What are the necessary ingredients to success? Wit? Talent? Courage? There’s also another, more important one that’s pretty much the difference between someone who merely gets by and someone who succeeds in life. We are talking about determination.

To some extent, writers, artists, singers, presidents and good workers are born, as certain qualities and skills come naturally to some than to others. However, “ability” only decides the lower limit to your achievement. A determination is what drives you, and makes you reach your full potential. Thus, determination to succeed may make someone who is weak at something average at it, and then possibly better. The determination also makes someone who is already strong at something even better at it. It helps you turn your potential into actuality, and gives you the fuel to strive beyond it. Still not convinced?

Here’s a story about a Determined boy:

This boy was born into a low-income family. His mother sold idlis on the pavement. She wanted her son to grow up as an educated person. The boy was determined to fulfill his mom’s wish. With true grit and determination, he made sure his socioeconomic status wasn’t an obstacle, and he studied hard. He got into BITS Pilani and then IIM. Now, he could’ve easily been absorbed into an MNC to earn a lot of money and live a comfortable life. However, this boy wasn’t one to take the easy way out. He was determined, right from the beginning, to make a difference. He took up an entrepreneurial role. He founded a food business that is doing very well, and employing and serving many people.

This boy is none other than Sarath Babu, owner, and CEO of Food King.

A determination is what separated him from many other boys, who might’ve had a similar story but a different ending. It’s an example of how willpower can transform a less than promising beginning into a fantastic finish.

Have a goal, but make sure it’s your goal and not someone else’s. If it’s something you want, nothing should stop you from achieving it! Make no excuses and take full responsibility for it. Visualize yourself making it, read inspirational stories about people who did achieve a similar goal (such as the above story!) and analyze what they did to achieve it. You may even put up pictures of these people, and quotes, on your wall to periodically remind you and get you in the zone of achieving your wish and goal.
