Daily Motivation - story 5 - Determination
A group of climbers had gathered at the base of a mountain. They were staring at a peak that was difficult to climb, many would make it to the top but many wouldn't. As they gazed at the mountain top they noticed a man swiftly climbing up taking in his stride the steep slopes and the near vertical cliff. "He's awesome and lucky to have such skills", they murmured. Their guide on hearing said, "Awesome for sure, but lucky, no, he's worked very hard to hone his skills", he said. "His name is Karan, let me tell you his story".
"Many years ago Karan came here as an amateur climber. With neither the knowledge nor the endurance to scale the mountain he injured himself at the first attempt. He returned six months later, fit again and ready to go. This time also he failed. His stamina was just not enough to take him to the top, he was forced to turn back midway. But he did not give up. He returned again in another six months and yet again was not able to make it. Some regular climbers mocked him, made fun of him, taunted him to not return again and that climbing wasn't for him".
"Oh that's rude, he must have been broken from within", said one of the climbers. "No my dear, there are those who break down with criticism and then there are those who get charged, determined and raise their game when met with criticism, Karan is the latter. On his way back that year, Karan said, The most satisfying feeling in the world is doing what people say you can't. He went back trained harder and longer, this time coming back after a year. That year he made it to the summit, to be greeted by cheers and applause from those who had mocked him earlier . He earned everyone's respect and his story of determination and grit has since then always been used to encourage amateur climbers".
As these climbers were on their way up they met Karan who was descending. They all stood in line and gave a huge cheer and applause to Karan. He smiled and waved back, wished them luck and they continued on their respective paths.
Nothing is impossible if you are determined. Sometimes it may take a little longer, sometimes you have to work a little harder but if you keep doing your hard work, success will eventually come.
