Hello steemians!!! Thanks for being here. Our topic today is about success. When we get success we will celebrate it. But when we fail in doing something,we often think like this:
"I am not a lucky guy"
"My luck is not favoring me"
"I am not successful"
"Failure is haunting me every day"
"I can assure that I'm going to fail in the interview"
"As I don't belong to that community, certainly I am going to lose that job”
"I don't have any god-father to support me"
These are the statements we keep thinking often when we get failure . They are dejected, frustrated, terribly disappointed with the failure they experience. They do not realize that nobody is responsible for their failure except self-sabotage. They are not aware that their negative mental attitude and improper scheduling lead them to face failure.
Mind can reform or deform one's personality
As John Milton said in Paradise Lost "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of Hell, a hell of Heaven".
If you wish to make life heaven, here are a few techniques to manage the activities of the mind. It is high time that the youth now recognize 'success' as not a chance but as purely a choice. In olden days, political power or financial support was necessary to get a job even for intelligent candidates. Now no such power is required and the jobs are given to the deserving and intelligent candidates. I, therefore suggest that the 7 "p" s will take you to the summit of success.
"Mind is like a goat. The goat jumps from one plant to another plant. It never eats a plant fully. Even so, the mind jumps from one object to another."
-Swami Sivananda
The 7 'Pt s formulae
Passion, Positive attitudes, Preparation, Planning, Practice, Patience, and Perfection are the 7 "P"s to make the success a habit. These formulae never fail if you can adhere and follow without fail.
Passion:
It is nothing but a strong desire, a burning desire that leads to a positive self-motivation. Passion represents an intense driving, or strong feeling or conviction. This suggests that passion is a very intense emotion. When you wish to achieve your goal you have to have a specific goal in mind and visualize success. Intense determination will support you physically and mentally.
Positive attitude:
It is the attitude, not the aptitude that determines your altitude in society. Martin Luther King expressed his positive attitude towards the freedom to the blacks. He said "My dear friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustration of the moment, I still have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former salves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood". His dream has come true today in America
Preparation:
For any experiment in the science laboratory or in a kitchen, you make arrangements that are needed for the successful preparation In the same manner when you wish to achieve your goal, you need to collect necessary information, corresponding literature or examination papers. It is also necessary to know about the success stories and meet such people who have achieved their goals.
Planning:
Whether it is right or wrong, we are not taking up any work without planning, while achieving success, this is a very important step. Here you have to think of a formula in mind- 'desire and deserved. The Indian government's five year plan was very successful as it was perfectly scheduled by experts. In the same manner, when you decide to win the game you have to make sure if the plan is measurable, achievable or not.
Practice:
It is the act of engaging in an activity again and again for the purpose of improving, or mastering it, as in the phrase 'practice makes perfect'. Once your planning is done, you have to strive vigorously until you achieve success, just like the sports teams practice to prepare for actual games. Playing a musical instrument well takes a lot of practice. It is a method of learning and of acquiring experience. In the same manner you have to practice vigorously and overcome hurdles.
Patience:
This step is very important because this is where many youngsters fail and become dropouts. Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting in a negative way. When you face a hurdle or difficulty, don't get frustrated or dejected. Patience is the level of endurance you can take before chaos. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.
Perfection:
Perfection is a state of flawlessness. Once you master the above six steps you will automatically achieve complete success. Many people reach their goals by adhering to the above six steps. Particularly in India where there was terrible discrimination prevailing among the people, castes, communities. Despite those differences and ill-treatment and non-cooperation some positive people could overcome the hurdles and achieved success.
Why don't you be one amongst them by following the 7 'Ps? That would definitely be possible. There is nothing impossible in our universe. Everything is possible but things take some time.
Now, I would like to tell a motivational story how to bring situations into our hands. Here I am taking Donkey as an example. When we are in troubles we should think how to solve it. we should think patiently and should take good decisions.
SUCCESS IS OUR CHOICE
The donkey story
One day a farmer's donkey fell into a well. The farmer frantically thought of what to of as the stricken animal cried out to be rescued. With no obvious solution, the farmer regretfully concluded that as the donkey was old, and as the well needed to be filled in any way, he should give up the idea of rescuing the beast, and simply fill in the well. Hopefully, the poor animal would not suffer too much, he tried to persuade himself.
The farmer asked his neighbor’s help, and before long they all began to shovel earth quickly into the well. When the donkey realised what was happening he wailed and struggled, but then, to everyone's relief, the noise stopped.
After a while, the farmer looked down into the well and was astonished by what he saw. One donkey was still alive, and progressing towards the top of the well. The donkey had discovered that by shaking off the dirt instead of letting it cover him, he could keep stepping on top of the earth as the level rose. Soon the donkey was able to step up over the edge of the well, and he happily trotted off.
Life tends to shovel dirt on top of each of us from time to time. The trick is to shake it off and take a step up.

@bharathpreetham that's a great story! I do feel like life's contrast is like the fuel for growth. It's the obstacles and struggles that help us to rise. I like to call them "gifts in strange wrapping paper."
