Deepest Valley Lies Beside The Steepest Mountain

 Deepest Valley Lies Beside The Steepest Mountain  

William Henry Bill Gates, one of the most successful entrepreneur and philanthropist and the role model for every individual who aspires to become rich, was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and Albert Einstein with an extra chamber for intelligence in his brain , Sir Isaac Newton with  an inbuilt microprocessor , Thomas Edison with a god-gifted idea of light bulb, Sidney Poitier with an MOU signed by god to get the Oscar and Walt Disney with all the goodies of Disneyland.

If you think so, then you are absolutely wrong!!!!!!

Every successful man on this earth was once grappling with the whirlpool of frustration and failures. Even after passing out form Harvard, Bill Gates failed at his first business 'Traf-O-Data' but he didn't lose hope and sliding a long distance though the ups and downs ultimately succeeded in building the 'Microsoft' empire. Albert Einstein, the noble  prize winner, could not even speak until he was four and could not read until he was seven and was even expelled from school and refused admittance in polytechnic school. He still fought with the circumstances and his disabilities and ended up making his name synonymous with genius. Sir newton, whose laws of motion we and every object obeys, used to fail in maths in his early days and Edison failed literally a thousand times before he could lay the invention of the light bulb. Worse irony ran through the life of of Walt Disney, the master of imagination, as he was chucked out of a newspaper company on the grounds of 'lacking imagination and having no good idea'. Thereafter, he saw a series of failures back to back and even got bankrupted before he could actually discover the formula for success.

Similar tough terrains have been there and will be there for anyone who wishes to reach the zenith, and whether you will reach there or not is actually decided in that deep valley of failures. It somehow follows Darwin's 'selection principle' of survival of the fittest. If you manage to struggle and cope with those tough times you will definitely reach the pinnacle but if you get disheartened and you quit, then you may merrily raise the count of a huge number that comprises the people who didn't dare to take one, but "Last Step" and that is what made the difference.

It's always the last mile of a journey that takes the greatest courage and determination and none other than YOU can motivate yourself for that last step. So, never fear failure, rather keep patience and keep striving.

Remember the lower you get suppressed, the higher you rise, BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT.

ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE

ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE

What is the definition of human happiness?? To get rich?? To get successful?? To get someone??? But isn't this worldly happiness relative?? you get richer than you already are, or than anybody else, but once you reach that you want to more rich. many people have allowed money to ruin their lives.You want a big house, you get it, but once you get it you aspire for bigger. And imagine one of your relatives getting it before you. will you still be happy?? We all know the answer. So, all such pseudo-happiness measures that have been alluring people since ages are transitory and fade away in an instant when we compare our assets with others.

The only reason behind human sorrows is this desire for relative happiness. This has made even our emotions, like love, to become relative. Now you don't love someone but you love someone more than something else.Same is the case with trust, with respect and even with negative emotions like hatred and fear. We end up being discontented only because this is what we actually aspire for. With relative happiness we can never build a truly happy life.

But then what absolute happiness is???

It is when we desire not to get, but to give. Not to get immense bank deposits but wisdom. Not to get successful, but enlightened. One can get absolute happiness only when one ends the tradition of comparison, and learns to praise the work of others. We get into a conflict when we feel that what other person says is wrong, but if instead of being judgemental, we walk in a mile in his shoes and consider that he is right in his place if not mine, we may get many problems solved and be happy. To get happy, you need to first know yourself, your sorrows and your desires and then choose selectively which desire to be heeded and which one to be abandoned and only then you can achieve supreme joy, wisdom and compassion and a happiness which is perpetual and won't fade away with time or instances because it is the absolute happiness.
