A note to self

    Self Confidence is the key to success

            If you consider someone happy and successful, then closely study the course of his life. If possible, ask him directly- "Have you never encountered any problems in your life?' Then you will know that peace and prosperity have not been showered on him randomly from the sky. His life has been tested and tried by difficulties and  problems as yours is being tested now. When you realize this truth, again try to investigate "Who liberated him from that web of distress? Did any magician come and wave his magic wand and all his problems vanished? On exploring deeply, you will find that it is his self-confidence that has been mainly helpful in overcoming the problems. When all the near and dear ones had left him alone, it was this self-confidence that assured him that there was hope and inspired him to resolutely go on trying against all odds.
