nothing tastes better than success

The time is 0111 hrs, 5^th day of January 2011. The drinking session is over and I am back to my room rather my bed. I am not able to sleep. I ask myself who I am and what I have achieved in my short span of life as on date. I ask a few questions to myself. Am I famous? Do people apart from my friends and family know that I exist? Have I earned a lot of money? Have I become what I want? ……..a few more trivial questions come to my mind. The alcohol has taken over my mind and I am trying to think. I may have excelled academically but professionally I have still lot to do. The dream of becoming a civil servant is still far. I don’t have to be content with my performance. There is always a scope of improvement….loops to plug in. I have to be ready to take my little successes in a stride and be prepared for more. The hunger to excel should not let me sleep but still I am sleeping for more than 10 hours a day. Have I lost it, the desire to fight continuously?  Am I becoming casual? I have still not cleared the toughest exam of this country. One result in March and I may be again standing where I began. I don’t have to lose hope but I have to be prepared for the worst. Every day is important. Use every minute to get close to your goal. Nothing can take you back if you have made up your mind. Give your best…that’s all you can do. Rest is your luck. I know it pays a little part in your success but it can never compensate for you hard work. Remember nothings tastes better than success
