My views on --->>> "Young people should be encouraged to pursue long-term, realistic goals rather than seek immediate fame and recognition."
Some days ago I encountered a post written by CEO of a well know Bussiness house of India, asking people to "Deserve before you desire". The heading seemed quite repulsive and offensive to me but after scrolling down some lines, I realized my misinterpretation and found the post full of guidence telling young people of India to continue working with established companies rather than hopping from one company to another for the sake of fat pay package. According to the article people, who change their job frequently for higher pay scale do not ride any more ladders of success than those, who stick with the established companies for some time and dont leave them without any necessary or compelling reason.
Today's age is the age of cutthroat competition. People want to do things as soon as they can. They want to fly ahead of time and in the pursuit to outperform others they often forget that higher you want to build a building, stronger your groundwork should be. In my views, there exist no short cut to success. Shortcuts for immediate fame and recognition can only rarely be able to take you where you would want to be in long run. For success in long run, one essentially needs hardwork, through knowledge of the field, rich experience, intuitive knowledge, patience and dedication and all these can only be obtained if we dont use shortcuts to immediate fame and name, if we dream realistically and we take steps to pursue dreams, rather than just weaving them.
One more advantange of dreaming realistically is that it removes a kind of unnecessary but enormous amount of pressure from us. When we dream realistically, we also decide realistic timelines to achieve our goals. Otherwise if we dream for immediate name and fame, we will not be able to settle any kind of achievable timeline for our goals. In several cases it may turn out to be impossible to follow the timeline for fast achievements. Often when we can not follow our timeline, we loose confidence, we cut time form short term future goals to provide more time to due short term goal to finish our final target on time as decided but if try to follow realistic timeline we are more likely to achieve our short term goals on time as decided, then we will be more confident from our success, we will be more energetic and industrious and that is what needed in long term . Dreaming high is not worng but we should keep our feet on earth. We must dream high but should always be realistic. Only if we think realistically, we will able to perform them in best way possible.
Realistic thinking is the backbone of success but in today's generation young people take it as foolishness if you do not secure what is coming your way. Grabing things as much as in any possible way has become the theme of life. But we must remember nothing in the world comes for free. Everything has its own price, the only difference is sometimes we can see the price at he time we pay and sometimes we realize it later. It has been experienced several times that immediate success can gain name and fame for you but often it fails to maintain that blazing success for long time. Finally I would like to end up with the note that to aim at long run, young people should dream realistically to achieve realistic achievable goals, aiming at immediate success is not the characteristic of a strategic planner as immediate glory can not last long, it will just shine and will be at back stage immediately.
