The Road to Success

When a road is built to connect one place with another, signboards are placed along the way. They inform travellers about the right direction in order to reach their desired destination. The traveller who follows the signboards properly will definitely arrive at his destination.

          The journey of life is like a road. On this road too there are signboards. For the person who wants to travel on the road of life and arrive at his desired destination it is necessary to read the signboards that have been placed along the way and follow their instructions.

In this regard, the first and foremost thing to do is to select, after deep reflection, a road for oneself, a road that one must never have to leave. To keep changing one’s road is to take oneself back in one’s journey. Success is possible on every road, but the person who keeps changing his road cannot arrive at his destination.

The second most important thing is that one must not get stuck in the obstacles that one is bound to face while travelling on the road. Avoiding these inevitable obstacles, one must proceed ahead. To clash against these obstacles will cause the journey of life to come to a halt. On the other hand, ignoring these obstacles will enable one to continue with one’s journey.

The third most important thing is that the traveller must not become satisfied with the little benefits that he may gain while on the road, for that would make him complacent and lead him to deviate from his target. In this world, you can score a big success only if you don’t agree to settle for small successes. For the sake of a big benefit you must ignore small benefits. In the hope of the future, you must rise above the present.
