Success is Deliberate. There's no argument about this. Failure may not be deliberate, but a person never fails without their own consent. I believe it is important for us to keep hearing these facts. Hopefully, they would push us to do more each day and eventually build the life we have always dreamed of. I personally don't believe that any living person has failed, because to me, if you're alive right now, you can still try again and this time even better than before. Hence, If you can try "it" again, then you have not yet failed at it. You may only have made a mistake or failed at that attempt, but never really at what you want to achieve. Only a person who died with his dreams unborn has failed at accomplishing their dream. I'm glad to break the good news to you: if you're not dead, your dreams are not dead yet! First, you must agree that your dream is yours to chase. Dreams will eternally be dreams, and they won't change just because of you

"Relay-race" is to me, one of the most interesting sporting games. One moment, you have the baton, another moment, you're done having it -it's no longer yours to hold on to. Relay race is very similar to our human lives in the way the latter evolves from one generation of people to another. In relay, what you do when you have the baton matters a lot, since that is your own contribution to the whole game. The only time you have the power to actually influence the game is when you still have the baton. No one holds on to the baton for the whole time. We as dreamers really need to awaken from our slumber, lest, we'll never make it in reality. I always say this: We all are dreamers; some sleep for a lifetime; some eventually wake up and work on their dreams . Just like in a relay race, you already have the baton which in this case is your life and dreams. Don't just sit or sleep with the baton right there on the field of life. Wake up, get up and run as f

In July 2019, I had this great story-line for one of the short stories in my recent work. The excitement that so engulfed me was like a heavy rain-pour. This was because I thought I had an incredibly awesome story in mind. However, it is disappointing that as intense as the enthusiasm was, this is 2020, and I have still not written down the story. This is not to say that dreams or ideas are not valid. Instead, it emphasizes that dreams can be as useless and fruitless as a mere thought that comes once and forever goes away with the wind...without any remembrance at all. Someone else might have been wishing to be an artist, but all they do is enjoy the jolly feeling that comes with their ideas. If you have not realized yet, I bring it to your consciousness that "the initial feeling of excitement that comes with having a dream can be utterly meaningless if it doesn't lead the dreamer to take any complementary action". As a result of this, I constantly remind myse

I think it's expedient we realize the actual worth and essence of dreams. When Jerry was ten, it became the fifth year he had been wishing to ride an aircraft - a plane. After waking up one morning, he rushed out to his father and said, "Dad! Dad! I rode an aeroplane last night." His father laughed shortly knowing that it was only a dream, but he didn't discourage him.       Jerry is now 32 years old, and he has never even been to an airport. Jerry now sells books in a book store down the same street he used to run across many years ago with a kite in his hand. I write this anecdote to highlight one thing which is that, although dreams are valid, they are really just DREAMS, and they can even remain as that forever. This is because life doesn't give you what you wish for or what you dream of; it gives you what you work for or what it has for you.       Unfortunately, at every point in time, life always has something to occupy you with, other than what you
