सपने देखो - सनबीम ग्रामीण स्कूल करसड़ा, वाराणसी

भविष्य उन्ही का है जो सपने देखते हैं। बिना सपना देखे हम सफल नहीं हो सकते। यदि हम सपने देखते हैं तो उसे पूरा करने की कोशिश करते रहना चाहिए।

भविष्य उन्ही का है जो अपने सपनों की खूबसूरती में विश्वास रखते हैं। अगर हम सपने नहीं देखेंगे तो हमारा जीवन अधूरा है। पहले हम सपने देखते हैं फिर उसको पूरा करने की कोशिश करते हैं। हर काम के पीछे कोई न कोई सपना होता है।

नैन्सी मौर्या

सपने देखना हमारे लिए आवश्यक है, अगर हम सपने नहीं देखेंगे तो लक्ष्य तय नहीं कर पायेंगे। किसी भी कामयाब व्यक्ति के पीछे उनके सपनों का हाथ होता है इसलिए सपना देखना आवश्यक है।

Setbacks: The guiding path towards success - Rishona Chopra

Sometimes the setbacks are exactly what we need, to rise higher than the rest. These setbacks push us back and let us down but to win a good race, you need to take a few steps back, so that you win with full force. 

It’s so often in life that we don’t get what we wished for, but that’s okay right? At that point, we may not always spot the silver lining but just like every cloud has a silver lining, every disappointment has a profound positive aspect to it that seems invisible but it’s always there, we just need to look deeper and find it.  

It sounds so cliche and shallow when people say that everything happens for a reason. When you’re down in the dumps, the last thing you want someone to tell you is that it all happened for a good reason. It doesn’t feel true at that time. But maybe, they’re right. Maybe everything does happen in life for a reason and perhaps setbacks and challenges are exactly what we need for a brighter future. How can one ever face life if they’ve never truly felt how disappointment feels? How can someone reach for the stars if they’ve never really faced any challenge in life? 

Time is precious. Each second is a blessing. Why spend that time wondering what could have been? It’s easier said than done ofcourse, but nevertheless it's the truth. The cold truth is, we don’t always get what we deserve, we don’t always get what we want, but life doesn’t wait for that. What matters more than the unchosen path is the one you’re on right now. 

Challenges make us stronger. I’ve heard that plenty of times but today I feel it. If you’ve never failed an exam, you’ll never know how important it truly is to pass. If a bird never leaves its nest, despite knowing it could fall, how would it ever sail through the clouds? It feels right now as if life couldn’t be worse, it feels disappointing. It feels as if your heart could break into a million pieces. But it won’t. It won’t because you and I, we know the secret of life. That the only way to move forward is to take a step back.
