Very often we tend to blame the luck or even God for the misfortune that we encounter with. But as we look around not all are successful and not all are failure. It is said a positive mind bears a positive result. However, most of the time we fail to evaluate about the things that went wrong and to look into the brighter sight of it. Hopes and dreams are endless & countless so I personally don't have the tendency to worry of the rough weather of life.
For instance how will it be a day without night? A war without peace? A life without happiness? Hell without Heaven? To be more precise with, whatever happens in life it happens for a reason. It has its own specific purpose and we never know that purpose might be a turning point in someone's life.
Once there was a man who possessed everything he needed. In this life he was a happy and wealthy man. Until one fine day everything that he had and adored the most vanished into a thin air. He could do nothing but still he remained calm and steadfast. He never complained about the tragedy he met with but rather his faith in God remained firm and unshakable. Such was the faith of Job, his life is an example of how things can get worse and can also double the joy. I wonder had Job complained about his miseries the story could have taken a different turn.
As a matter of fact, there won't be a smoke without fire likewise our bad times must have something good wrap in it. Well, I personally don't intend to suggest people how to overcome the struggles of life and become a successful person in the society. Not at all but it is just my keen interest to discuss & have a clear conscious of what is what & what is not.
As compared to the past we are living in a world of science and technology. Even the lifestyle of human civilization in some way or the other has changed dramatically. But has it changed our perspective of thinking. How do I look at life? Is it just a matter of life and dead, success and failure? Or is it something else!! It is obvious that one may not look at life with the same perspective the other is looking at. Thoughts and ideas vary from person to person. We have differences but we do have some common interest in particular.
However, it is also the will and determination that differentiate an individual from the other. I need not exaggerate much on the very word "will" & "determination". But as we turn the page to the history of 'Russo-Japanese' war we are left with astonishment. The only thing that comes to my mind is how was it possible? May be they were too good at martial arts. Obviously that is not the reason, but whatever the reason may be the Japanese people has had rightly set an example of will and determination.
We can't always expect people to come looking for us, pushing, helping, suggesting to make every right move in our life. Sometimes we are left all alone as if like we are being pushed into some wilderness or into some deserted island. At that very moment you need to stand on your own.
You'll have to make a path by yourself so that your survival during that crucial time may prove worth. For some people it is hard to digest their very own existence and for some it is even worse. To which some try to figure out and come up with a better solution to live on and some end up blaming someone or the other for the misfortune in his/her life. Such is the nature of man and we cannot deny it. I might be talking irrelevantly but is it bad to think positively during our worse? Or are we just too tough enough to worsen it with all our bitter thoughts.
A man is best remembered not by the way he dresses or his possession of wealth, name or fame. He is best remembered by his words and deeds. Therefore as far as I'm concerned with I personally don't need to count my success and failures but the concept that I have about being myself both in good and crucial times. In every worse time of your life, you just need to have the courage and strength to stand on your own with new hope, faith and believe. This is it what I feel.
Here, I'm not putting into force the do's and don’ts in life neither am I trying to convince people to be sensible and reasonable. I'm just sharing my opinion from the practical point of view.
And in conclusion I just want to say that whatever happens in life there is always "The Good Sight in Bad"
