No short cut to success!

The youth is urged to be very careful in selecting their career options. Famous writer Chetan Bhagat says, “There was no ‘rewind button’ in real life and as such, one mistake can derail the entire venture.”

On Sunday, a motivational talk to Gaya was delivered by Bhagat. The activist group, Yuva Prayas, engaged in road safety awareness creation to save young lives and a Jaipur-based educational group, has jointly organized the event. Yuva Prayas leaders, elucidating the adoption of road safety as its ‘theme song’ told Bhagat that road safety is all more important and most of the youngsters are the victims of road accident.

Bhagat by giving tips to hundred of youth, asked his spectators to go ahead in the ‘I can do it’ spirit and to be always positive. People with modest background should not be unnecessarily bogged down through their ‘auqat’ (capacity) bogey because there are numerous instances doing tremendously well in life with humble background. In the Class X board examinations, Bhagat told his audience that he scored a moderate 76% marks, however, did not let the relatively low marks to disturb his future and made a position for himself by leaving behind the less memorable moments of life.

The famous author stated that luck too plays an immense part in career building but luck played a very limited and augmented role. Chetan using film language, “Everybody was the hero/heroine and scriptwriter of his/her own life. Why not write a script that takes the box office by storm?”

“There was ‘no short cut’ and one has to work very hard consistently to achieve the goal,” told by Chetan to his Hasrat Mohani auditorium audience. Suggesting to the Gaya youth, Chetan says, “Do something that you love and do not go by other people’s career perceptions”.

By some publishers, his books were firstly discarded, said Chetan Bhagat. Nevertheless, all these rejections made him went up, rather than giving up.

He states, “Institutions and the family can only give you facilities; the real work has to be done by you.” Bhagat said to the young boys and girls to nurture habit of reading book as books develop imagination. He said, “Well read men need not introduce themselves, their approach to life reveals the depth acquired through reading.”
