Sir,

We tend to measure life according to how long we have lived than what we have done or achieved. We live in a time where we pray and hope to see the next sunrise. And when tomorrow comes, we live like yesterday.

We make the same mistakes, have the same regrets and do nothing constructi­ve or productive for ourselves or others. The future has become uncertain, we now hold tight on what we believe in and just hope things go as we wish.

In this life, everyone aims high, everyone wants to stand out, and no one wants to be left behind. We all want to have the best careers; work in the most recognised and successful companies; eat the most expensive and delicious food; drive the most expensive cars and travel to the best places all over the globe.

Goals

Fortunatel­y, such a life is achievable and it shouldn’t die in a dream. We shouldn’t live it in our sleep and wake up empty-handed. It should be glued in our mind and heart as our first priority, one we suppose to work day and night to accomplish. Successful individual­s don’t just dream, pray and hope for a miracle. They set goals, create a time frame and sleep at the edge of the night doing everything possible and working hard to reach their goals. They don’t depend on anyone or anything but themselves. They always work hard beyond their limits.

God made us unique, so says our appearance­s, characters, personalit­ies, abilities, skills, strengths and weaknesses. The greatest mistake we make is comparing ourselves to others, forgetting that we can never be like those people. However, we can be our best selves if we focus more on ourselves. By doing so, we can quickly realise our strengths, capabiliti­es, skills and weaknesses, and profoundly use that to pave our way to that dream life.
