“Hitch Your Wagon to the stars”
We must set clear goals
and have a vision if we are to achieve great things, says an old adage. After
all, how can we reach our destination if we are ignorant of where we want to
go? If we do not aspire for something
big and great in life, if we do not strive to seek it, the result would be a life of
ignominy.
‘Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sand of time;
Lives of all great men like Napolean Bonaparte, Mahatma Gandhi,
Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, etc.
reveal, that each of them in their very early life had a dream, a vision of shaping their future But
this does mean merely a day dreaming or building castles in the air, for in the
words of William Shakespeare "Ambition should be made of sterner stuff". We need to relentlessly strive to achieve and
realize our dreams.
Today’s youth seems to
be quite indifferent to all these ideas. They are busy day dreaming, building
castles in the air and wasting their precious time in merriment. They do not
want to sacrifice their present so that they can have a better and secure
future.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow,
Finds us farther than to-day
They fail to realize
that they are the group of millions who could transform the world with their
beautiful open-minded hearts and their incredibly brilliant minds is capable of
innovations. Self-realization is the first step of a thousand mile journey of
success. Youngsters, are quite afraid to experience setbacks instead they need
to inculcate self-belief to counter new challenges. They should not be afraid
of the backlash instead stand tall to do what they know in their hearts is
right and just for humanity.
When they are
purposeful, they can see a bigger picture and envision what’s important and
meaningful, so that they can promote it for the maximum benefit of the world to make
it a better place.
