Patience is a must..

Winning is not just a one factor shot. Numerous of factors must be set right to crush your opponents and snatch the victory out. 

Let me tell you a short story about the 1980 Olympic Gold Medal winning Ice Hockey Team's coach Herbert Paul Brooks, also known as Herb Brooks. Herb was himself an American hockey player who was even taken into the team of 1960 Olympics, but just one day before the team was to leave for the Olympics, the coach at that time ousted Brooks and included some other player. Brooks watched the whole tournament with his father and at last when the American team won the Gold Medal, Brook's father taunted him by saying, "I believe the coach send the right person out." This actually torn him into pieces, his heart was shattered from inside, but he never lost hope. In the year 1980, he was chosen as the national coach for the Olympic team. At that time too the Soviets and Americans were at a cold war in the game too but the only difference was that the American team consisted of just college studying students of average age of 21 and Soviets comprised of world's biggest players and had won Gold medals in consecutive four previous Olympics, but Brooks knew that this was high last chance. He had waited for 20 years and now he just can't accept defeat. The team, miraculously reached the final stage of the game and was to compete against the Soviet Union's team. Everybody was just thinking what would happen next, suddenly Brooks entered the dressing room and said, " I am tired of listening that the Soviets are the biggest hockey players in the world, they had their own time and now its your turn, and eventually the team went on to win the gold medal in the 1980 Olympics.

The thing on which I am trying to focus through Brooks example is his great patience. The man waited for around 20 years to prove to the nation that he loved hockey more than anybody else and even if he would have gone, the team would have won the medal in the 1960. Brooks waited for 20 years rather than losing his patience and cursing the world for being cruel to him. 

Blaming others is a pure work of cowards. You only get what you deserve. If today you are not a billionaire, its just because you don't deserve to be one now, but you can surely change the things, you are not a coward, you are better than that. Just go ahead and get what you want, the world will follow on its own...........
