-- Right Path, the way to Success –Success is not achieving a set target but to move on a right path to achieve the target. So to be successful in life, set a goal and try to achieve it tracking a Right Path. In other words you have to, first, find out the Right Path to move on to SUCCESS. Set clear cut and measurable goals taking advice from seniors and those who bother for your well being. Proceed towards those goals, following the Right Path, with full strength and energy without being crippled by hardships. Be ready to take risks and to embrace errors. With courage and creativity, keep marching on the chosen path hoping to achieve the set goal. In this age of cut throat competition, sometimes we are tempted to adopt a short cut which might even be a wrong path, to achieve the set goal ahead of others. Important is to follow a Right Path, no matter how long you have to go, in achieving the set goals. Would you call a person, who achieves his set goals, following a wrong path, Successful? Much, much more weightage must be given to ‘How the goal is achieved’

than ‘What the achieved goal is’. Treading a Right Path, leading to success, requires determination and perseverance. But nothing is impossible. Be courageous, positive and above all optimistic and you will surely lead and succeed. Always remember the words of Longfellow-“The heights by great men reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight But they while their companions slept,were toiling upward in the night.”
