Determined Efforts behind the road to Success

          Determined Efforts behind the road to Success

       
Nothing in this world comes for free as the saying goes “No Pain No Gain”.  Manifestly, we are supposed to go through and overcome some obstacles  so as to achieve our objectives since the path to success is not a bed of roses but a grueling journey. Thus, it is undeniable that the achievement is all about the result of years of hard graft mingled with unwavering perseverance and driving ambition as well as undiminished zeal.

     
Let me give some examples to illustrate the aforesaid statement. An ambitious student who aspires to pass the exam with distinctions or vastly  high marks has to burn the midnight oil day in and  day out in order to hit the target he has set, while the less-ambitious students with a mere intention of just passing the exam  are not devoting themselves to studying that much. Similarly, an athlete who aims to chalk up on the day of tournament has to put all-out effort into practice during the training period. He must be determined to be able to come out on top at any cost. Likewise, the obese people who long for weight loss have to work out vigorously,  and stick to a strict diet plan for a considerable period of time in order to shed their unwanted pounds. 

       
While pursuing our goals, we need to bear the proverb “Rome was not built in a day” in our mind. It points out that we should not expect to execute a complicated task, or capture a remarkable accomplishment by leaps and bounds within a fairly short timeframe. In other words, success does not come overnight. Therefore, we need to struggle for years putting sheer exertions before a significant breakthrough happens. For instance, we cannot master a foreign language unless we work on it relentlessly and passionately for many years.For example, if we take up  learning English today, we cannot hope to  become a guru of English language tomorrow. We need to live and breathe English, and put in a great deal of effort in order to achieve an excellent command of English.

        
To sum up, in order to stand out as successful individuals , we must get out of our comfort zone, and take some risks as needed since there is  a proverb “Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained”. On top of that, we must boldly face the obstacles in the path, and pursue our goals with an indomitable spirit. In this way, we will be able to surmount the challenges, and our long struggle will end in triumph.Then, we can taste the fruits of our hard-earned success.
