We are each endowed with immense potentials. Events, occurrences and achievements Through history have continued To amplify and corroborate this assertion. For each and every one of us Our possibilities are limitless. All through history men who lived their passion, Have left their mark on the sands of time But in all men who excelled, Have acted on their natural inclination, Had acted on their natural propensity. Whether we become victims of our circumstances Or masters of circumstances is entirely our doing We are each born into an environment, It shapes us; it creates direction for us, But whether we succeed or fail in life, Depends on whether we have left, Our destiny in the hands of our circumstance, Or whether we took our destiny in our hands, Cause our perception, our beliefs, our thoughts, Beyond any other factors determine Whether we would do anything at all What we would try to do How we would try to do it And the spirit with which we would put to do it Ultimately, the difference between Success and failure is mind set The difference between great men and ordinary men Is depended on the spirit with which we have lived our lives, In the end what we become is our doing. « return. |
