Do We Know.....???

All of us want to be successful. But question is that if we know what is success. Do we know what we have to do? I remember audition of a TV series in which the judges were asking what do you want to be in life. Most of the participants answered that I want to do something big but they failed to describe what big thing,they want to do and how they are going to achieve this big thing. That's the way this is with most people. Actually we don't know what we want to do and what we have to do.

One day one of my senior said me-"Do you know why we feel so much pressure here(it means IIT KGP)?". I really couldn't answer. Then he said simply that problem is in us. Actually we don't know what we want from our future.So we believe simply on what other people say & do what other people do and finally at a point in life we regret that we have chosen wrong path. If anyone knows from the very 1st year(he means the 1st yr of one's academic life in KGP) that what he has to do then he will never feel pressure because then he will be knowing what he has to do & what not. He said that I am still confused what I have to do so I try here every thing.

I think what he said in perspective of our life at KGP, is also true in general. I think in place of just thinking to be successful we should think what we can do and what we should do. Only then we will be able to understand what is success.Only then we can decide our path to success. Otherwise we will just wander here and there and will copy others in search of success. And finally in which we will just get an unsuccessful life.All of us want to be successful. But question is that if we know what is success. Do we know what we have to do?
