Abstract

I’m feeling frustration right now. And that’s the primary reason that I’m writing this piece. Because when you feel frustrated is exactly the time when you can make the difference. That’s the time, when you’re not expecting much and you have all that rage, all that negative energy, which can either lead you to give up or can lift you up. It all depends on how you use it.I don’t want to sound like a self-proclaimed life-guru but the thing is life is tough and there is no easy way to live it. Yes, you can make choices, you can opt an easy route by compromising your dreams and giving up on your ambitions. But remember, you will be rewarded in accordance with your efforts and your commitment. You are okay with giving up on your ambitions? Okay, go ahead. Have an easy life.But if you’re one of the ‘tough ones’ — someone who is in the pursuit of excellence — don’t assume that life will get easier, rather you have to show perseverance and patience in the face of adversity. You have to show up and face it.

Few worth-sharing lines from The Defiant Ones

Tired of listening to all these gurus and their useless schemes/formulae for success? Don’t worry! You’ve come to the right place.

Like most of you, I have already tried this path, listening to motivational speeches and trying to get my self together. But I failed. I failed miserably.

So, what did I do to get out of this deep dark hole of self-pity? Apparently, nothing special.

All I did, I stopped listening to these gurus and instead of looking for a secret formula for success, I started working on the things that actually matter. However, I’m still miles away from where I want to be. I’m still frustrated.

In fact, I’m feeling frustration right now. And that’s the primary reason that I’m writing this piece. Because when you feel frustrated is exactly the time when you can make the difference. That’s the time, when you’re not expecting much and you have all that rage, all that negative energy, which can either lead you to give up or can lift you up. It all depends on how you use it.
