There is a "Solution" to every problem

There is a solution to every problem which comes before you. It is just that you have to be moving continuously like a hurdle high jumper keeps running and overcomes all the hurdles which come his way.

The story iam writing today is that of a boy who always told his father that one day , he will be the richest man ever. The boy was a scholar and kept being a scholar all his life.
                                                                                                    Days passed , months passed and years later , even after struggling for years , he felt he is still standing at the same place where he started 15 years back.
       He took break from his job and professional life. He started spending time with his wife and family and life became peaceful and happy for him.
                                                           He enjoyed this life for quite sometime and realized that he might be making a lot of mistakes , that all his schoolmates, college mates , university classmates and even previuos compnay employees have reached positions of Vice Presidents and AVP's or to say it in other words at an accompalished level. He again thought he should again try for being like them.
                                                                                                                   But then he again thought, why not do a SWOT(Strenghth,weakness,opportunity,threats) analysis on himself. That day he started thinking.
                                                                      He pondered for days, months and years and managed his life , personal and professional life in such a way that he was able to meet his ends, though the debts were increasing with every passing day, but he did not lose sight of being successful one day.
                                                                                                                                  From being the richest man to being successful , was because 15 years of struggle had made him realize that it was not important to be the richest butvto be the happiest.
                                                                         He started searching for happiness. He searched for happiness. He searched happiness inside and outside of himself. He searched happiness insie and outside of others. He searched happiness in animate and inanimate things, but to his dismay , he was a failure.
                                                                                                                                                   His wife of 4 years and girlfriend for 9 years, continuously convinced him that we should live a happy life than a very luxurious life. But he was, now a Man, who had started believeing in making his life on his own, so he still did not understand that philosophy.
                                                   Becasue he bleived in a simple philosophy that, if he himself is not happy , then how can he keep anyone else happy, so he was selfish there.
                                                                                                 He failed, failed and again failed......
In his complete life starting from the raw age of 16.5 years, when he first boarded Goa Express from NDLS stattion to Naval academy to 2012, he had failed about 23 times in his professional life to become successful and happy.
                He sold mosquito vibrators, he taught tuitions, he ran his own coaching institute, he sold travel packages, he sold cars, he sold banking products both assets and liabilities, he sold life insurance, he sold mutual bonds, he sold government bonds, he sold through a networking company video e-mails, he sold a software similar to flipkart.com, he sold wealth management, he sold PMS, he tried earning through google ads, through amazon, he tried blogging, he created a venture on financial planning, he became a financial planner, he became a trainer for corporates , he did consulting and created business for others, he did cost benefit analysis, and then moved in as a trainer in a real estate company and he knows now, he has found the happiness he has been seeking. He is now ready for the next level or even the highest level in an organization.
                   He has still got a lot of aspirations and dreams unfulfilled and now he is not alone he knows that, because the relationships which he has created over these 17 years now, are with him.
Thanks a lot friends and foes.....
