Dropped Out? So What!
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. ~ Albert Einstein
Academically how rich you are? Dropped out or not enough to be excited? If yes, so what! Still you have the potential to be something significant … something influential, like:
Benjamin Franklin: One of the founders of The United States of America; co-author and co-signer of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. You name it, what he wasn’t: polymath, printer, satirist, political theorist, politician, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, soldier, and diplomat.
You Ain’t A Failure; You Just Failed At Something
There are two ways we can tag failure in our life. First: “I’m a failure!” Second: “I failed at something!”
When we say, “I am a failure,” it indicates: “I’m the reason of this … it’s all because of me.” But when we say, “I failed at something,” it indicates: “It’s not me … it’s my action that fails. It’s not me!”
We all have failed many times although we mayn’t remember. We fell down the first time we tried to walk or ride a bi-cycle. We almost drowned when the first time we tried to swim, didn’t you?
Just think, did you hit a sixer the first time you swung the cricket bat? Forget about yourself, think about the following cricket greats.

Nothing more than what you see
Or what you’ve done or will become
Standing strong do you belong
In your skin; just wondering

Okay, I’m giving you the answer.
You force yourself not to go for your dream because you know—life is never easy for those who dream. It’ll knock you down; push you back and make you the reason to be laughed for.
Then your inner-voice whispers to you, “Better, don’t try.”
THE ATTITUDE
You know dear, there is a formula:
C + R = O
(CHALLENGE + RESPONSE = OUTCOME)
Tough Times! Huh, How Tough They Are?
Picture this!! You are just eight and only for 20 dollars, you are singing in local clubs because there is often a shortage of food and money in your household. Yes, it is when you are just eight.
When you reach the age 13, your family has lost their home and for the shelter, you are spending your nights under the tress with your mother and other siblings. Added to your trauma, before you reach 20, you find that you have lost your parents. Then to take care of your siblings, you start working as a sales-girl in McDonald’s.
Now tell me, from there, how far you can visualize yourself – how far? You know the answer. But Shania Twain, from there, raised herself to the Grammy winning singer-songwriter. Read the rest of this entry »
