Anomalies in the behavior of so many characters around me during their traversal of path for success, their arguments, justification for their failures has given me enough grounds to dwell into this topic.I am not going to buy this argument of yours my friend that... I might have done this, I was not in mood , this is not my cup of tea....blah...blah........pls cut this crap and let me say only one thing boss..... "Jo jeeta wahi Sikander". I agree to the fact that the way you have achieved the goal is more important than the winning itself but at the same time you can't refute the ultimate reality that after following the right ways too you could have achieved the same goal and the final barometer universally accepted is nothing but the result.
Sometimes I think the goal is more important than the ways to achieve it.
Fascination towards the right ways must be abandoned the instance they start hampering the very idea of your goal and the right ways themselves becoming your enemies.
You all must have whistled at, praised the role of the angry young Amitabh in "Zanzeer" who broke the law to get his goals which he was unable to achieve as a Police Inspector. I just don’t want to be a hypocrite and would say Winning is the most important thing. Infact, winning is almost everything sometimes and you have to forget everything else to hit the bull's eyes. Consider the movie "Jo Jeeta wahi Sikander" where it was almost do or die situation for Aamir khan to win the match for his brother, his father who says "Jo Jeeta wahi Sikander".
Consider again the case of devastated Kabir Khan of "Chak de India", the guy struggling for his name and fame and above all on the mission to prove his credibility to this hypocrite society. For him winning was everything.
I know for this I am going to receive a lot of flak but then a small deviation from the correct path, if in totality, leads to the final deliverance of the well-intended goal then it is justifiable. where you put the bar for this deviation may be different. Always following the right path and leading nowhere is unacceptable to me.
Let me site some examples from history in my favor. As per my understanding history is not only meant for reading; its to enlighten us, to make us learn from the mistakes of others and to inculcate some of the features of the great personalities which are highly eulogized.
For instance take Sri Krishna:- he has always attracted me in ways more than one, according to me he was the one person who has defeated the entire Koravas with his wit only...some of the ways for e.g. the trick to Kill Drona the way to kill Bheesm etc.....are examples where you have to use the fraudulent means to achieve the target since the same is in favor of entire humanity......don’t take me wrong I am not talking here about humanity....I only viewed the same in the paradigm of achieving one's objective.... OR
Consider Rama's case, he has given patronage to Vibhishan and Goswami Tulsidas has eulogized him as the savior this being the one part...I guess Rama was one of the best politician and diplomat, he knew in advance that this guy was his key to his win against mighty Ravana and hence involved him in his campaign... OR
take the case of Chanakya whose only target was to bring every region of this India under one roof under one umbrella. Under one king and to overthrow Nanda Samarajya.....and he has achieved it by his tricks and his will power, his diplomacy..... OR
consider the modern day example of movie "Guru" where the guy follows some fraudulent tricks to move forward carrying along the general public.
Sometimes it’s the necessity of the hour to leave behind the correct path and achieve the goal. Sportsman spirit says: It’s not important to win the game but is your participation. I agree to it but my emphasis is to participate and win, since I am not participating to give the crown to others.
We (including me) must have an urge and desire to break the cobwebs surrounding us and ultimate, indomitable perseverance to achieve the goal. I don’t know While reading "Mein Kemf" (“My Struggle”) by "Adolf Hitler" I have seen this urge in this guy to re-unite great Germany. Though his ways were extreme but his intention was right as far as re-unification of Germany was concerned.
On failures we tend to justify our ego, I think with an impulse we are bound to justify ourselves, and we don’t juxtapose the failure reasons and remedies and just try to overlook the obvious thing. I know you might have tried your best to overcome some of the difficulties, you will say this was wrong ...that was wrong and I have done everything that was in my hands I will say only one thing sir..."Jo jeeta wahi Sikander".
Rules of the game can’t be different for different persons, so, if ever I say I was not in mood so didn’t do it..... You just say one sentence "Jo jeeta wahi..." and I will be back on track.....!
