I want to win

At times, I wonder whether it is as simple as that.

No jargons, no mathematics, no statistically proved data...no nonsense.

Just sit down and tell yourself that you want to succeed...AT ANY COST. That's it. There's something that needs to be done and you must do it. End of matter. Decide the 1 or 2 things that define your parameters of success, decide what it is that needs to be done...and then HUNT THOSE DAMN THINGS DOWN !!!!

I do not know why all of a sudden at 6 o' clock on a Monday morning (when I've been awake the whole night), I'm writing this down. All that I am trying to do is capture this moment...the moment that has perhaps let me know, how to achieve that which I want to achieve.

Pardon my inability to express it here in words. This is more of a personal milestone for this traveller. Hope you won't mind. And I of course, also hope, that someday, you too might finally achieve this milestone. Amen.

which's harder? defining parameters of success...or actually following the steps to achieve those parameters??

by the way....i did start reading swami vivekananda's life by swami nikhilananda....very captivating...especially the scene when swamiji swims to the rock in the middle of the indian ocean...ever an admirer of such tenacity and courage

She sent me this message, "what the mind can concieve and believe, it can achieve... especially so wen u have ur heart in it!"

deepdiver: Well, in my idea, it is defining the paramaters of success which is usually more difficult. It is like first deciding which direction to run in and then, once that's decided, to RUN LIKE HELL..

ani: :) No matter what, always have the twinkle that you have in ur eyes.
