how to become success full

Dear Student, Hope You are doing well. Welcome to another journey of of success. This time I am gonna tell you something which you already know. This has been taught to you since your childhood and still you disagree to it. “Whatever happens, happens for good”

You must have been through various ups and down of your life.

“Life is not a bed of roses, It is a constant struggle”

But the secret to enjoy life is “Journey must go on”. You might fail once, twice, always but not forever. I would like to share story of a man whom you know very well and idealize him with success- STEVE JOBS.

Steve jobs was Born to unmarried mother, Joanne in San Francisco. He was adopted at birth. The terms of adoption as decided by her biological mother was only graduate parents would be eligible for adoption, although she later discovered that the new parents were not graduate. On this, the new parents promised her to provide best education to Steve. As Steve grows up, he learns to read and joins college. He felt that he was not doing justice to his own education so drops education. At the same time he learns calligraphy at college out of interest and was depend on free food served by Hare Krishna Temple. Goes to Indian and explores himself. Comes back and Starts Apple Computers in garage with his father. Apple become popular and starts making profits. He hires a CEO who fires Steve from his own company, APPLE. That’s the time when he met love of his life Laurene Powell Jobs. Later Steve starts NeXT Computer company and Pixar. Pixar launches first animated movie ‘Toy story’. NeXT was making huge profits. He sold it to Apple and becomes CEO of Apple. He bids good bye to all of us in 2011 by working till his last breath.

Steve says in his speech at Stanford, “Whatever happens, happens for Good” If these challenges would not have come his way, he would not have been so innovative and so successful.

So students, remember, life is full of challenges. If you fear from them then, they will overcome you, but if you face them, they will empower you. Choice is all yours. Whether to spend all your life reading success stories, or to get up and make one.

Blessings, Anuja Shukla
