Since our childhood we have got
preaching about the attitude of giving. It’s the best feeling in the world to
help others; this is what I have heard throughout my childhood and the best way
to live is to give. But as I grew up, I started thinking that the preaching-
the best way to live is to give is no longer valid. I thought though it is good
to have the attitude of giving but that is all about feelings nothing more than
that and it is not going to help me directly. The same question may arise in
all of your minds. And all of you might be thinking; the preaching which has
been taught since our childhood cannot be wrong and it must have some direct
implications other than that feeling part also.
The question is totally realistic
and the preaching could not be wrong. It sometimes depends on how we interpret
the things which would give us a life changing formula. And today the same
formula has shaped itself as the best
way to live is to give. The formula told us to give. It has various implications but let’s focus on the one
only. The implication which we are
taking today is within you and is the most important tool for the success. For
that if you have not started giving just start giving as soon as possible and
if you already started just don’t stop giving. Because, the best way to live is
to give efforts. Efforts are the
collective form of the forces which we apply in a direction to achieve the
desired goals. And it is that force which takes us closer and closer towards
our goal. This is not anything new it is people’s effort only which makes them
great and immortal.
I think you all know about Mr.
Steve Jobs. Let me ask you a difficult question, what is that he known for? You
all would comfortably say Apple with
a cute smile. It is going to hurt you when I would tell it is not true at all. It
is not Apple but NeXT, he is known for. In the year
1985, Steven Paul Jobs was terminated from the Apple from the organization which he cofounded few years back. He
had nothing left in his hands. He lost everything at the very same time except
his desire to give efforts. He
stopped everything in his life but didn’t stop giving efforts. With the very
same desire and continuous efforts he started NeXT a new organization in the very same year. With all his efforts
he showed the entire world his strength with the huge success of the NeXT and retained the chair of CEO of
the Apple. Similar is the case with
MS Dhoni. When he missed an opportunity to get selected in Indian team and
joined Railways on his father’s wish, he left everything- his home, friends but
didn’t stop giving his efforts on the ground. It was his efforts only which
made him the most successful finisher and captain in the world.
In the both cases, even going
through the most difficult times of their life, the time no one wants to face
in their life both the persons did one thing in common. They didn’t stop giving
the efforts and this desire to keep giving, makes them the greatest in their
respective fields. This shows the preaching is not at all invalid in this
dynamic world also. If your intentions and interpretation is right and unique
you will rule the world even with the traditional teachings, the only thing is
you must have capability to see through in an uncommon way. It applies in every situation of life- exams,
interview, business etc. All my dear, the most traditional teach-“When god is for you who can be against you”.
It holds true in all cases when you start believing the fact; god has decided all good for you, the
thing is you need to keep moving and giving efforts.
Do share your valuable suggestions on this uncommon observation....
Nicely done Ajay. Those 2 examples of Steve Jobs & MSD really helps in understanding never giving up efforts.
