Dear reader, what is the main mantra to be successful in life or to be successful in any particular work? Most people would answer that, the main mantra to succeed in life or any particular work is persistence and hard work. Maybe your answer is true. But if you have worked hard to succeed in a task but you have not succeeded. How will your mental state be then? You might be disappointed.

The indomitable will to work within you may begin to crack slowly. This is normal. Because people don't want to accept their failure. We all want to avoid failure. But those who choose a little bit of hope amid failure, start anew with a dewdrop of hope, are the ones who succeed in life. Hope is something that can be compared to a newly sprouted seed. If a very small seed is planted in the ground, one day it will grow into a huge tree.

Despondent people can never win the battle of life. They always lag and blame fate. If another person is successful and gets a lot of fame, he says, "Your luck was helpful. With the help of luck, you have achieved success". But that successful person had an indomitable will to not give up. If you give an example, you may get a clear idea.

You may not find an educated person who does not know the name of Thomas Alva Edison is forever remembered for inventing the encrypted telegraph systems, electric lights, audio recordings, modern batteries, etc. Through his work, he has made the world a debt. But we only discuss his success. Behind his success and all the unforgettable inventions were hard perseverance and hard work, as well as a handful of hope that overcame failure.

His life did not begin with such success Thomas Alva Edison was born in 1847 in Ohio, USA. But as a child, he was diagnosed with a complex disease called 'Scarlet Feeder'. As a result, he became almost deaf. He could only attend school for 12 weeks. Because he was such a bad student that the school authorities were unwilling to keep him.

A letter from the school was sent to his family and it read, "Thomas is very inattentive academically and his intelligence is not good. A weak student like him cannot be kept in school." But Thomas' mother kept the words a secret and told her son lies. He told Thomas, "Your talent is much higher than that of ordinary students. Schools can't teach a talented student like you. So you have to study from home."

After hearing such words from his mother, Thomas had a positive change in his mind. From then on, Thomas continued to study many complex subjects. He went on to become one of the most successful inventors in history as a result of the confidence his mother instilled in him. One incident in his eventful life may be known to all. He invented the first electric lamp. But he did not suddenly discover it one day.

He failed to invent the electric light nearly 10,000 times. Even after failing so many times, he did not give up. Finally, he succeeded. Even after he failed, he continued to try. He was not willing to accept defeat because of the confidence that was born in him. He did not accept failure. Because his inner confidence and optimistic attitude made him successful. Everyone's expectations and achievements in our life are not the same.

Sometimes people are heard saying, I have lost all hope, I have no more dreams. But does hope ever end? Does the dream run out? What we see in sleep are dreams. But whatever I want in life are real dreams. And these are called hopes. Simply put, people dream while they sleep and hope while they are awake. The scope of the dream is up to the time of sleep, i.e. the dream ends when you wake up.

But hope lives on until purpose is fulfilled. Hope lives in our hearts till death. Hope wants to achieve something by itself. Hope never ends in human life. A life without hope is like a false pepper. Hope is the renewable energy that powers life. People may be disappointed if their hopes are not fulfilled due to some reason but they do not give up hope. Again people started to hope.
