Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on, after others have let it go.

"Slow & steady always wins the race."  
Success is often related with your patience. Success doesn't favour the people who give up easily.
Whether you deserve success or failure depends upon a little word, 'Hanging on'. If you become very desperate about your problems, you are unlikely to solve them. You should be very cool & calm while facing any kind of difficulty. 


It is said that 'Your attitude almost always determines your altitude in life'. Attitude is your approach, it is your reaction to a particular stimulus. If it is fearless & confident then you can dare to soar. You can enjoy the obstacles in your life. Because at that time, you'll know that there is a happier life beyond this obstacle. However huge it may seem, it is temporary. The darkest hour of the night, is just before the dawn. 


I remember the lines of a beautiful poem I learned in school :
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.


You're the creator of your fortune. You decide your destiny. What is important is faith & belief in yourself & this world. Most of us are part of the failure because they don't believe. They think that faith & all is bullshit. They ignore the fact that the future is in their hands. Self-belief or Faith is not a magic.It is a slow process which gives you enough time to think about whatever you've asked for, is that what really you want? 

Those who lack the will, are the fake ones.. & they probably never get what they want. And even if they get, they can't retain it. Because it depends more upon the genuineness & intensity of your want. And those who are the real seekers, never give up easily. So hang on & keep a close watch.
