The Industrious Excel
Industry can
push up mediocrity to excellence. Look at the history of the world. All those
who have achieved something great have done so by means of hard work. They were
wholly absorbed n their work. Such work gave them limitless joy and
contentment. It imbued them with energy and self-confidence. It is not out of
place if I quote Thomas Ava Edison the uncommon genius with lot of inventions to
his credit. He said. “Inventions are not accidents. They are the rewards for
unceasing effort”. So genius is one –percent inspiration and ninety-nine
percent perspiration. 
Genuine
success and unending industry are inseparable companions. –in spite of hard
work, ne may fail. But without sincere effort no one can attain excellence. We should
remember that we could get valuable objects only by means of continuous effort.
It is only in the dictionary that ‘success’ comes before ‘effort’. In order to
succeed. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; think of it; dream of
it; live on that idea, . Let the brain , muscles , nerves, every part of your body
be full of that idea, and leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. No individual is
identical to the other. Hence, in order to prove ourselves we nee not all be eminent
scientists. Their zest for work must inspire us to attain excellence in our own
fields. Imitating does not make you great; inspiration can be derived from a
great person. You are You. You cant be the other.
Indeed we
are all different from one another in gait and speech, in interest and
aptitude, in skills and abilities. We do not need to imitate anybody. With strong
determination, we can preserve our high spirits and enthusiasm, pursue our goal
with courage and confidence, can overcome the unnerving sense of defeatism and finally
we can drive away or submissiveness, our servitude, and our inferiority
complex.
Whatever may
be the field-religion, arts, literature, agriculture or science-the highest achievement
is possible only by means of incessant effort. All those who have enriched our
wealth of knowledge are people who exemplify the importance and glory of hard
work. The intensity of their aspiration, the enthusiasm in their work, the concentration
of their mind, the height of their success-are these not the sources of inspiration
for people working in any field? We have to take them as our models; we must
work with joy and enthusiasm, move on with courage and fervour.
But, if He exists?
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening
for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him.
One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something,
which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does
not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am
afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes
rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I
derive 4m.
