Definition:
“We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence is not an act but a habit.”
-true to this fact, sky is not the limit. But this is just not that clear as to what we refer to.
And the answer is that for anything and everything sky is not the limit!! But let us take EXCELLENCE or SUCCESS as an example.
Meaning:
We are asked to dream, the result being actions. But it is abstract and awkward to ask,
“Till what we should dream?!”
-Thus lending the meaning –There’s no end for dreams! If it is thus, then there is no end for our thoughts and actions. It can also be said that there is no end for our Achievements! It’s because,
“Actions become Achievements!”
Now it can thus be put,
“There is no limit for any sweet thing.”
The Billionaire’s example:
Bill Gates, the multi-billionaire was a child prodigy. He used to finish his school work well before the time. Had he thought that was the ultimate aim, he wouldn’t have become what he is now! He became the Team Manager in the Cyber net Corporation. Had he thought that to be his ultimate objective, he wouldn’t have been the multi-billionaire! When the Microsoft Corporation was established he realized the meaning of Appellation and Immortality (name & fame). Had he stopped with this, he wouldn’t have become the world’s richest man! Had he felt satisfied when he first became the world’s richest man, he wouldn’t have become the richest man the next year. It is thus an Eternal Journey!
The sole aim:
“….to become what we are capable of becoming is the only end in life.”
And to identify or realize what we are capable of becoming is the sole aim of life.
It is but necessary to identify this sole aim. And that which is necessary to do this is to aspire and get inspired by big things, for, again I would say – Sky is not the Limit!
It is just a process of Experimentation. And in this process one cannot afford to aim for silly things. “Your goal is high above the sky!”. Of course one can argue saying,
“Little drops make a mighty ocean”-I would like to make it clear that this is for those who don’t realize the importance of what is available. And for this I would say,
“Capture everything on your path and don’t forget to capture those mighty things”.
Our Attitude:
What should be our attitude for this? This is the ultimate practical query. It is best said-
“Life is hard by the yard,
But by the inch,
It’s a cinch.”
What’s the difference between a top-ranker and a below-average student? It’s just simple! For a top-ranker, the hunger for Appellation and Immortality and the hunt for Eternal Quest and Means (happiness and wealth) are great, huge and mammoth!
“Obstacles are those frightful things that you see when you take your eyes off your goal!”
And a top-ranker doesn’t take his eyes away from his goal.
The need to aspire high:
One might feel like asking,
“What’s the hell use in achieving big things?”
Or
“What’s the necessity to aspire high?”
And for those muddle-headed fellows that I would like to ask is,
“Why do live?”
And the answer that I would give is,
“You are to lend meaning to your life!”
Life doesn’t take up its own meaning. It’s in our hands that we should make our life meaningful by making the best of it, the biggest of it!
From the point of achievers:
“The rate of success always decreases!”
Illustration-
In a quiz gaining points in the prelims is seem quite easy. You would feel that the score-board is racing. The quarters and the semis seem difficult.
While in the finals one would feel that score-board is just idle.
But for those who aim of winning the finals, it’s just a cake-walk. I would say this because,
“Most people give up when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one-yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown.”
-H. Ross Perot
This is because they, at this crucial point are remembered of the word ‘fear’, which arises of difficulty. To them is the universal fact,
“Easy and difficult are two states of mind.”
-they are not the qualities of the work which is undertaken.
The finishing touch:
X & Y have got their examination results. X has scored 199/200 while the latter 200/200. Who do you think would be spoken the best?
The height you achieve depends on the height you aim.
“Aim for the Heights,
Beat the failure,
Achieve the Desired,
Taste the Success!!”
