One Last T!me

#OneLastTime #NoFear #Failuresarenothing #Nevergiveup #Success #Trysmarter #Youareadifferentyou

Everybody had failed in this world. Abraham Lincoln had failed, Charlie Chaplin had failed, Microsoft had failed, Ratan Tata had failed, Roger Federer had failed, Nations had failed, even I had read stories (in some faith) that the mythological-Gods had failed. Meaning, Failing is natural and Failure is inevitable. But the bolder-and-bigger truth is, Success is sure after it and we need to realize it. To taste the success, fight not just till the last battle of the war, but till the last drop of your blood, in the war. Everyone faces a dead-end and I and you are not just the only ones who face it in the world. Dead-end is not the circumstance around you, it is just your perception around you. Dead-end gives me only two options, one, a  louder-message to try ONE LAST TIME and two, an even-louder message to try ONE MORE-ONE LAST TIME!

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” – Thomas Alva Edison

Scientifically it is proven that you are a DIFFERENT-YOU, when you are aware of your conditions that it is your fair-final chance, and it is your “One Last Time”,

-         You see things differently

-         You fight differently

-         Your valor is higher

-         Your confidence is stronger

-         Your adrenaline/cortisone secretions are different

-         Your perception is different, positively it is a zero-failure mode

-         You are a DIFFERENT-YOU!

Because, you knew both by your conscious mind and by your sub-conscious mind that it is “One Last Time”.

It was a foggy morning, I was talking to a successful entrepreneur. At first look he is quite charismatic and a happy gentleman. He is the reason for at least, a 1000 family to live happily. As we got deeper in conversation, he opened up a story which was hard to digest but factually I need to accept. He started that for building a decade of successful entrepreneurship he had spent more than 3 decades with pain and perseverance. I casually accepted this and nothing was quite inspiring about it, though I respected his dream and the turmoil for it.  He moved on saying there was a time when he and his family decided to end their life after his first bankruptcy. But by choice they stopped the plan. It wasn’t intelligence neither intuition that stopped this decision but his son was scared to die and did not agree to the plan. An emotional parent gave up the suicidal plan and he increased his effort and tried different strategies. But life showed no mercy on him. His second attempt also failed and this time even bigger. He had to end up with heavier loans. But this time the family decided to fight back. It is at this point in the conversation I sensed a material of inspiration. I stopped him and asked a flat and a blunt question right on his face, “Why wasn’t a suicidal plan not the option and how did they derive the courage?” How cruel I am, isn’t it! He laughed out loud and said pain is a relative entity and they understood this, by then. For some, even an injection shot is painful, for some even a dialysis is just yet another day’s routine. Just like a Stockholm syndrome, once you are acclimatized to pain, you will start to learn to live with it and honestly it wasn’t it painful. Coming to the story again, giving up his dream, he was forced to work as a private sector employee and his wife also supported him financially by working part time in a school. They had to cut-off not just the luxury budget of their lifestyle but even the mandatory basic needs. Ate food one time a day and saved it for their son to eat three times a day. Destiny tested his patience and perseverance. He was fired from his job as he wasn’t able to withstand a bad political climate in the company. The family sensed they were in a DEAD-END! But the fact is that behind the dead-end is the mystery-path which will open up the doors of success, but only for the brave and for the passionate! His wife asked him, why don’t we try our business opportunity ONE LAST TIME!

This time, our hero got back to business. Futuristic strategies, calculated risks and adaptive operational model were the key for this last spell, smiles the CEO. Everyone of us love success, everyone one of us need an even-chance to prove one’s self, every one of us deserve happiness. Isn’t it. If you are delighted that his time has come and the hero was born, hold-on. This time it was even tougher because in the bottom of his heart, a thought resonates along his heartbeat that it is his LAST CHANCE which naturally adds up stress. Now came the real challenge that he fell short of a fraction of his capital. He had to legally abide by the regulations and sell one of his organs. When I heard this, a drop of tear said to me that I am still human. How many of us have the courage to do, atleast I wouldn’t dare it. Indomitable Spirit and faith changed the time and tide in his favor and in time, his profit percentage steadily accelerated and the rest is history.

ONE LAST TIME… These are not just words, it makes a transformation, physically, mentally and emotionally. It pumps the adrenaline and gives the needed escape-velocity. Under normal conditions one doesn’t feel the need to shell-out his birth. Even the chick breaks out its shell only when the inside-pressure cannot be held any further. All extreme conditions are not bad, they are the catalysts , they are the channel to transformation.

When you call it done,

When you sense you are in dead-end,

When you feel you are not worth it,

When you understand the conditions are not favoring you,

When you fail in all your attempts,

When the world criticizes you,

When you are betrayed by your inner circle,

When no one else believe you,

When you feel deserted living amidst a million people,

When you feel no future,

Give yourself a ONE LAST TIME… Actually, life starts after this point. Conceive faith in yourself and Be brave, be patient and be intelligent, your destiny will come towards you.

Believe it and Try it or Try it and Believe it!

There is NO Dead-end to life, there is always ONE LAST TIME!

“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up”. – Thomas Alva Edison
