When the whole world is praising you for your achievements, go to your mirror in your bedroom, look straight into the eyes of the man in the mirror and asks him, “What do you feel about these?”
His
answer is worthy than the whole world’s applause. His answer is more sincere,
for he is not a flatterer. He knows who you are. Nothing about you is hidden to
him. He makes no mistake about you.
His
applause is more important than any else in this world. He knows how you
reached here. What struggles you faced; what animosity you overcame; how many
times you were defeated; what really pushed you forward etc. ….
The
world sees you as an achiever; the man in the mirror knows that you are
successful fighter.
It
is fighting with all your might that has put you here on the top of the ladder.
It is not luck, it is not fate, it is not a gift of any godfathers, but it is
only perspiration that made this success possible. Who knows this better than
the man in the mirror?
But
some are not happy to look at this man, because he is a constant remembrance of
your past days. Some like to bury their past with the glory of the present. It
is dangerous, as it may lead to mishandling success. It is more important to remain
at the top than to reach there.
Success
should not be a momentary joy, but a permanent condition.
It
is like a mountain you have conquered to keep it for life. If it is to climb
down, why should we take all these hardships to climb up? The valley was cool
and comfort. But we left it to climb up to conquer and live there.
A
mismanaged success is worse than a defeat.
The
man in the mirror helps you to manage success properly. Struggles and trials in
the past must not be forgotten. More struggles and perspiration are needed to remain
at the top of the ladder.
Some
others dislike the man in the mirror. They know that there is a man in their
bed room mirror. He is more truthful than them. He never tells lies. And so
they cannot look straight into his eyes. There is no applause in his eyes for them,
there is only rebuke. He reminds them of the crooked ways they have climbed through
to the top. He reveals the worthlessness of unmerited victory.
Success
is success only when we earn it with a merit. All others are manipulated events
of success. It is will not better their life.
Only
true success that is the fruit of perspiration tastes sweet. All others are
dross.
The
man in the mirror will look at their face and shout “you are deceiver not a
victor”.
The
applause of the man in the mirror is more worthy than the praise of the whole
world. Always we must have the righteousness to look straight into his eyes and
ask, ‘what do you think of all these?”
I
hope for all of you that his answer always will be, “Great, well done, go on.”
