SUCCESS STORY OF WILMA RUDOLF
The women who got 3 gold medals in Athletics in 1960 Olympics. Behind this fantastic achievement there is story to be told. True encouragement for those guys who are desperate for success. For those people who think that they have disabilities and shortcomings and can't succeed like other winners, please read it .
Wilma Rudolf got Pneumonia and stroke at the age of 4. She has to wear Brace as per medical advice.
Everyone believed she could not walk all through life. But her mother was not among them. She believed in hard work and dedication and confidence. She encouraged Wilma to expect good and feel good and work for the best. Her mother was confident that with practice and hard work coupled with divine touch Wilma can walk again. The aim of Wilma was to become the fastest women in the world.
From the age of 9, she began to walk despite the advice of doctors not to do so. Then from 13 th year onwards she began to participate in the races. But in all races she could only manage last places. At the age of 15 she began training under Ed temple ,the trainer at Tennissi state University. Wilma worked hard under the trainer and her confidence was high. Her greatest weapon was hard work and confidence in her. At 1960 Olympics her opponent in 100m race was Jatta Hayden who was never defeated. Wilma defeated her and won gold medal. In 200 m race also Wilma defeated Hayden and won gold medal. In 400 m relay baton fallen from Wilma ,but she took it back and won the race.
In my belief not all have disabilities and short comings like Wilma had. But we believe we are short of some thing. We are not like winners. We lack something that winners have. It is the inner self that decide winner and looser. Every one can be a winner provided one put the hard work and dedication in the work.
I want you to believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. God has a Great Purpose for your life!
SUCCESS STORY OF WARREN BUFFET
Born in 1930 in rural Nebraska, Buffett showed a knack for financial and business matters from early childhood. At the age of 11 he made his first investment in the stock market and by 13 he was working as a newspaper delivery boy and selling his own horseracing tip sheet. While at high school, he and a friend bought a used pinball machine for $25 and installed it in a local barbershop. Within a few months, they had made enough money to buy three more machines, and later sold the business for $1 200.
By the time Buffett left college at the age of 20, he had made $10 000 from his childhood businesses. In 1956, shortly after graduation, he founded the company Buffett Partnership in his hometown and embarked on what would become a lifetime career of buying undervalued companies whose stocks would shortly begin to rise. If you had invested $10 000 in Berkshire Hathaway when Buffett co-founded it in 1965, your holdings would be worth more than $50 million today.
Despite his vast wealth - the bulk of which he donates to charity – Buffett remains modest and unassuming, still living in the same house he bought thirty years ago and driving an older-model vehicle. The principles he follows for business success are equally down-to-earth.
“Never invest in a business you can’t understand,” he has frequently said, stressing the importance of knowing your own business to the core. He has consistently refused to invest in anything other than financial service businesses, because those are what he understands. Believe in yourself and you will get there.
SUCCESS STORY OF LARRY PAGE AND SERGEY BRIN
No need of introduction. In 1998 Google sets up workspace in Susan Wojcicki's garage at 232 Santa Margarita, Men-lo park and Larry and Sergey hire Craig Silverstein as their first employee. Rest is history. They too failed first. They approached Yahoo in their earlier years for selling the idea. But the reply was NO. Then what happened. Now Google is bigger than Yahoo.
Nowadays people tend to give more focus on failures. They easily come to the conclusion that they are not capable of doing it. Any one who believes he can do it, can do it hundreds of times if he try it for 99 times. There is no short cut to success. Success can be achieved only by hard work and practice. Without these thing success will always elude you. All success people have short comings. All failed people too have short comings. The difference is that success people try hard to impair their shortcomings but failed one repent and live and die along with their shortcomings. Successful people are ex – loser who got mad with failure.
SUCCESS STORY OF NATALIE DU TOIT.
She lost her left leg in an accident in 2001. She become the first leg amputee to participate in the Paralympics and Olympics. In Beijing 2008 Olympics in 10k open water race she finished creditable 16 th out of 24 racers. Just over one minute behind the winner. The event is termed as Wrestling in water. That shows the stamina NATALIE DU TOIT has. If she live the life after the accident just like the majority do then we may not have heard her name . She done it with her courage and hard work and determination.
Above mentioned stories always encourages desperate guys. Almost all human beings failed in their life numerous times. Almost every one. There is a story behind every success. The path to success is difficult. It is only the first that is always talked more. Neel Armstrong is more famous than Edwin Adrin. People will remember success for more time. They will remember the guy who come the first. Not the second.
Once Carl Marx said ' change is the only thing that does not change'. Change your life for good. Things will follow. There is no short cut to success. When you do the half the god will you the another half. There is no point in saying god is not favoring me. I have no luck. Luck will only favor the brave. Those who have Never say die attitude will succeed in life. Waiting for the god to give every thing in life is rubbish. God give the half only to those who are hard working and dedicate.
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm"'. These are the words of Winston Churchill. There is no easy success. Failures are the stepping stone of success. This great man had failed in the 6th grade. Can you believe.
Don't give up. Even if things look bleak now, don't give up If you work hard, give it time, and don't give up, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream ... all we need is the courage to push beyond the river. Never Give Up On Anything. Its Madness... To hate all roses, because you got scratched by one thorn.

FINALLY
It is not too late fore you to achieve your greatness, if you breakthrough the barriers of the MIND, the barriers outside are too small to stop you to the TOP. Change your thinking to day to keep the flag of your future flying, keep on flying.
