Making things work is tough. Doing things that are achieving in life can be hard sometimes. Be it life aims, future goals, achievements… whatever you want to call it, it’s hard. Life is tough. Life is hard. Life is not simple. Life treats us badly. Life is always looking you in the eye and trying to focus your attention otherwise. Life is something that knocks into your conscience and says, “Hey! That’s not right!” Achievements do not come that easily.

When we do well in our school work and satisfied about that, people say, you couldn’t go to University. When you go to University, they say, “you were able to go to University but still you don’t have a good career”. When you start working they say you could have gone for a better job. When you strive in your occupation, they say you would be better off if you were married as well. Then when you get married, they say, you still don’t have children. And then when you have a child, they point out to the fact that you only have one kid..!!!! Phew! What a hazard life is! Even if you do well in life people don’t see the good in you, but they say the bad.

So hey! Don’t bother about what other’s say. What’s important is what you want to do and can do. After all, it’s you that matters! We people are achievers. We can turn life topsy turvy. When the tide flows this way, we flow the other way. We can use any force to change things. That’s what makes us achievers!  After all each and every one of us are immensely lucky and strong human beings. Just think, the union of a humanoid egg and sperm has a once in a blue moon chance, one in a million chance to form a human being. We are a strong result of one such fight of a one in a million victory like that. We all are. We have fought that much to find our way out, that it makes me think, what are these small obstacles and issues compared to that?!?? Of course we will do well! I think the key to life is all about being yourself. Being true to yourself. Do what’s right for you and basically be yourself. Because we all are unique and strong entities put on earth to make things happen. The key to life is just being yourself and make the world remember you for who you are!!
