Believe in Yourself
Some
college students once asked their professor who his role model was.
After
some moments, the professor replied, “The honey-bee!”
“You
must be joking, sir,” the students blurted out in one voice.
“No,
I am serious. The honey-bee is indeed my role model,” the professor said again,
and went on to elaborate.
“Scientists
say that as per aerodynamics, the honey-bee cannot fly; its wings are not
proportionate to the shape and size of its body. And so, scientifically it is
not possible for the bee to fly. But we all know that the bee flies ever so
effortlessly. It does not know the above fact, and is not conditioned by it.
The bee is aware of only one thing. It can, and is sure to, fly; and it does!
This is what I admire most in the bee; its firm belief in its ability to fly that
too in open defiance of science, if I may say so!”
It
is said that the first secret of success is to believe in oneself. Therefore,
firmly believe in yourself and your abilities. You are better than you think;
more talented than you know; braver and more capable than you imagine. Follow
your dreams, believe in yourselves, and don’t ever give up your efforts. Take
cue from this quote from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam: “Look at the sky. We are not
alone. The whole universe is friendly to us, and conspires only to give the best
to those who dream and work.”
