Here I was composing my next blog post;
night navigation techniques and new developments which can be made by Indian
Army. To crop an interesting article out of lacklustre topic is a difficult
job. May be to you night navigation may sound cool but after doing it for so
many times, you don’t want to express but you will wish to do it again.

I took a break; switched to Facebook and
here again my friend Anoop uploaded one of his pictures from toastmasters. This
time he was speaking on ‘You dream it. You get it’. Interesting, isn’t it?
What is dream?
Dream is a visualisation which is out of
bound because of your present proficiency and set of skills which you have
acquired. This means, when you have this vision, you actually cannot accomplish
it. Something which is higher than your eminence is a dream.
Now you may say that I have gone cleft. I
don’t want you to think like that and I will support my statement with an
example. Just imagine there is a kid who is eleven years old. Now he dreams to
be a fighter jet pilot. Use your logic at this point;
1. He doesn’t have required qualification.
2. He cannot fulfil the average criteria set
in the whole world to be a fighter jet pilot.
3. I suppose, he even doesn’t possess the
fitness level.
Difference between Dream and Goal
1. The main difference between the both is
that dream is the expedition which you haven’t started and you are not aware
about the itinerary of this journey.
2. Goal is the other type of journey in which
you are standing on the starting line, aware about the route and distance,
planned well and it is within your ability.
How you can achieve the dream?
It is not at all a big deal to fulfil your
dreams. Now you will say, ‘RAUL SODAT NAJWA look at the above lines you have
written, I don’t have the required competency to achieve it’. My friend then
why you don’t and generate the competence? Include the skill set which is
required to take you one step ahead towards your dream.
PLAN! PLAN!! PLAN!!!
The first step to achieve the dream is
planning. Detailed planning which explains every single step which you need to
take to move towards that huge DREAM.
INITIATIVE

Next step is taking initiative of taking
action. If you will keep on waiting for someone else who will accompany you on
your glorious journey, then you are biggest fool. He may snatch your dream and
you will be standing at a far distance watching him taking away your trophy of
dreams. Initiative should be yours, individually. You have seen the dream,
learn to get it on your own. You can use him as resource but not as a partner.
Oops, just gave you a golden rule.
MAINTENANCE OF INITIATIVE
Initiative taken can become initiative
lost, if you don’t maintain the momentum. Maintenance of initiative is equally
important as taking initiative. You just need to keep moving on the right path
with minus error and supplementary results.
THE LAST STEP

The last step is the most important one. Most
of the people become lazy while taking the last step, they think that they have
reached the finish line, but it is the biggest mistake which one can made. My
cross-country coach Mr Ratna Kumar always taught me that till the time I don’t cross the finish
line, I can’t relax, the race isn’t over. It was the important
lesson which helped me at the important junctions of my life. You never know,
you relax and your opponent crosses you and takes away your fame.

EGO
Success is determined by the achievement of
your dreams but never have ego. Make your new achievement as the jumping-jack
to achieve higher dreams which is out of your reach. The day, ego enters in
your head, it will not take time to take you to the doorsteps of defeat.
What about the kid?
The kid will first acquire the required
qualification. Then he will plan for the selection and prepare for the same. If
he fails, he introspects, include the missing skill set and come again. If he
succeed then he introspect about the mistakes made which could have landed him
in trouble, celebrate the success, now dream something bigger.
YOU DREAM IT!
YOU GET IT!!
