Winners and losers
Once there was a sage who was spending time with his disciples and as he was mentioning about his previous disciples, he said he had both winners and losers among his followers.
One of his disciples seemed confused with this. How can the same Guru have both winners and losers among his followers. The saint explained himself with examples. He explained how a few didn't give any excuse for whatever conditions or circumstances they were going through.
A blind who was never stopped by darkness, a deaf man with no regrets in not being able to hear, a boy who was born in a poor family but didn't sink into poverty, a man who lost all his wealth but not his hope, a boy who was dodged as he was considered being insane, was never held back coming up with flying colors. He said, you all know these individuals.
The blind was none other than Erik Weihenmayer an American athlete, adventurer, author, activist and motivational speaker, was the first person without eyes to reach the summit of Mount Everest back in 2001. Ludwig van Beethoven the German born was the deaf, the most admired composer in the history of Western music, his compositions were among the most performed in the classical repertoire of the time. He made a prominent name of his own as a composer and as a pianist before he passed away at the age of 56. Indian business tycoon who founded Reliance Industries none other than Dhirajlal Hirachand Ambani was one who made his fortune out of scratch. The man who lost all his wealth with the collapse of ABC Ltd is Amitabh Bachchan who went bankrupt and came out of it to his present status. Last but not the least, the cracked child grew up to the world's most popular scientist of all times - Albert Einstein. The only thing that was common among all these personalities was : they never complained or made excuses of the challenges they faced.
Situations or circumstances have nothing to do with the outcome. The effort is the only thing that matters and it will bring glorious results.
