Motivation is Greater than Favour

Motivation is Greater than Favour One who is born in a state of affluence is bound to become intellectually dwarfed, while one who is born in poor circumstances emerges as an intelectual giant. A ccording to a survey, out of the world’s hundred richest people today, 27 are heirs and 73 are selfmade. Of the self-made, 18 have no college degree and 36 are children of poor parents, but some billionaires had neither a degree nor wealthy parents. (The Times of India, August 18, 2013). In other words, super-achievers are not born, they are self-made people. It is not external favour that makes one a super-achiever, but one’s own struggle. Superachievement is not achieved through inheritance, but is a self-acquired success. It is a fact that no one is a born billionaire, but it is also a fact that everyone is a potential billionaire. It is the unfolding of one’s own potential that makes one a billionaire or super-achiever. Nature does not discriminate between one person and another. Nature’s gifts come to everyone on an equal basis. It is the receiver himself who either utilizes them or fails to do so.
