Learning is an illusion, time to time it gives us an impression that we know everything, it make us believe that we are invincible, hence putting a stop to nurturing our talents, gradually the illusion becomes a part of our belief, we become mediocre and start believing that a regular struggle for survival is the greatest work ever done.

The glass is half full, the glass is half empty or nothing is in the glass, these are the metaphorical situations created by our mind to give ourselves hope, which is to expect something better in the future or to hold on to what we have in hand. Success is always about playing these situations to perfection. The level of our play will be proportionate to the level of hope, which again is a laborious form of a wish. A wish is belief in miracles but a hope is working to get due returns against the invested efforts.

No one starts superior, we all start at similar level & blindly start running to the destination, early in the race the superior performers realize that the destination is a myth; life is a long journey with short stopovers; the journey itself is our teacher and it gives everyone a chance to become better between the stopovers, but most of us fail to learn the lessons.

We grow—up on fairy tales & stories, where the hero always wins & everything becomes Okay at the end, similarly our goals / dreams in life forms a story & we become the hero’s, which we control up to some extent and when we don’t get the desired results we quit, not realizing that we are quitting the story too soon, things would have definitely been Okay had we waited till the end.

The sales vehicle runs not on any fuel, but mostly on goodwill, the goodwill is not good because it achieves something on its own, it is good because it helps the carrier with a reputation of being the best in whatever they do.

Being mad at failure and being analytical about the reason for failure are 2 different things, first reason slow us down the second will give us an extra boost to try better next time, being mad at things, people or situation is easy, the difficult part is giving your madness a method to succeed.
