Kis raah par hoon main,
Kahan jana hai mujhe,
Soch raha hai pagal dil,
Kahan hai meri manzil.
Is manzil ki uljhan mein,
Bhool rahi hoon rahon ki khushi,
Itni bhi kyon bechen hoon main,
Aisi kya hai bebasi.
Jab pana hi hai manzil ko,
Aur nahi rukna rahon mein,
Phir nahi hai koi chinta,
Bas hai manzil ko bharna bahon mein.

Success
Success is a magical seven letter word which fascinates everyone. Each and every person in this world strives for success. Each letter of the word Success tells a quality of the person who can be successful.
The first S stands for Strong Willpower. A person needs to have a fixed goal in his mind, a goal which he wants to achieve. While achieving that goal, he may come across many difficulties but one should be firm enough that one wants to achieve that goal.
The path to success isn’t smooth. One has to pass through thicks and thins on this path but the winner is the one who overcomes the difficulties and achieves his goal. Thus goes the saying:
“Patience and Perseverance can overcome mountains.”
U stands for Uniqueness. One on this path needs to have certain unique qualities which will make him successful. The basic qualities needed for success are hard-work, determination, focused attitude and of course, positive thinking. One should be sure that all the positive things will happen to him.
One of the unique qualities would be faith. One needs to have faith that come what may one will be successful. Whether one gets appreciation or crtiticism for his/her efforts, the end result will be success. One also needs to be dedicated to the goal and efforts for success.
C stands for Confidence. This is a very essential quality. A person doubting himself can never be successful. One should be sure of his capabilities, believe in himself that he can and he will excel in whichever field he chooses.
The next C stands for Competence. Whichever field the person is in, he should be competent enough for that field. He should be aware of the latest developments in addition to the basic skills.
E stands for Education. In today’s competitive world, a person needs to be well-educated. This is an era of specialization and a person with specialized knowledge can do the job in a specialized manner. Of course apart from the knowledge gained from educational institutions, he should possess intelligence and reasoning power which are inherent qualities.
The second S stands for Smart move. One should have quick decision making power. For e.g., a businessman has to take certain important decisions in a short span of time. One should be capable enough to take the right decision at the right time which turns out to be a profitable one and that is what I call a Smart Move.
The third S, which is also the last letter of Success, stands for Satisfaction. After achieving what one wants, he has to be satisfied and happy else the whole purpose of the journey is lost. Satisfaction is not necessarily measured in monetary terms. The whole idea is about Mental Satisfaction. We often talk about Job Satisfaction. One should be happy with his job, work environment, etc. One can also be encouraged when he gets an opportunity to face the challenges satisfying his need for adventure.
There are people who have become ‘Somebody’ from ‘Nobody’ and this has happened through sheer determination and hard-work. They have reached the zenith of success

Dedication
Dedication and Choice are synonymous. If I am dedicated to something, thats because I have chosen to be dedicated to it. For instance, my dedication to workouts. I may want to stay fit, lose weight or just get relieved of stress. Whatever may be the reason, it motivates me not to miss my workouts.
During Paryushan, I don't miss any lectures or any Satsang. Even if I need to get up early in the morning to attend religious discourses, I do that. This dedication helps me to work on my habit (weakness) of not getting up early. Sometimes, I question myself - "What motivates me to be dedicated to whatever I do - my work, workouts, thirst for achieving the purpose of life, etc?" I get the answer from within. My hunger to achieve certain goals motivates me to be dedicated.
Does dedication give good results all the time? The answer would be - "Yes, most of the times." How do I feel when I get a negative feedback for all the hardwork and dedication? May be, some one will tell me that I took it very lightly or my attitude was very casual. Anyhow, I will take it positively. I'll think that the other person feels I am capable to deliver more. That'll make me work harder and put in more dedication towards whatever I do.
Hence, in the end, I feel that dedication will induce further dedication.
