It was eight in evening..............
And I was watching a movie, when one of our neighbor, let`s call him uncle came, It was totally an uncalled interruption but as a fantastic human being as i am(I am confused, why people doubt it ......). I welcomed him....
"Hi!! Ashish" uncle said.
For an unknown reason to me ,he always has a ever green smile on his face. For an old man of his age this is remarkable, as he is near to the final destination.
'Hi!!" i replied with a grin.
"you know, your progress is remarkable, you are a fantastic human being"
Oh....... his complements came as fresh air with smell of sweetness.
"Thank you" i became enthusiastic, i was moved.Now to me he suddenly became a man of interest.
"There is one thing which i want to tell you from so long" he spoke slowly" Today, is the day i believe,i should tell you"
This was something surprising, as from the very childhood, we have heard he never like talking.
"O.K, so what`s that" i suddenly became James bond,suspicious and ready for everything, come what may.
"You motivate people. Am i right?" he said.I was confused whether he was asking or telling.
But then also i had to say some thing, "Yes" i said.
"Can you do me a favor" he asked, "now he is coming to the point, he will ask for money"i told myself not to lend more money to people,as every penny which ever left my pocket, lost its way in between and never returned.
'Just share. What i am going to tell you next,with the young guns whom you train" he requested.
I said " Go on......"
"You see,Everybody is starving for success today but They must understand the important thing about success" When he was saying these lines, there was a sense of secrecy in his voice as if he was reveling the hidden secret of King Akbar.
I was curious, i went near to him ,"Distance shouldn't be the barrier between the secret and me" i thought.
"Tell them, its my humble request, The truth which life taught me in my entire 80 years". he started speaking.
For me, It was like, God gave me a good chance to be the first one to know the most important secret about success.
"success is a moving target" he declared, his tone was firm," when you are a kid, just to reach up to a box and find sweets hidden by your mother notes your success, As a teenager, you want to take admission in good college so getting good grade becomes success" As he was speaking,My childhood memory started flashing in my mind.
"Then you grow up, your priorities change, And establishing a good carrier become a pointer of being successful" his eyes were closed, it seemed he was lost in his memories.But he continued
"Our ideas of success change as we grow in our lives, in our carriers, And the biggest irony is that, when we achieve what we thought was a real success at one time, we even don`t stop to celebrate it and instead long for another target"
"The real joy is not in achieving a milestone or becoming successful, it is in celebrating each moment of life`s journey. As success is not a destination it is the Path"
