Quite often we come across many interviews of such celebrities who have been successful in their respective fields. Mostly they are asked the similar question of how they have got through the path of success. The most likely answers are that they had been dreaming to be this since they were young and they always knew what they would be when they grow up.
I am not denying anything that they say but it always makes me wonder how does a child know what he has to be when he grows? Our interests generally keep changing with our age. P.S. Some special exceptions are always there who are guided so perfectly by their parents or mentors and they follow the track already designed for them by others. Their success rate is 100% mostly. That's basically because attaining expertise in any field at least requires half of your life! So by the day they reach a considerable age, they know where they stand.
But what about people like us who are brought up in the most normal and simple means, without any guiding mentors or any other kind of sign boards? Of course life teaches us the most lessons and with time we learn whats best for us. Life is the best teacher and we know we could fall, get hurt but success comes only to those who get up and walk again!
In my case I never believe in giving up! I tried whatever was in my means and explored every sphere in that field to know what I can do about it, starting with teaching to stepping onto more innovations in the field with corporate training and personality enhancement programs, then child mentoring and finally trying my hand into writing. I sometimes ask myself where this would stop and will I ever find my 'true love' in anything and finally decide to do it for the rest of my life?
The answer is yet to be revealed by destiny, but for the time being, being an author and a blogger has been rewarding and appreciative so far (and so did my jobs!). But if I am asked what would be my strategy to attain success, then my answer is that I am a learner and each sphere has taught me to grow and be better in my field. If this is not my paycheck then, I need to go farther till the satisfaction is what I receive!!
