I understand it does not matter how much I have, but what really matters is what I do with what I have.
Most people are a victim of a thinking disease which is, “I am not doing as well as I should. So what alibi I can use to save my face?” Poor health; lack of education; too old; too young; bad luck; fate; spouse; child abuse; upbringing; god…and the list is endless. At first this alibi is a lie but in frequently repeating it, it appears to be truth.
What was common in these great people – Charles Dickens, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Vincent Van Gogh and H.G.Wells? They all suffered from Epilepsy.
Being blind didn’t stop Stevie Wonder from winning the Grammy. Being short didn’t affect either Don Bradman or Sachin Tendulkar from imprinting their names in cricket history. Sarah Bernhardt, regarded as the greatest French actress was disabled by a knee injury, her leg amputated in 1914. She continued starring on stage until just before her death. Ludwig von Beethoven, one of the greatest symphony composers was deaf when he composed his 9th symphony. John Milton became blind at the age of 43 and yet went on to create his most famous epic, ‘Paradise Lost’. Helen Keller in spite of being blind, deaf and mute went on to write nearly a dozen books, travelled all over the world, and met 12 USA presidents.
Dhirubhai Ambani started with 15,000 rupees and N R Narayana Murthy with 10,000 rupees. Azim Premji turned ‘Western Indian Vegetable Products’, a small company dealing with cooking oil, into the rechristened WIPRO, which is globally renowned.
The message from the life of all these world movers is, “it does not matter how much I have, but what really matters is what I do with what I have.”
We cannot do much to change what we have, but we can certainly change the way we use what we have. Right attitude with everything else a little less will take us much further in life than a wrong attitude with enough of everything else. Stop underestimating yourself. Mind you – Your attitude is either your blessing or your barricade.
Less is less, only when you don’t show the inclination and enterprise to turn less into more. A pawn, if used well, will become the queen.
The fact is WE DON’T and not WE CAN’T!
