Moving Towards the Light…


Sometimes you want to say a lot of things but there is no one to listen to you. You seem lonely, darkness spread all over and no ray of light peeping through it. You are just alone and only the darkness stays with you as your partner. Now, you can assume it as your friend or your enemy but this is all you have with you. In such a situation what would be your best decision?? Take it as a friend, or, an enemy? Well… the question doesn’t seem to be tough but the answer may be, to some of you. What do you say? Well what I believe is that the answer can be both. Different people have different perceptions and a different line of thinking. They have their own passions and emotions running through their veins and so have a different approach from each other. What they choose is correct according to them. So, some may choose this darkness as their enemy. Such types of people are very pessimistic and they don’t understand the power of life or to say they underestimate their potential and compromise with what they have got. The others are those who believe that this darkness is their friend. Such people always try to learn from what they have got, and try to analyze as to what they have got and how they can make use of these resources which they have got. They are of the opinion that everything which they have got is meant to make them realize that they are meant to make them learn in somehow or the other. They are there to help them realize that everything in this world is full of some type of knowledge. It depends on how you interpret them and make the optimum utilization of this knowledge. These type of people believe that the glass is always half full (not half empty). They have a very optimistic approach towards life.

So which type of people you want to become. The first, or, the second? A time will always come in your life when you will feel that everything is bleak, dull, you have lost everything and there is no ray of light to help you out in taking you away from this depth of darkness towards the shining light of success. In such a situation it is you who have to decide whether you want to move out or not. If you give it to your fate then you will always remain there and keep on complaining that there is nothing which you can do. But this is not the truth. You can do everything.

You know what is the only difference between the two type of people explained above??

The differentiator is “DETERMINATION”. If you have it in you then you will never always be in the depth of darkness. You will always try to learn analyze and find out the way to get out from the ditch. One should always remember the fact that that it’s the effort that matters. How willing you are to get out of the situation in which you are; Your determination. One should not be afraid of failures and hesitate in taking the first step. If you are afraid then you will never try to attempt, which will make you stay in the darkness forever.

You can learn from the efforts made by Thomas Alva Edison. He tried to create light bulb but he failed every time. He failed but his determination was as hard as a rock. He failed 999 times and finally in his 1000th attempt he was successful. So... what do you learn from this example. It says that one can do what he wants but for that he needs to have “DETERMINATION”. Always remember the fact that: “A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES STARTS WITH A SINGLE STEP”. And you need to take that first step, the first step towards success, even if it a failure. It is from the failure which you learn. You know... when Thomas edison was asked in his interview that you have failed 999 times what he said? he said: “I have not failed 999 times but I know 999 ways of not lighting a bulb”. This was the line of thinking he had. There is always something to learn from everything around you and everything which you do. It depends upon you how you interpret it. This is the thing which is called “DETERMINATION”. If you have it in you then you can do anything and everything you want. So now the ball is in your side. What do you want to do? What do you want to choose???.....

Exceptionally well written piece I must say, moreover it comes at a time when the whole world is passing through a rough time and hence the timing makes the piece more effective.
Keep up the good work.

what u hve written in the article is what most people know..but seldom give attention to it...
i wud say the simplest thing written in a great manner nd effective as well...
actually..the reason y people dont give an attention to the fact u hve stated is the kind of lyfstyle they r following..the kind of competition they r facing..n so they forget about the very basic thing which ca help them being ahead of everyone in the competition...after reading ur article..i wud say...they will realise wat they r minssing...they will definitely realise the KEY WORD!!
gud job kumar...cheers !!
:-)

Its really a nice work . A great attempt in explaining the todays philosophy of life. This had once again recalled the necessity of looking for tiny light sources and having a collection of them ,instead of aspiring for stars only. Keep it up Vooucci!!
