Never Say Never Again The beauty of life consists in the way one goes about doing things. Are you happy at the end of the day or week or month when you look back at what you have done during this time? You may say that you have completed a particular project or program, but you can never say you did it perfectly. There is always room for improvement. Never stop trying. Dare to break the barriers and ignore the naysayers. Mistakes and failures have hidden power in themselves. You may fall many times but you can always get up and stand tall. Failure can never stop you from trying for another time unless you stop yourself. The task is yours and you are the master of your life. Life never ends for one who. keeps on trying. Never say never again, since one failure is not the end of your journey on this earth A big shot is a little shot who keeps on shooting, so keep trying" says the missile man of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. A successful person is the one who never stops trying. They find joy in every extra step they take, Edison made 10,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. *I have not failed, I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work, said the scientist. He did not stop trying when he failed the first time but rather kept on trying. We all have witnessed this in our Polio Eradication Campaign in India. There were stumbling blocks on our way but we converted every stumbling block in to stepping stone. Remember, imitation is limitation. Be yourself. Are not many people trying to be someone or trying to do something they are not supposed to do? Be what you are and it s the first step towards becoming a better you. Better yourself every time and never stop trying. Success is yours alone. Wish you all the success in every Endeavor today, tomorrow and always ASHOK Mahajan Director, Rotary International (2007-09) Trustee , The Rotary Foundation (2009-13)
