"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions,it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. “-- Swami Vivekananda"My name should not be made prominent.
It is my ideas that I want to be realized"Let us do that and almighty will bless our societies It means that whatever may be the depth of the river or lake or pond, whatever may be the condition of the water, the Lilly flower always comes out and blossoms. Similarly, if there is a definite determination to achieve a goal, even against insurmountable problems, he or she will succeed.
The second component is the ability to overcome all hurdles coming in the way of mission accomplishment. Many of us have gone through large programme and projects. We would have experienced that success is not in sight and there are many hurdles. The same poet reminds us at this point of time through another couplet:It means successful leaders can never be defeated by problems. They become master of the situation and defeat the problems. I consider these two kurals characterize the indomitable spirit. I am sure all of you will rise to the occasion and develop leaders enlightened citizens. Thought (dream) gives vision, Vision gives thoughts and thought leads to actions.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who make excuses and those who get results. An excuse person will find any excuse for why a job was not done, and a results person will find any reason why it can be done. Be a creator, not a reactor.
BE A CREATOR…!
Never compromise to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic.... because
they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in
your heart!
