How do you spell success - Is there any Shortcut?

 Mia closed the browser and flipped the lid of her laptop. She was thinking about what her future would be as she failed to get through the University. She wished to serve people since childhood and had thus decided to become a doctor. 

_________________________________________________________________________________

"How did it go dear? Did you get through the University?" Mia's mom walked into her room with a curious look on her face. Mia burst into tears  and said, "I.. I am sorry mom... I... I was unable to get through the University.... I have lost all hope..." 

"Don't worry my dear... So what if you were unable to get into this University? There are many universities in and around the state. You could apply to other universities. Never give up on hope." told her mother to calm her down. "But...but what if I fail to get into those universities? All the hard work I put through would become pointless!" told Mia as she was sobbing. 

"You should not think like that. Putting hard work and effort might not bring the success we look for. Sometimes, all the hard work we put in might seem to fail. We should never give up hope. If we wish to achieve something by all means, we should keep putting effort into achieving the same until we succeed" These words by Mia's mom helped her look at the situation from a different perspective. 

___________________________________________________________________________________

Mia never gave up. She got into one of the popular university and is now a successful doctor who made her dream come true. There were various barriers which she overcame to become the person she is now. The question here is - how do you spell success and what does success mean to you? Success might be different based on various individuals. Some people believe success in life as earning money and living a lavish lifestyle while others believe success as living happily with their family. 

However all of us can agree on what does success look like when we fulfil our dreams. 

Success could mean different things to different people. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to success and the only way to achieve success is by putting in effort or hard work. If you have to achieve some goal in life, mere praying and wishing for that goal to be fulfilled cannot work wonders. On the other hand, you have to work hard to achieve the goal, even if you are unable to achieve it initially.

Just as the proverb goes, "Try... Try... Till you succeed!"

Remember that hard work would always be rewarded with success.

Have a great day and stay strong! :)
