What if I was born poor...

People ruling the success charts today have started one day from somewhere ordinary

It is no one’s fault to be born out of magnificence nor is it a specialty to open your eyes occupying all what one may desires. We all land in this world under different circumstances but the given playing field is the same for all. It is you who is going to decide what you are going to be and what impact you are going to make to this world. If you are born ordinary that does not mean that your ending is going to be worthless too. Yes, it might sound huge for the beginners to tell and make themselves believe that people ruling the success charts today have started one day from somewhere ordinary, with limited means and resources and from there, they have topped the heights of the success world.

To be successful, one must have the ability to plan and aim. A person must be able to decide what worth he holds and which passage can help him sprint towards success. Formidable brains do hold the power to aim, analyze and chase. It is not necessary that your plans are going to engross the entire universe and you are going to conquer whatever you want within the timeline you’ve decided for your own self. It takes time and on several occasions, it takes a lot of time which is even beyond your last line expectations. At so many intervals of life, you may feel exhausted about what you have started or will feel stirred about the passage you have taken but the key to success is that you keep appreciating yourself for the journey you have covered and keep reminding yourself that why you started in the first place. This is how it works and this is how successful people conquer.

Globally, there are several examples of people whose initial lives were spent being poor but today, they are renowned all over the world and that is all because of their hard work, ambitions, and determination. Internet tycoon Jack Ma, founder of the technology giant Apple Steve Jobs, Charlie Chaplin, Leonardo DiCaprio, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Walt Disney are just a few of them. They and the others like them have settled their mark of life and then worked endlessly hard to hunt them down. Hard work is a mandatory key to success. There could be no shortcut to long term success. One must have to take the escalators to reach the top. Do not get settle for the lesser if you even hardly believe that you deserve better and more.

Many people opt to change their track because of the no immediate success and on most of the junctures, it is because of the suggestions one is getting for not outreaching the desired results. In this regard, it is opined that always keep yourself open to insinuations until you decide your path but once you take your decision, do not look back and keep on forcing yourself to walk that path, does not matter how difficult and harsh it gets. As a famous quote says, "Tougher situations never last but tougher people do."
