Winners
make laws. Losers follow them.
We are
familiar with the dictum that history is written by the victors. History is
always ‘his story’ the story of the winner. History is not always a record of
the truth. It is a story narrated as seen by the narrator. The narrator wishes his
successor to remember the events in a particular way as sees them. Hence
history is not always an objective record; it is often subjective recordings
endorsed by the government of a nation. Recorded history of the same event
endorsed by a nation is different from that endorsed by another nation.
Victors
write history. Victors make laws. Victors change history and laws. Victors
change the world.
And the
victims and the losers follow them.
The world
accepts nothing from a loser. The only lesson he passes to others is not to
follow his paths. No memorials are made to him. No poetry is written for him.
No days are separated for him.
Jesus is
still worshiped because he was a winner. He knew the secret power of success.
His disciples understood the power of success in changing the world. So St.
Paul advised Christians to live a triumphant life. Jesus would not have
influenced the world so much if His life story ended with the cross. It went
beyond the cross to the grave and to resurrection. The story did not end there
too. It continued through his disciples conquering people. The life story of
Jesus continues. It is a story of success.
I mean,
only winners make history. Victims follow them.
Why a
follower? Why can’t we be winners and create or change history?
Henry Ford
did it. Bill Gates is doing it. Steve Jobs did it. Tata did it. Gandhiji did
it. The Uncle Sam of USA, the poor butcher added a chapter to history.
Great men
are born ordinary. Great men are created by their success in life. Success is a
choice not a gift of fate. In fact, we all are born to be winners. There is no
god or any supernatural power that wishes us to live a failure. We are placed
in this world to conquer. Nobody is working against you stopping your journey
to success. Success is only a matter of choice.
Decide. Arise.
Walk towards success. Be a winner.
Do not be
a follower, but be a leader.
