When we are
in the battle field, something that will demarcate the difference between the
loser and winner will never be any subtleties but a very uninvolved thing i.e.
who actually toiled hard.
One of the
greatest champions in the boxing history of the world, my own favorite, Muhammad
Ali, once acclaimed, “I hated every minute of training, but I said- Don’t quit.
Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.” What separates the
winners and losers is just one inch of a difference, the winner, in almost all
cases, just perspire one more drop of sweat and they are far ahead than anybody
else in the world. The one whole toils hardest in the practice session bleeds
least in the actual battlefield.
In life, we
all get what we deserve, nothing more and nothing less. While preparing
everybody is same. We all had the same time, the same energy and almost
everything matches up but the sole thing that will carve out a champion is who
is ready to sweat more and in this world, only and only this thing count. See,
there are millions of people vying for the same things. Everybody just wants to
be on the top, nobody wants to be unsuccessful and impoverished. We all want to
live with the best luxuries available in the world and here comes the time when results have to be decided.
Not everybody can get everything because not everybody is ready to risk everything. Most people just leave things when they become tired, they leave things when they have to party, they abandon things when they don’t want to wake up earlier than anybody else, they leave things when they have a better option of spending the day with friends, families and hence most of these people go nowhere. While on the other hand, there are a few handful of people who continue even when they are hurt, who don’t leave things just because they are not having a good day, they continue on things despite of being hurt, injured or bruised; they continue notwithstanding so many failures, they continue despite of having plethora of debacles, they continue in spite of all the slanderous things the world say to them, they carry on sans letting them be flummoxed by what others think about them, they continue despite of having lost their loved ones, they continue despite of having huge pain and depression in their lives, the continue even when the gloomy hoary clouds engulf them, they continue despite of having the worst cast of bad luck and they carry on until the last breath in their lungs.

So actually
there is a very serrated edge difference between the two. The first one forsake
everything when they feel tired but the second one start the stop watch when
they are out of their comfort zones and at last I needn’t mention who takes
away everything.
We all love great people, their passion, their style, their attitude, we try to emulate them in almost everything, but we just forget that there was a time when they were truly nothing. Nobody knew them, nobody cared for their existence and they had thousand of competitors. These people swore to change their destiny and they did. Behind their exceptional charismatic attitudes, there is a great penchant and proclivity for what these people do. When they do, what they are famous for, they are so much enthralled as if they are in another world, when they start doing the things they love, they don’t care what the people are doing, what the people are thinking about them; they just do their work.

I recently
studied about the greatest scientist ever born, Sir Isaac Newton. Most of us
believe that he was kind of a prodigy, who was just born to be great in
Physics and Mathematics and he just knew everything by birth and didn’t have to
work hard. Even I used to follow the suit, but after actually studying him I discovered
a shocking thing. Sir Isaac Newton used to study for more than 18 hours per
day. During his time at Cambridge, young boys were indulged in various kind of
immoral vices and hence to not let him become addicted to any such things, Sir
Issac Newton used to get himself locked in room and study at a stretch for more
than eighteen hours every day. Today, the whole world undermines his hard work
by considering him someone out of the world, but actually the truth is
different. He worked harder than anybody else and hence today is more famous
than any other scientist in the world. And this is, what separated him from the
world.
On the same
note, all the great people you know today, had a past when they were not great,
but they worked hard and got their way through. Today, they are great just
because they perspired more than anybody else. To sum up what I want to tell
you, at last I would just say
“You don’t have to be great to start,
but you have to start to be great.”
