1. “Leaves breathe through stomata and a winner does the same through his/her inner thriving spirit to achieve.”

Victory may be a part of life for the ordinary. But it is the breath of an achiever’s life. Life is impossible if breath is lost. Hence, the winner continues to succeed all throughout his journey irrespective of any challenge. Leaves respire through their stomata and they respect the same. Along with helping the leaves breathe, stomata look after the leaves and ensure their healthy well-being. Our dreams and desire to achieve them at any cost simulates our respiration- aspiring achievers’ respiration. However, along with our strong decisions to win, equal amount of efforts-filled actions follow. Our actions describe our mental strategies and promote our thoughts to the next level. Therefore, a strong desire to achieve helps us live long through our achievements.

2. “Hard work has no boundaries. There are no limitations to succeed.”

Who said that there are qualifications which are required to succeed? Who said that life only from 18 to 60? One common mistake which we all do is to draw boundaries around us and live within the limitations. When no one has asked us to limit our potential, why do we have to? A hard worker succeeds anyway and anytime. It is not just the way you lead your life that takes you high, but it is also the mindset and thoughts which help you witness true success. Realization doesn’t happen with prior intimation. It all happens automatically. Hence, you don’t really have to worry about boundaries and constraints, you only got to focus on what you have to do and do it. There are achievers who’ve achieved after their 50’s and 60’s too. So never lose hope; you are sure to achieve some day essentially.

Life gives you a practical demonstration of what is needed to attain success. Not everyone can succeed and not everyone who understands life succeeds. So it is the 3 d’s: dedication, determination and desire that must be added to achieve what you dream of instantly. These qualities manifest willpower and perseverance into our attempts and take them towards sanctity. Every real idea that you get by looking around and every lesson that you learn from what happens in your life guides you into the right path and helps you win what you have to. You don’t really have to depend on others’ lives and experiences for guidelines and lessons because your life itself acts as a source of all the teachings and preaches you the right way for you to follow. Apart from the incidents which happen in life, introspections and analysis of why things happened would add more to your winning process.

Just because your dream job is that of an editor, you cannot straight away be one.
