Success = Slow & Steady progress


I would like to share a story which depicts the fact that "Being in a hurry to reach your goals will double the time actually required by a person to achieve it"...

A martial arts student went to his teacher and said earnestly, “I am devoted to studying your martial system. How long will it take me to master it.”
The teacher’s reply was casual, “Ten years.”
 Impatiently, the student answered, “But I want to master it faster than that. I will work very hard. I will practice everyday, ten or more hours a day if I have to. How long will it take then?”
The teacher thought for a moment, “20 years.” 😀

We all know the story of "The hare and the tortoise" and have learnt that only slow but steady wins the race. 🐢🐇
But we never follow this rule and always start with full of energy and extreme speed to achieve something and end up without any perfection and remain unsatisfied and this becomes the reason for us to start again from the scrap.. 😔
And then we sit and complain about our luck, fate, time etc.. 😔
In reality,none of them are the culprits its only we and our hurriness to achieve everything within a short span of time makes us an imperfect person.. 😟
In this beautiful world,time is fixed for each and everything...
A tree can never give fruits before its blossoming time.. 🌳
It takes 9 months for a baby to come in this world.. 👧

Same way there is a specific time to learn achieve and succeed... 🕑👍
Not giving sufficient time and space to anything can only lead to stress, failure, anxiety, depression etc... 😡😩👎
Remember that the two most powerful warriors are patience and time. 😊🕑
The secret to success is slow but steady progress toward one's personal goals.. :)

Two Children, Two Journeys

Two children can walk through similar difficulties—and yet grow into very different people. Let’s look at the story of two children. The Child Who Was Held A child was happily walking beside his mother when he suddenly stumbled over a stone and fell. Tears immediately rolled down his cheeks. His mother gently lifted him, wiped his tears, cleaned his wound, and whispered, "It’s nothing, my dear. Just a small wound. You’re safe." Wrapped in her arms, the child slowly calmed down. He learned that when he falls, someone will be there to comfort him. When he is hurt, someone will help him heal. When he is afraid, there will be arms to hold him. And when he needs help, he can ask for it. His world taught him trust, security, and the warmth of love. The Child Who Had to Stand Alone On another road, another child was walking alone. He, too, stumbled over a stone and fell. He looked around. There was no hand reaching out to lift him. No familiar voice asking, "Are you hurt?"...

Karma - A Path to Our Deeds

Our life is revolving around some kind of energy between the cycle of birth and death.  One thing needs to be understood very clearly: Birth is not the beginning - Death is never the end.  We all are connected spiritually and we name that energy as God. It really makes me wonder that people all over the world believe in God, only what differs is the name and religion from place to place like Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Sikhism etc. Somewhere all these religions teach us to do good Karma.  In every country there are certain rules and regulations that one must follow and on not abiding, the person may face legal consequences. Countries impose law and order to provide security and justice for all their citizens and also to maintain peace. Similarly "Karma" - Karma is a law that one needs to follow in spiritual world to achieve that inner peace in one's life. Karma is closely related to your action. It means each and every action combined with your inten...

Rolling the Dice of Life — Every Move Matters

Life is often compared to a journey, but sometimes it feels more like a game of snakes and ladders. Each day, we roll the dice of time, never knowing what number will appear or where it will take us. One moment, you’re climbing a ladder — opportunities open up, joy fills your heart, and you feel unstoppable. The next moment, a snake bite pulls you down — setbacks, disappointments, and struggles remind you that the path is never straight. Yet, the beauty of the game lies in its unpredictability. You can’t control the dice, but every roll is a chance, every move is progress, and every setback is temporary. A snake bite may feel like failure, but it often teaches resilience. A ladder may feel like luck, but it rewards persistence. The dice may seem random, but your endless effort to keep rolling ensures you move forward. In life too, the rule is simple: keep moving with faith. Do not give up, no matter how many snakes cross your path. The next roll may bring a surprise — perhaps a ladder...
