What makes them so special........................................

What is it that takes them to a place where others can't reach? Today everybody wants to achieve whatever goals he/she sets for him/herself. For some their personal life is the first priority, for others it it is career and some take the middle path. You talk to anybody today and you will know that most of the people are trying hard to realize their dreams and we find it hard to ignore the fact that even just surviving is a struggle. It takes guts to live a "Normal" life and then I'm talking about realizing dreams. Do we need to think twice before setting ourselves on the path leading to our dreams? If answer is yes, then why we call them dreams. Dreams by definitions are far from reality. but reality is the outcome of courage of a dreamer. Am I really making any sense? Perhaps yes to those who are still alive and no to those who have lived their life even before dying. Many will say, come on, nidhi, be practical, let us face the reality and find out what is possible and what is not. But unless I try how I'll ever be able to check its validity. Then even simply trying will take me away from reality. then there are dream killers: who are afraid of any new idea/change. and most of the times these are the people who are in power, who are in control. They are really influential people and you can't ignore their advice. Oh, it all seems so complicated. to make the things worse, you have one more struggle, one more competition and that is with yourself: your own limitations, fears, short comings. You are further limited by weaknesses of being a human: we all want acceptance from our family members, our colleagues, our superiors and even juniors...... you have limited time: death is inevitable. and sometimes you take a long time to find out your real dreams. Something which will give you an "ever-lasting" happiness. Then how some people leave their footprints. They can leave a dent in the universe. Their contribution is hard to ignore. We all want to know about them. They were just like us: just human beings and limited by the same factors as we are. then what is that which make them so special. Some will argue that they were practical, they knew just intelligence and hard work is not enough. Others say that they were lucky enough and then some will try to prove that they were smart. But I feel it is all about "COURAGE", courage to believe that "YES, IT IS POSSIBLE, IT IS DOABLE".........................................Just look back in your life and I'm sure you will also realize that it is only courage which kept you moving..............................
