As i begin to write this blog on hard work .. first thing that strikes me is the cleashade line that everyone says in an interview, trying to create impression i.e - I don't believe in hard work, but smart work. I am amused, whenever i hear this line.. clear cut copy paste.
Coming back to the topic ..
I think, working hard is a passion. It is not something that some one can bestow on you. I see some people who are "ok" with everything they have in life and have no urge to be better in life than they are, then their are are some who want to be better but don't want to work hard. Very senseless for me.
For me, it is very simple - to be SRK, look at the hard work that has gone behind being SRK .. and unless you can't afford similar hard work .. please excuse...
I have tried to categorize in heads as to why working hard is as tough as it is said to be ..
Desire and Lifestyle
Having born and brought in a metro city, i have always seen people in a rush .. eyes open in morning with thought of a pending job that might screw things, continued by rushing to work for which we are always late and spending entire day to earn enough to feed our never ending desire .. and ending the day with multiple thoughts of how things are, what could have been done etc etc
By the time i grew up and joined this lifestyle, i was sure of the fact that their is no escape .. neither on the desires side nor on working hard for it unless you fall for wrong ways.
Desire is the only fuel that keeps the vehicle called "hard work" running forever.
Goals
Going for the right ways, your goals should be very very clear in life and one thing is for certain, one man in one life can not attain everything unless destined and even if destined... you will still have to work hard for it :)
Once you have set goals in life ... hard work becomes a cake walk because you know these goals are what you live for, work everyday and i am sure you wont like to betray your goals, they are your babies, you will have to hold their finger .. make them walk ... help them grow up and feel blessed once you achieve them.
Now, one thing that you might be thinking is ... Goals and Desires are virtually the same.. why did i distinguished between them. Answer is, for me they are very different things - Goals are something you work everyday for .. could be your career objective or whatever. Desires are those never ending wants of accessories in life .. a car like honda city, once u get it .. then a car like accord .. then audi ..and you end but list never ends.
Idols
Another thing that works for me are my idols in life .. My first and most inspirational idols - my parents and like mine your first idols will and should also be your parents, they leave no stone unturned in making us a capable, worthy and dedicated person in life.
I then draw my inspiration to work hard from Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) .. a man who had no godfather in his profession, his marriage was no supported by her parents, he had no parents and despite all odds stacked against him, he did everything he could and god rewarded him with everything he could.
He is perfect example of a man to defies my statement - one person can not achieve everything in one life. with millions of fans and thousands of critics ... he s done everything from movies to dancing on birthday parties .. to feed his desires. From owing a cycle to travelling by a chartered plane.. How can he not be an inspiration?
From Roger Federer i take the fact that how humble in life you can be despite being the god of tennis and when everybody had written him off .. he broke back everyone's words to be world numero uno once again. Having been at top for most number of weeks, the desire to still be at top is worth inculcating.
I have few more idols and can go on and on ...
Would like to conclude by saying, live for you dream and make every breath count. One life, make it count !
