One struggling to achieve something should know that there are several
ways to make ends meet. There has never been one way self sufficient to all
destinations, sometimes even one destination can have several ways to reach,
except Heaven!
Take simple example of millionaires and billionaires in this world. Some
engaged in media business, some in manufacturing industries, some in software
design and development, and others in entertainment industry and so on.
Therefore, if one needs to become a millionaire, if you are to advise
him/her, you cannot just say; go start a manufacturing industry, of motor
vehicles for example. Does he/she have what it takes for one to be a motor
vehicle manufacturing industry tycoon? Or just because there are people out
there who started a similar business and make it through successfully!
Usually people fail in life and are unable to realize their dreams
because they force a path that they cannot walk through. There is a Bollywood
comedy movie I watched few days ago namely “Three Idiots”, man; it is really
teaching stuffs, not in a way many will like or appreciate, but still the
composer got it right and made it plainly clear: follow your passion (intense
enthusiasm, of something positive though) if you are to succeed!
Just take an example of someone forced to do something he/she do not
like. There is a Swahili saying “Unaweza kumlazimisha punda kwenda kisimani,
lakini huwezi kumlazimisha kunywa maji” which translates roughly as “You can
force a donkey to the well but not to drink water” How awesome this saying is!
People are usually not good in something they are forced to do. They
will eventually ruin it; spoil it just to show the one who forced them into it
that they are far from interested in their business. Just like slaves in some
parts of world who uprooted plants just to show that they do not appreciate
what their master was forcing them to do.
Now don’t get me wrong that when your boss instructs you to carry out a
certain activity in certain way you should apply your own ways; what I am
saying here is; when you have a dream that you wish to realize, it is you to
define the ways to make it true
