Where There’s a Will There’s a Way
brain. This brainstorm activates the dormant cells of
the mind, and the result is that one becomes capable
of doing what one could not have accomplished in a
normal situation.
There are numerous examples in history that confirm
this theory. One Indian example is that of Bhimrao
Ramji Ambedkar (1891 – 1956). He was born into a poor
untouchable family. As a boy, he found himself rejected
in his own society. This sad experience was very strong,
but he decided to overcome this situation. After much
hard work, he successfully completed his education,
and finally emerged as a great mind in the drawing up
of the Indian Constitution. After Independence he was
appointed as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee
of the Indian Constitution.
What is imperative in such a situation is that one who
faces such adversity should not become demoralized,
but should try to overlook other people’s behaviour
towards him, so that he may unfold his own potential.
Soon he will find that he is at the top of the ladder of
achievement.
The will, if it is strong, can unfold one’s hidden
potential. But there is a difference between willing and
wishing. Do not follow any unrealistic wish: follow your
true will and you will be able to add your name to the
list of super achievers.
