There is a principle in finance that says, ‘Higher the risk one takes, higher is the return he gets’. This principle holds true in everyone’s life too. In order to enjoy the benefits of something, we have to pay price for it. Likewise, one attains success in return of the hard work that he puts in. A journey towards success is always full of hurdles. Moreover, it is not always possible to wait for fate to work for us. It is only up to us, to work for what we want in our life. Hence, for the changes that we want to see in our lives, we should always risk for doing what we believe. To risk is to grasp that opportunity that is waiting for us.
Success never comes easily. We often fear to take risks because of the fear of failure. However, failures are the part of our life. Every individual has to face failure in his or her lifetime. Great personalities like Michelangelo, Thomas Edison, Henry ford, Mahatma K Gandhi also, had to go through hurdles in their life. Nevertheless, that never stopped them from working for what they believed. They emerged from the failure & gave their best work to the world. It always amazes me how these people get inspired by the storms in their lives. In spite of all the obstacles in life, they pursued their work. Every obstacle would turn into an opportunity when we are ready to work harder & harder for it. Nothing in life is possible without hard work.
One of my favorite teachers always said, ‘efforts may fail but never fail to make efforts. Always look at the people who stand high in spite of all the odds in their life. Never let any problem prevent you from making efforts for what you believe in’.
I want to be the Michelangelo of finance, the Edison of accounts & learn from my failures the way they did. :)
