1. “Your dream, passion and work – all of them have life. If you can feel the life in them, you are sure to grow higher.”

We dream to excel in whatever we do. It is easy to recognize feelings and emotions scrolling in the hearts of your dear ones as you know understand and love them. The same implies to all that which form your life, identity and personality; It could be your ambitions, thoughts, dreams, passion, and work.

2. “We all work but only those who transform their work as a tool to change the reality and build their future stand as true achievers.”

Along with following the rules of the job, most of the time, we follow the boundaries and limitations as well. Something different and something extra happens in the world when we peep out of the boundaries and try to do something by crossing the limit. The routines keep us moving but they don’t help us to keep growing. A change in the reality is certainly required in order to show the world, the color of success and true joy. We prove ourselves only through what we do. So, the developments and highlights which you bring would act as platform which helps you to succeed and show your potential to the entire world.

He then started an oil and gas company, Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. and built it into a Fortune 500 company. The philanthropist focused on science, environmental sustainability and donated to charitable causes too.

3. “Sincere, true and devoted efforts are never left unrewarded.”

Ultimately, it is what you’ve done that decides your future. We are paid for every deed of ours. If it’s a good one then our remaining part of the journey would be filled with petals and fragrance of sweetness and goodness. But if it’s not so good, then the path which we got to walk along would definitely add thorns and stones. Your thought gets transformed into dream. Dream is converted into ambition and it is your aims which take form into actions and deeds to add onto milestones. All that you do has an impact not just on your life but also on the society. Awards and rewards, appreciations and applause, and fame and recognition are showered upon you for the good work you do. A golden step to be climbed up to get closer to success will all be yours for the humble and dedicated effort which you put in.

Facing the state persecution, he never quit his struggle at any cost. The world itself gifted him by naming a prize which is given to people and organizations dedicated to human rights, in his honor. It’s called the Sakharov Prize.

4. “Never doubt your potential. You are worth more than what you believe you are.”

It is we who form the universe. Our lives, our consciousness and our cognition would make the nature do its part in featuring our destinies to us. Talent is always there in you; you got to put it out. Strength always characterizes you; you got to believe in it. An opportunity is always given to you. You got to recognize it. You need to accept the chance you’ve got to prove yourself by trusting your abilities. You don’t even have an idea about capabilities and potential. You can only feel your worth and cannot see it. All your immense energy is brought into light when you employ it to showcase what you are to the world. You can do it to fulfill your dreams and reach your aims. Situations reveal your courage! You are the sole protector of yourself. If you haven’t got a chance to unleash your potential to the world, don’t worry at all. You will soon do it.

5. “Knowledge doesn’t have a boundary and a learner has no limitations to learn.”

Only when you think different and look beyond the prevailing stereotype, you will uncover truth. All of us attempt but only few of the attempts stand out. Such attempts act as eye openers which lead the world. A lot of times, we only believe in what is believed. It may not be right all the time. But achievers are those who build righteousness and introduce the facts to the society. Knowledge is immense. It is like a huge jungle filled with canopies of wisdom. What matters is how well you unfold these canopies to understand facts. New things are not actually new. They mean that they were simply unknown to the world.

Life of Willem Einthoven seemed like an eye-opener. He diversified his prospect and perceptions. He widened his learning attributes to win over the negativity. The Dutch doctor and physiologist invented the first practical electrocardiogram. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the same. This invention was indeed a celebrated one as it cured a lot of problems faced by the medical science. Before his time, world believed that the beating of the heart produced electrical currents. But there were no proper instruments to accurately measure this phenomenon. He employed his knowledge to come up with new ideas, devices and equipments which helped him provide practical evidences of many real phenomena.
