Commitment and Compassion is Vital to Success A person full of commitment is a glittering jewel. She/he is a heartthrob for his colleagues. She/he is an inspiration for the less energetic and a constant prod for the lazy and the lethargic.
Commitment is the complete devotion you have towards anything you do, kindled by a strong motivation and interest in the deep cave of your heart.Nothing great has ever been achieved by any individual without enthusiasm and interest. To generate enthusiasm, one requires deep interest, involvement and commitment towards whatever she/he wishes or desires to achieve.Today the world simply admires and opens its way to anyone who is found girded with commitment and enthusiasm. The rise of Dhirubhai Ambani from scratch, the soaring of Manoj Bajpai in Bollywood, the achievement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi , the surpassing love of Mother Teresa , the success story of Sachin Tendulkar , and above all, the Presidential ascension of Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam are but precise feats of those who proved the world that committed people have no option but success.They made mistakes but mistakes and failures never mesmerised them. They stood to the end with unwavering faith and commitment. Difficulties and disappointments never corroded their steely commitment to accomplish ! If he/she could do that, why can’t you and I? Success is guaranteed if you have the passion to plunge in, commitment to cruise over and faith enough to fly on.Rotary thrives today only because of men and women committed to service. At the heart of every service, there is commitment. Commitment is vital to the success of any service project. Rotarians commit to others, to Rotarians, to leadership and to the community. They thus commit to God. They commit to their dreams. There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it when it is convenient. When you are committed, you accept no excuses — you only want results.There is a story of a great ruler, who ruled his kingdom with love and compassion. He knew that many of the people were in need — in need of money, love, health, prosperity and education. When he became old, he selected a second-in-command to help him manage the kingdom. He took him outside to a balcony of the palace that gave a majestic view of the land under his jurisdiction. The second-in-command asked “Sir, what must be the most vital attribute that I should possess to carry out your wishes?” “Son,” the king replied, “There are only two things you should have. You should have commitment and compassion.”
