SUCCESS

“Success lies not in the result but in the Effort….of appreciating and being grateful to all those who made an effort for us to succeed to our goals”.“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” My daughter asked me today to style her hair, I am not a professional hair stylist, but I took the pair of scissors and started to style her hair, abruptly I heard her saying -"Oh! no not this way." I stopped what I was doing and told her since she does not have faith in me, she better do it herself. After sometime she realised, that I was doing the right thing and can not do it herself, nor she has no enough money to pay to the hair dressing salon. she came back to me and apologised, Firstly for not trusting me, for not appreciating what I was doing for her. I accepted her apologies but for next she should try and remember the key word "THANK YOU", "I TRUST YOU AND I APPRECIATE FOR YOUR TIME". When I finished doing her hair that looked amazing, she felt good and said "Thank you mom, it looks great, you are so talented" which made me feel good. “I would repeatedly say, that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” Then I took her for coffee and along with my coffee drink shared few words of wisdom with her.The six most important words: (I admit I made a mistake). The five most important words: (You did a great job). The four most important words: (What is YOUR opinion?) The three most important words: (If you please.) The two most important words: (Thank You.) The one most important word: (We.) The least important word: (I) after listening to these words of wisdom she thanked me and said she would share them with her other friends, because it is hard to have someone in life, who can take time or make an effort even to guide you, listen to you or to help you. Therefore I thought of sharing these key words to success.
God gives us sustenance every seconds of our life. How many times have we said “thank you GOD", If we can not thank our creator-GOD, we can never thank anyone. This universe is constantly obliging us is taken for granted, we do not appreciate all the goodness it has for us. People do favors and help each other, but the recepient forgets to appreciate and be grateful for all those favors. Then soon they are struck by misfortune and become a failure. Their arrogance make them forget to say the keywords -"Oh it was great thank you", "I loved it thank you", I thank you for everything you have done for me. I find that the more willing I am to be grateful for the small things that life gives me, the bigger stuff just seems to show up from unexpected sources. I am constantly looking forward to each day with all the surprises that keeps coming my way!. I want the same for you all My friends, who will read this and understand what I have to share in this blog.
