Fortune Favors the Brave

(Noreen Akhtar, Lahore)

“Fortune favors the braves” the phrase means: you will have good luck if you carry out your plans brashly.

Fortune is sense like luck. This is saying “good luck comes to those who are afraid to step forward and look for it”. Although the grace of God and sanctifications of elders brings accomplishments, a hardworking and a sincere person gets the co-operation and co-ordination of all due to his braver. Fortune or destiny smiles at him because of his determination to achieve the goal.
Fortune favors the braves is a harsh reality which everybody have to accept that God rewards those who try and give proper consideration to their decision. Trials and obstacles are present in everybody’s life that creates fear in someone’s life and on the other hand, develops courage in other’s that creates boldness in him to face the realities of life. Actually when a person loses his confidence under a fear of failure then he doesn’t try to compete with any problem.

Bravery is a quality of life; it must be present in every one of us especially in youth because they have to strive with the world. If one helps himself or herself by putting all his efforts with courage he will be rewarded. Thus, keep going each step may get harder but don’t stop, the view at the top is beautiful. It is rightly said that luck matters a lot but this luck can’t come without courage and hard work so; success is not just a gift which everybody gets, for this a lot of hard work is needed. One has to follow these words “try, try and try till the goal is attained”. Luck has always supported those who dare to set a new tradition in the history of the world. Only those people get positions that move against the flow of a stream, not who swims with the flow.
If we look through the history we come to know that all great personalities and heroes became famous because of their bravery and determination. They did not care about failures but trusted their abilities. Luck also favors such heroes. There are many such examples but a few are as follows.

Everybody knows about the life of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). He (SAW) faced many difficulties in his life while preaching the teachings of Islam. People had been ready to hurt Him and create hurdles in His way for His discouragement but His hard work, firm belief, determination and bravery helped Him to overcome those hurdles. The life of Holy Prophet (SAW) was a life of complete success. His life style exhibits such an example that even a person of low intelligence is forced to confess that He was a perfect example of the manifestation of divine qualities.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah one of the greatest men of the world, is the Muslim layer, politician, statesman and founder of Pakistan. He was the voice of hundred million Muslims, fought for the religious, social and economic freedom. His bravery, courage and devotion to his mission are unparalleled throughout the history. He beat the conspiracies and fortune also helped him to get his goal.

Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan is a Pakistani nuclear scientist and a metallurgical engineer who served as the Director –General of Kahuta Research Laboratories from 1976 until 2001. To support the fees of his education, khan was employed at Siemens Engineering where he worked as a practical trainee. Who knew that this poor man of great pride for the nation. He did not care of any threat and did nuclear test and fortune also followed him because he worked wholeheartedly.

Christopher Columbus, who ventured out an unknown ocean in a little ship, think of the courage required to risk one’s life in such a hazardous adventure. Fortune favored him by leading him to discover a new and unsuspected world the continent afterwards called America.

Dr. Abdul Sitar Edhi is leading the Edhi foundation in Pakistan and its branches all over the world. He has earned a reputation as being one of the most selfless and honorable human beings today and the system he has established is a model for a welfare state. But he got this after facing many hardships and challenges. He faced hurdles in the formation of the Madina Voluntary Corporation in the beginning of his work but his creative ideas and ability to face the world made him achieve his goal.

Moin Akhtar raised his talent and introduced standing comedy the first time in the history. It became a challenge for him to get success in this role. He said there is no way to handle the people; you have to be different in different situation.

If we look at the farmer life, it is due to his determination that he does not leave his efforts even after failures. Similarly when we look at a student’s life we see that hardworking student always gets success.

Hundreds of people changed the history of the world by their bravery, leadership qualities and courage that’s why fortune favored them in their mission of success. These qualities need to be provoked in the young generation. Encourage people who are talented but scare to show their talent in front of the world. People need to change their perception that without luck we can’t do anything. As, rightly said:
“Against Change of Fortune Change a Brave Heart”
