Types of People Who Will NOT Succeed in Life

There's a senior of my school whom I know personally, let his name be Amit.

His father owned a very small shop at the outskirts of my city and his mother was a homemaker, so the whole family relied on his father as he was the only source of income.He came from an extremely middle class family.

But when the CBSE 10th results were out, the whole school was stunned by his performance which was quite expected. He topped the whole district with a whopping 97%.

Everyone expected him to visit Kota as he had the potential to clear IIT(no jee adv was there that time). But due to his financial condition he stayed in our small city and yet again amazed us with his ecstatic performance in class 12 as he scored 95% with 100 in chemistry.

Through BCECE he got himself in Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology, for those who don't know, it's a tier-3 govt college of Bihar whose condition is pathetic.

A boy who was capable of clearing IIT ended up in a tier-3 college which was devastating for him, people advised him not to do so but money created the boundaries. Still he decided to pursue his interest and prepare for CAT.

He toiled hard and his hard work paid off, he got a call from IIM Indore and even got a govt job in E.Railway which was no less than a dream for him.

But life has it's own way of pulling out the rug from right under you feet when you least expect it.

His father died in an accident. The world almost stopped for him. Yet again, money created the boundaries between him and his dream Institute as the only earning member of the family is no more. He had no options left but to join as an engineer in Railways to support his family.

He dumped the idea of studying in IIM and went ahead to join as a govt engineer.

Years passed, he got married and was blessed with a baby girl.

Wait, the story is not over yet.

This time, he nailed it again. He cleared the toughest UPSC engineering service examination and this time even money didn't have the power to stop him.

Now, he's working as a class A officer and leads a peaceful life.

Now coming to the question, Which kind of people never succeed in life?

• People who are stuck in their past- This man had a gloomy past but it didn't stop him from holding on to his dream of becoming successful one day.
• People who play blame games- Never in my life have I seen this man blaming money or his luck for his circumstances, instead he sourced all the confidence from it and gave a kick start to his career.
• People who play safe- Had he not taken the risk, he would have been stuck with his old job.
• People who thinks it's too late- When he cleared this examination, he was married and had a 1 year old daughter. Still he remained focused on his aim and even fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
• People who believes it's the end- If he had thought even once that leaving IIM for a low-paying job is the end, he would never be able to achieve the social status which he has today.He proved that Dead Ends don't exist!!!
