Winning - The journey



Winning is the best feeling one can ever get in their life. Winning is something which cannot be taken away from you if you work hard, you will get face to face with it one day. For me, winning is just a step to achieve my dreams and to achieve those dreams not only winning, but the journey is as important for me.

There is no scientific code to win. Anyone can win if they work hard. For me, winning is important, but not as important as the journey you take and the obstacles you face while you're working towards it, because the path to winning teaches us a lot more than winning itself.

We don’t achieve strength by winning, our strength is developed by our struggles, the more we struggle the more sweeter is the taste of winning. No matter how far you reach or how much winnings you have registered in your account. At some point, you are bound to stumble. If you’re constantly pushing yourself higher and higher, the law of averages predicts that you will at some point fall. And that fall my friend is – Failure.

When failure strikes, a lot of us give up, I have too, many times, but you win the race partially when you brush yourself up and get back on track. We learn from every mistake and every experience, particularly our mistakes, as they teach us and force us into being more ‘Ourselves’.

Winning is not only getting a trophy or topping your school results or getting a promotion. Winning is so much better when it lifts everyone around you, when it illuminates the light of your success on others and show them the right direction and path to walk on. Great are those men who win not only to win, but to lay the right path for others. Such are the speakers who will be there to guide us at India Today Conclave 2014, get more details here: http://www.indiatodayconclave.com

Arun Shourie won when he enlightened us with his great knowledge, Arvind Kejriwal won when he sparked the fire among the Indians to fight for what is right. Kalki Koechlin won when she gave us great unconventional cinema to satisfy our creative minds. Every one of them won because they opened a new path or direction for us to follow. And that’s what winning does, it creates a brighter future and a better world as it has more wiser people to illuminate their light upon it.

Ending on what one of my favorite movies taught me. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Us playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
