Momentary Success

Time in our hands is certainly the greatest and the most precious resource available to each one of us, which if goes by is a non returnable and in-convertible entity.

Presently, as we look around all the forces keep on giving us ideas and opportunities to succeed in some way or the other by all means whether fair or unfair. In this information age through all types of media, digital resources like Internet, policies and plans in organizations, relationships, social networks and social institutions are also not only promoting but playing a key role to envisage a momentary success to us.

What do we mean by this momentary success? This temporary success seems extremely attractive to us because it doesn't require us to perform nor demands any challenges to face. It is depicted in number of different ways to attract us. Let's see what are those popular methods of attraction.

Get ready to participate in different types of 'LUCKY DRAWS' and win exciting prizes. Fake offers of saving money like 'DISCOUNT OF 10% OFF' on all discarded, out of fashion materials, shoes etc. The packets of all junk food items like chips, biscuits etc are half empty and the packet is full of air as if its full. Throughout the day we keep on receiving messages to get unnecessary talk time, block buster packages of messaging without any need just for GUP SHUP, means talking, talking and talking all the time without any reason wasting each others time and money.

All the emphasis on talking not on performing, doing hard work,  facing challenges and realities of life just providing an easy way out of all the hardships by developing fake friendships with opposite sex.

We call this a kind of desperation and frustration and killing time is the prime objective of this commercial life style which we want to adopt without thinking that its an unending race leading us to nowhere except disaster of our time, money and personalities.

Teachers are taking job in school to kill time, need some pocket money to fulfill their fashion and makeup needs. Students are going to school just because they have no other choice as their parents want them to study but they don't want it themselves, therefore they don't want to work hard, learn and gain knowledge. They are acquiring education to pass exams, get degrees to earn money and education is just a means to an end and not an end itself.

Manufacturers make materials which are pathetic in quality so people buy again and again. Business community through media create a hype for useless products to provoke people for spending. At the same time giving ideas of saving pennies. We can rightly use here 'PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH'.

We all are living in a fake world which depicts a very attractive picture of 'MOMENTARY SUCCESS', in front of us which certainly does't exists any where because there is 'NO SHORT CUT TO SUCCESS'. 

Consequently, I would imply that such attractions will keep on coming our way every now and than but final control lies with us no matter what happens. Becoming careful, patient and composed will help us to feel the dishonesty even if lying underground. 'THINK BEFORE YOU LEAP'. Set priorities for your life and than spend money and use your other resources accordingly.

Each individual wants to be successful in life but just very few actually achieve success in true sense. The fact is just because shortcut methods are never workable in life.

Decide for yourself now, which way you choose. 'MOMENTARY SUCCESS' OR 'LIFE TIME SUCCESS' ? The ball is in your court now............
