success or whatever you call it.....

Its been a while since i wrote my last post..10 days to be precise!! so hi everyone!!
yesterday night i was sitting with my friends having a conversation when suddenly one of my friends had this thought on his mind...he said "sancho don't you think we have underachieved"
and then i asked him "underachieved with respect to what??" then he answered "academics!!"
he said "we could have been in Harvard,Stanford but here we are in Manipal"...then i asked him"are you not happy with what you have??" he said "i am not sad but i am not happy either..."
i dint know what to say to him because deep down i knew he was right...but then i thought is there any starting point for success that i failed to see....haven't i started the race already?? but there is no starting point...the simple fact that my friend was thinking about what he did not have in life indicated that he was on the right track...its a fact..."whenever we think more about our dreams than our previous achievements we are moving forward...heading towards success..." so many of us wake up everyday and think about what we can achieve in the next 24 hrs...this simply shows that we are on the right track...maybe we don't have what we want the most..maybe we have underachieved...some of us need more money..some of us need more time...some of us need a sense of achievement...and then some of us just want things to be how they are...and most of us work hard towards what we want the most...yes most of us procrastinate but if we think about the future..if we have a purpose we are on the right track...and by no means i call that under achievement...
my whole post can be summed up by this simple statement"if you can see that loser in yourself and can confront him face to face you are heading for victory"

Underachievement is more often than not a state of mind...
Wat is an underacheivement for some1 could be the acheivement of a lifetime for someone else...
So to judge it is a subjective call to say the least..
Suceess indeed gives u a sighter when u need it more than air..Acheivement is the best drug that ever was and the earlier one realises it,the better it is..
