Many a time toppers wish to win always. An ambition makes them do that initially, then it is the peer pressures and subsequently then the self guilt of not doing well, and a thought what others would think, leading more internal pressures to do well. The critics, trolling and all feedback’s get into little heads and confusion begins ‘is this going to work or not’
Every success has an expiry date. Every failure too has an expiry date.
Many leads, politicians, celebrities and even professionals, school and college toppers strive hard to have continuous success but alas this is not going to happen as the unknown force, decides that span of success or failures.
However if we have to be continuously successful, a few tips.
a) Be humble, build good will so that in down time, someone will be there to help us to make us again revive our career.
b) Keep learning and sharing… This will create opportunities if not today, but some day
c) The sooner we come out of rat-race, the more the chances of more successes.
d) Being too much confident of our activities can also act as dampers, avoid over-confidence
e) Choosing right role models play an important role to succeed
f) Save for future,,, save good will, save money, save friends, save your own network. All will go well.

Stop living your present life for a day or week or whatsoever.. sans any philosophical discussions, sans any boy friend.. sans any girl friend.. sans any whatsapp.. mobile, photography.. and just go to hill station.. spend time with birds, bee, animals.. and try to understand the animal mentality… No cribbing about what they didn’t get.. adjust to environment all by own.. they may not even steel your clothes to protect themselves from cold, or heat.. and unless it is a monkey.. will not try to take away what you eat.. or if it is tiger.. max it will try to eat you… but if you throw a large piece of meat .. they really do not try to eat that and also grab you and have another round of meal”
Swamy ”what are you indicating”
‘Rob ”a correction to my earlier statement.. Successful person is one who is happy in giving what they have and just doing their bit to not clamor things for themselves.. they will not crib if they loose something.. they will not get excited.. if they win something.. absolute neutral to life.. as they understand the value of themselves being a living entity”
