My stepping stones

No comments yet

People always ask me who my favourite personality is or rather, who is that one person who influences me the most. And I answer them “I don’t have any role models in my life and no great personality has influenced me a great deal. But if I have succeeded in all that I have tried, there is only one thing that boosts me up and gives me the courage to go forward and that very important thing is nothing but the obstacles and stumbling blocks that I come across in life. It is my parents who injected that fighting spirit into my soul. Today whenever I face a problem, when the world pushes me down and when everything is against me, these same problems give me a boost upwards.

All thanks to my parents who taught me to fight my way to victory. They taught me to laugh at my problems, give myself a resolute shake and push forward. People say that if you are willing to go forward despite the obstacles that cross your way, then the world will bend to your will. And I agree with this broad-minded view. Life may not always be an orchard or a bed of sweet-scenting roses, there will be a few thorny bushes in between. But if you decide that nothing can push you down or hurt you in the least, then those thorny plants will fade into nothingness.

So walk forward with a brave smile, shake yourself free of all weariness, misery and negative mentality, fight, and keep on fighting your troubles with a brave smile until they fade into insignificance. Then at last the sun will break through your clouds and all your troubles will float away in the gentle breeze that springs up. And finally you will have your reward, you will be at your destination and you can proudly say, “I have fought the battle against my troubles and today I am victorious”!

So good-luck, soldiers.
