Rails of life

Do you know anyone whom you consider is "destined for greatness"? And what do you think set them apart?

What qualities in a person would lead you to conclude, that beyond any doubt, this individual is going to make a name for himself?

In my own experience, it is the quality of accommodative -ness. Of course, not just that, for if you do that to everyone unconditionally you will end up like a fallen banana peel

So such persons should also have an inner strength that leads others to respect them. The respect is therefore two way, and well received at both ends.

So how does that connect with my title "Rails of life"?

The thought occurs to me sometimes, that you do see people whose career gets cut short. Ordinarily it is an injury or disease. At other times, it is their own behavior and actions. Is there a way you could predict it about anyone? Not really.

The other quality, therefore, that is needed is some amount of steadfastness and dedication to one's objectives. And it begins NOW for everyone, and from now onwards through all the way to your rise. If you get complacent, or burn yourself out, you are not going to go all that far. Bad destiny is always lurking in there, waiting. No matter if you are a Michael Jackson or Amy Winehouse..

    I think that it is something that is something inside of them that drives them to succeed to greatness.

    Persevere, dedication and remaining goal oriented will help propel you through life.

  4. "never gives up" In attaining a goal or to be successful, a person must suffer a lot. Do you know the stories of successful people around the world? They suffer so much but never gives up. :) Interesting reflection. Keep it up
