the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of the dreams

the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams "Rome wasnt built in a day, but they were laying bricks every day". John Holmwood sayings shows how Rome which began as Coglomeration, later turned into state, eventually into Empire. this was result of people's dreams and their belief in it which led them to keep working towards this beautiful goal. we often inorder to fulfill a goal, look at the end result but missout on the most essential aspect of it i.e. believing in yourself and keep working for it. One who believes in his dream has a sense of motivation which leads his way towards future.

Mahatma Gandhi belief in "Swaraj" pushed him against the boundaries - facing brutalities, being jailed intern coming out to be "Father of Nation". Boundaries that we create around us, try to push us inward, but Dreams which give sleepless nights make us break it. It requires persistence which calls for recurrent efforts towards our goal. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj who emerged victorious despite threats from Bahmani, Mughals is a case in point. Dreams help us to set up goals, target which one desires to achieve. It acts as a manifesto towards bright future. Nelson Mandela in his first presidentship press, on being asked what (8) kept him going, even after two dozens of Jail term? His answer was simple, he quoted his favourite line from "Invictus" - "I am master of my fate, I am captain of my soul. Mastery over fate is an act of Brave, who in order to reach destination, carves his own way - way to success. Dashrath Manjhi after loss of his wife, did not keep cribbing about the circumstances, but made a way out of it by making a tunnel all alone with chisel and hammer. The biggest tool he had was belief. It is this belief which makes us overcome adversities. As AP.J.

Abdul Kalam rightly said, man needs adversities to enjoy success. Arunima Sinha despite loosing her legs after being thrown out of legs, went on to climb Mount Everest with Amputed Legs. Accidents or adversities might break you physically, but it is the belief in dreams which is internal which helps you to achieve heights. Adversities might act as an invisible wall, but belief acts as an instrument which drills through the walls. Dreams under certain circumstances do change, but belief is something that keeps us stranded. The movie "Chapak", which depicts real life incident of acid attack victim, shows how one can morph her face but not her inner strength. Miss Agarwal, went on to find a NGO who worked for other Acid attack victims. Now that we have seen future belongs who believe in beauty of their dreams, but who or what qualities make him believe in his dream, Abraham Lincoln speech "I have a dream" showcases how first and foremost steps is to "dare to dream". Had he not dreamt about prosperous America, America might have been still in shackles of civil war. confidence is the booster, that ignites one's flame towards a dream, eventually lighting it up. "Self confidence" thus makes an individual not only dare to dream but also take steps towards it. Sardar Patel's dream of United India has been a result of his confidence in his negotiation skills and also confidence in his people which made them to come together despite differences. As Zigzaglar rightly said, "It is your attitude not your aptitude which make you reach great altitude". this attitude is result of one's beliefs. Belief in the beauty of dreams expresses itself in attitude of an individual. V.D. Savarkar's dreams of Independent India, shaped his attitude in turn leading to creation of "Abhinav Bharat". Future belongs not only those who believe in their dreams but constantly work towards it. As it is rightly said consistency is the key to success.

Thomas Edison failed numerous times, before succeeding. Thus Paul Coelho in his book "The Alchemist" remarked Beauty of life lies not in falling eight times but rising up the ninth time, keep working towards one's dream. As coin has two sides of coin. There is also a flip side to it. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam remarked, dreams is something not seen during sleep but something which does not let one sleep". It shows that just day dreaming and believing in dream without working towards it is an act of futile. As it is rightly said, one who keeps on reading without applying his knowledge gets into lazy habit of thinking. Just thinking about the D-day and not working towards it do not bore the fruit. Had all our freedom fighters kept on believing in their dream of Independent India without working towards it there would not have been the nation which has not only carved its way but also acts as guiding light for other. Dreams need to be rational, goal setting needs to be objective, which is within individuals or nations capabilities. Irrational goals at times takes us along wrong path or does not let even start our journey towards dream Raja Ram Mohan Roy had a clear moral stand against menace of sati, he stood his ground, wrote against it, eventually leading to ban on practice of sati. Believing in dreams is ok, but what if one has ill motives or bad dreams. As Thomas Locke said, humans by nature are selfish, they will work for themselves at the cost of others. Rampant environmental destruction just for dreams of new house (urbanisation) or few resources for people, shatters dreams of other million like tribes and animals - which makes them loose their homes.

Adolf Hitler manipulated people of Germany to the extent that people adhered to "Banality of Evil" leading to Holocaust and killing of millions of Jews. Similar was the case of Mussolini. Despite believing in dreams, and working towards it, it might still lead to "failure". Failure are part and parcel of life, each failure comes with teaching, a lesson which guides us again on the path of success. In UPSC itself, despite various setback, there have been people who came out with flying colours. As Winston Churchill rightly said, success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is ones own rigour to keep moving forward matters. Keep up the belief, keep working to towards it, one day or the other you will knock on the door of success. In doing so, one needs to keep on introspecting oneself, one's own action to keep him on track. It is also important that even after achieving dreams and claiming a bright future for time being, one has to still keep up the equilibrium. maintain the forces of life. Rome a vast kingdom eventually fall - be it due to people ignorance or some elite people. In keeping up the spirit, Swami Vivekananda's words must echoe - "Arise, Awake and stop not till the goal is reached"
