? Why can't we stop regretting on the things which have already been happened? Can't we inculcate the learning in our attitude going forward?

And I keep on emphasising on my favourite quote in front of him "When you really want something, the whole universe conspires to help you achieve it". The quote is from Alchemist.
And his negativity keeps on distracting him from doing the things. And he keeps worrying about his future. Even he feels unfit for his job and keeps thinking to quit that.

The point is that instead of worrying himself over the future, shouldn't he live each day as it comes? This is for all of us. If we will think positive, we will be surprised by the change this attitude will bring in our life. That constant frown disappears and a happy face emerges. You look at your batch mates for the first time as "mates" . You find time to enjoy !! You also find failure is also a single day affair which has to be remembered for that day only . This DOES NOT mean that you should neglecting success. It is the attitude with which you take it matters. They are not the Be-Alls and End-Alls . So relax and give the start with a fresh and relaxed mind. And very important, Have self-belief. Not everyone can do everything with the same competency . So identify what you do well, and try to excel in that. At the same time , try to get a smattering knowledge of things you are not good at, so that you can fit into the conventional definition of a leader !!
