My View about Life/Opportunities/Dreams

Life is not like a game but it is like a BATTLE,  a battle for snatching opportunities that pass by...
actually...it is the biggest battle that we fight...
It is the battle which we need to fight everyday.
Either we heal and keep fighting after every failure
OR
we're gonna crumble and lose, every minute, every second until we are finished.
We are in between one of the most fiercest battle and, we can just get lost, give up and get the shit kicked out of us...
OR
we can fight our way back into the light(Ray of hope).

Now nobody, but I got to do it
When i see back in time....
I see that I have made every wrong choice a kid can make, Every mistake a kid can do...
I did everything wrong that I could possibly do.
I have been chasing away everyone who cared for me, thought good for me.
I learn that as we get old in life, we get/Achieve a lot, but at the same time
we lose a lot more than that.
well that's part of life. But, we only learn this, when we start losing stuff.
Life is a battle which we  fight every day, every hour, every minute and every second.
The margin for error is very small, and we have very limited time to make up for the mistakes/Blunder we do.
one half a second too late or too early, and we cannot achieve what we want, cannot realize the DREAMS we dream...

The opportunities we need are everywhere around us,
They are in every minute, every second we live...
they are in every inch around us...
they are in every challenge that knocks our door and tries to go back.

In this battle we need to fight for just one more minute, walk one more inch, and face one more challenge....
We need to fight for that one minute, one inch, one challenge if we want to realize the Dream we always saw/thought.
In this battle we need to tear ourselves, struggle every second we live, sacrifice everything that is dearer to us...
We need to do everything that leads us to the realization of Our DREAM.

Because when we will add up all those minutes, inches and challenges...
that's gonna make the Real difference
Between Winning and Losing...
Between Living and Dying...

I know... In any fight...
its an individual who is willing to die is gonna win that battle.
and I know, if i have any LIFE left in me then I am going to be ready to fight every minute, struggle for every second,  and sacrifice myself to achieve my DREAM.
Because that's what living is....

Now.. I got to fight it out myself... and I don't know how...
All I know is... God is gonna be there... right besides me...
giving me the strength to survive for that one minute, inch and challenge....
because he knows, when it comes down to it... I am gonna give all the energy left in me to achieve my DREAM...
and GOD Helps only those... who help themselves....

now!!! ITS TIME!! I got to go out in the battlefield and snatch my opportunities from the jaws of Sadness, Hopelessness, Laziness and every possible evil property that exists in this world...

I KNOW CAN DO IT and I WILL DO IT... :)

Hard Work or Luck ??

“Bob: Hey, I got a job”

“Ron: I didn’t even get a call, my luck is really bad”

“Me: Ron, It’s all about hard work and not luck.”

I always used to believe that success or failure in any work depends solely on how much work you have put in to achieve it. “If you want something you have to put in more than 100% to achieve it, and if you don’t achieve it then stop blaming luck because you did not give your 100% and that is why you failed.” This was what I used to tell to my friends and they used to tell me that “It does not matter how hard you try, but if luck is not favoring you, then you will not achieve it”.

I never believed them and in fact I did not want to believe them, because not believing them always made me give more than 100% in every work that I did till date. Also I tasted success in all the tasks that I have ever done, so my belief was stronger now.

But some days ago I found out that one of my colleagues got what I am trying to get for the past one year and I could not even move one single step forward in achieving it. I was shocked and surprised because I was somehow better than him in most of the qualities needed to get that Job.

Now this incident has put me in double minds and I am now confused if I have not given my 100% in trying to find a job or my luck is bad?

I think its time to believe my friends that there is something like LUCK, and if it favors you only then your 100% counts. Otherwise you just have to keep on trying and PERSUADE luck to favor you.

Now the statements have become:

“Bob: Hey, I got a job”

“Ron: I didn’t even get a call, my luck is really bad”

“Me: Ron, I am sure you must have tried very hard but keep on trying and your luck will favor you very soon.”

Land of Opportunities!!

“Hey Friends, you know what? I got my Visa and I will be flying to the Land of Opportunities (USA). I will fulfill all my dreams that I ever dreamt off. I will be a successful person now.”

I am sure most of us who come to USA think the same before landing here. True enough. People do come to USA and try to fulfill their long lasting dreams and many do get a chance to taste success. Ever wondered at what cost that success comes at?

It comes at the cost of staying away from your family, friends and loved ones and to add to that, its not the person who comes to US but their family back home who suffer a lot. Every minute their family/parents are worried if their son/daughter is doing good or not. How will he/she manage everything and survive.

Talking about me, I had a great 2 and half years of journey in USA till now and the journey is still going on, but when I look back at my old days and try to see what I gained, it looks like I gained a lot but I lost a little more, than what I gained!!

Money and Dreams are not everything in Life, which is what I realized from my own self. Many people may not agree with me on this, but I am sure those who have fulfilled their dreams... will support my realization that Family, Friends and Enjoying the present moments is more important than many other things in life.

Before I started this journey even I believed that if you earn well then you will be happy but now that belief have changed. What will I do by earning good and with whom will I share all that. My family is not around me, and I am doing all this for my Parents and family (really strange why I am doing so…).

I hope that God will give me a chance to go back home some time soon and spend some time with my family.

I cannot think of anything else at this point of time so I would sign off from here.
