Spot on Maitreni, it is like hitting the nail right on its head :). I like that you use the word being calm here, that is something which is so easily missed out on our journey. It is so easy to be agitated and think that we have got things under control, only to realise that we are wasting our time in useless actions. A really smart approach can be to be a bit calm about it and collect our time to take the decisions and make our next move..

Very beautifully put Maniparna. The dream, trust, intuition all of them together culminate into an absolute conviction to drive the determination to achieve the success we desire. I have always wondered what makes things click and by experience so far I realise that it is always a combination of things and each time one of them seems more important than the other. I really like how determination works in tandem with other emotions to give us the results we want so dearly.

Nicely explained as always, Vinay… :-)

A very relevant question Lata. Coming to think of it, I guess both of them are intertwined. Motivation starts making sense only when it is followed by action and determination ensures a continued action. And for continued action, we need motivation. So I guess we can perhaps use these words interchangeably.

Thank you Purba..

Thank you Vishal. I really believe in that. I have met some people who are amazing at that, I have seen them work madly at a goal which is just at its start and carry that vision on.

I agree, working hard comes naturally to them and with that commitment, a huge result can be realised at ease. Of course on a logical aspect it sounds straightforward. It is amazing to make that come true and actually meet more people who are doing that cos they give us an immense amount of motivation to carry on.

Loved this point. As you rightly pointed out, it’s not because success is easy for determined people, but because working hard comes naturally to them that they succeed in the long run.
