Road to Success

From the day I told everyone that I have resigned from my job, I am encountering with new experiences altogether. The first expression was "What??? When??" After inquiring about the reason, the expression was "I am glad that you have taken a good decision!"

Well now that everyone knows about this and that everyone has become a less curious about me, the life has started acting strangely with me. I never felt the urge to work more dedicatedly. Why is this happening?

Since I passed my Engineering, I was feeling the urge to succeed in life. I joined this organisation, tried to learn new things. Then as time was passing, I became very much irritated by the job I was doing. I was searching answers for how do I succeed in life? I came up with an answer "Do higher studies!"

I started preparing for Entrance tests. Appeared for few of them and got rejected. But still I believed that I will be succeeding. I still gave one last test. Are you thinking that I finally succeeded? You are wrong! I may have got good marks (or not so good marks) but still I was not satisfied.

After resigning, I started working harder so that I could learn as much as I can, from this organisation, thinking that this will help me in near future. But little did I know what was in stores for me.

One day when my co-workers and I were talking they said, "You are amongst 2-3 people who have made a mark in our lives and we will be talking about you for years to come." I was moved by this statement. I knew they weren't joking neither were they lying. That came straight from their heart.

From that day onwards, success meant very little to me. Indeed how foolish I was to run behind a relative term "success" It was that day I realised that its not success that should be important to us but its the Road to Success that should matter.

I haven't succeeded yet, but for me the journey will never end. I have already covered one milestone on the road to success. How many have you covered?
