Success breeds Success (The Sentinel-Saturday Fare, Teen Scene)

Hard work brings success and success brings fame. Success is something which every individual strikes to achieve but only a few succeed in achieving it.
The road to Success is full of trials and tribulations. One has to face meny stumbling blocks in order to achieve Success. It is said that diligence is the mother of good luck. So we should not hesitate to take up the gauntlet if we want to succeed in our respective domain.
In order to taste success one needs to possess a lot of patience. Patience, hoever painful in the beginning, brings happiness in the end. The fruits of Patience are always sweet.
It can't be gainsaid that success is a very lengthy process which calls for a lot of spadework & one might come across many failures in the midst of one's journey towards success. But one should not forget that failures are the pillars of success. So one should undertake the journey towards Success without losing heart.
Success is something that cannot be bought. many a time, people adapt unfair means in order to achieve Success but their success is a nine-day wonder.
Again, there are some people who in the fear of facing obstacles & hurdles of life surrender themselves to their fate. Consequently their dream of achieving Success gets nipped in the bud. Confucius has rightly remarked, "To see what is right , & not to do it is want of courage."Most people hesitate to accept the challenges of life.The sole reason for this is that they lack self-confidence. Moreover, they are ignorant about the hidden potential that lies within them.Such people should learn to discover their hidden potential instead of underestimating themselves.
The journey towards success is an unending one. The more one achieves, the more one wants it. Success has no limits.It is said that Success breeds Success in life. One needs to have a resolute will, dedication, devotion, determination and above all, one must be disciplined.Moreover, one should be punctual as well as sincere. At the same time, one should be honest because success achieved through dishonest means brings about one's downfall and it also tarnishes one's image in society.
If we cultivate these qualities in us, nothing can stop us from reaching the peak of success. We must first desire for it. It is said, "As we sow, so we reap." Unless we sow the seeds of success, we cannot reap the fruits of actions undone. So we must perform our duties sincerely if we are to succeed in life.
We can repair our destiny, our fate by our own labour.One has to think big and high to succeed in life. Great scholars say that success and happiness go hand in hand. Success is getting what we want and happiness is wanting what we get.
