(Nadeem Israr, Karachi)
A king having been defeated in a war was hid in a cave. He was very disappointed that after attempting many times, he could have not been successful. He was sitting on a rock very sadly and staring at an ant which was busy in the efforts to climb on a steeper wall. He noticed that the wall was enough slippery and the ant could have not been successful for a time. The king forgot lamenting on his failure and paid his full attention to the struggle which the ant was making there. He kept looking and after some time passed he got startled that the ant was climbing over the wall. On considering the reason, he excavated the result that so many attempts laid some scratches on that slippery wall on which the ant fixing her legs vehemently was able to advance upward. The incident proved to be a eye-opener for the king. He was very impressed with that incident and stood up filled with passion and said to himself that when a silly creature like ant can be successful in her goals after some attempts, so why I could not be. He came out from the cave with great ambition and gathered his soldiers and attacked on enemy with much courage and defeated him. This story is lesson for those who lose their hearts while they face failure first time and stop taking next attempt for next time. I think that, it is the main problem of majority of our youth for not excelling in any field. They start working on any task with great enthusiasm which was fueled by the dreams which they had. But, their dreams prove to be so fragile that even a little gust of failure shatter them into thousand pieces and as a result they leave having further attempt on that task. One must keep very clearly in mind that, whenever one decides to accomplish any task there is fifty fifty chances for success and failure. And realizing this fact, one must feel good and have no pressure on him. I am not going to advise for not paying much attention on task which one has decided to devote. But, my point is that one should not take it on his nerve and keep oneself relaxed in the period of achieving the goals. When a person is relaxed then he can use his full faculties to attain his goals. And unlikely if one faces failure at first attempt then it does not mean that one should stop working more. Instead, he should search for the reasons of the failure and try to correct them for gaining success in future.If one makes this strategy, at last he will compulsorily get the success.
