What really decides your victory are the attempts you make, the steps you take and the commitment you stick to, in order to move in the line of progress. You will truly win when you understand your relation with your interest. Alfred Neubauer realized what his interests meant to him and he also figured out how to add meaning to his curiosity. His immense and wonderful talent would remain undiscovered if he had not taken up chances to act after learning.  

His hunger to establish what he dreamt of, let him become the Mercedes-Benz racing chief. For his perfection, he was rated the best, for the kind of service he gave.

3. “When your effort to look for opportunities is pure and genuine, you are sure to end up finding or even creating one.”

If you want to achieve something and expect the world to look up to you for inspiration, then you got to do it and only you can do it. We know about a lot of achievers and would have read about a couple of them. Sometimes, people who are right around you and with you would grow very tall to touch the peak of success. This might seem quite impossible for a few and some may find it hard to accept it.

You know what you want in life; You know what you have to go through in order to get what you want.

5. “Remember why you started every time you plan to quit.”

Everyone here on earth is born for a particular purpose. We live our lives but alongside, trying and finding out what our purpose also is equally important. The reason behind our birth is to introduce ‘good’ into the society. A deep analysis of the “why” of your life would help you become a better person.   Always remember that our lives have a fixed span and within which we got to prove ourselves. Do you know when your journey may take a different turn? Predicting life in itself is unpredictable, so never wait. ‘Wait’ will not fetch you what you want.

His knowledge and interested soon expanded into different levels and fields and finally got him where he was destined to.
