Hard work perhaps can be rated as the best personality trait of a person’s attributes. There can be no substitute for hard work. I believe in hard work. I love hard working people. People will always respect and love hard working persons.

My question now is whether all hard working people succeed in life?
On the other hand, do all lazy people fail in life?
The answer is” No”.

Similarly, I have some more questions. Do all the intelligent people come up in life?
Alternatively, do all dull persons fail in life?

Again, the answer is a big “NO”.

There is a saying “success is from 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

It is obvious that we need intelligence and hard work for success in life.
Nevertheless, there is one more very important factor, which helps you be successful. That is your destiny.



You may call it as destiny or God’s blessing. I strongly believe without God’s blessing we cannot go anywhere near success.

I want to make myself clear to my readers that I do believe in hard work as you do. At the same time, I believe that hard work alone cannot gift you success. We need the favorable gift of Destiny, hard work and intelligence to travel the road of success. The simple arithmetic formula is:

Favorable destiny+ hard work +intelligence= Success

Once, there was a fisherman who lived in a small village close to a big river, where he used to fish every morning. As usual he went to the river one day, very early in the morning, much before dawn (he did not have a watch to know the time). Sitting on a rock, he waited for the sun to rise to start his day fishing. Moving his feet around, to get comfortable, he felt something at his feet. Still in darkness, it felt as though it was a bag with some heavy stones inside.

To while away his time, he started to throw those stones one by one, deep into the river and listened to the sound of water while it bounced. Just as there was one stone left, the rising sun spread its light on the place and it amazed him to see that last stone was in actual fact a very precious gem.

He did not realize the value of the gift God gave him until it was almost too late. Unfortunately for him he was not able to see those stones in the darkness. Would he have thrown them had he know the value of those precious stones? He was able to realize the value of his lost fortune only when the sun shone on the last stone bringing out its brilliance.




Similarly, life is a gift given to us by God. We live our lives in the darkness of ignorance, and never care to open the gifts that are given to us. Some people open their gifts when it is almost too late. It is then they see the light of wisdom, and realize the love of God, and the purpose of life.

We should always endeavor to open the gifts bestowed on us by God as early as possible in life. We can learn to enjoy life to the fullest afterwards.


Life is to enjoy, savor it

Not for getting tired


Life is a gift

If you could realize it and enjoy it.
