Formula for success

First rule for success is there are no rules and second rule is there are no formulas. Don't be mislead by the title, this is one person's interpretation with his level of (im)maturity. Now you read the statutory warning, let's dive into the details.

We will be talking about three things that make success possible in anyone's life. Timing, Leverage and Discipline in the same order. 

Timing, you can also call it fate. Life is not fair to everybody, suck it up. Some people are given fair shot than others at success. Some are lucky enough to be groomed towards it. This factor defines whether you will be born in antilla or Dharavi.  There is no bargain here, life hands it out to you and you have to live with it. We have seen rags to riches to stories, really great inspiration. But they are more of an exception than norm. Be inspired don't be fooled, just never accept fate's verdict, Keep fighting. Whatever anybody says Fate/Timing can turn your life upside down and unfortunately its not in your control.

The other two factors I am going to talk about at least you have them in your control. Lets talk about second factor "Leverage". What did you do with the opportunities life gave you ? How did you leverage them ? How did you react to the opportunities ? Did you find them exciting or just treated them like another work ? If you know leverage , chaos will turn into an opportunity for you. There will be someone complaining about rain and someone else trying to sell umbrellas on the other side. Even if you have the best fate and you don't leverage you might be Anil instead of Mukhesh, last name is still Ambani.

Third and most important factor is Discipline. After you are given a good fate (timing) and you leverage all the opportunities right way to reach pen-ultimatum, this is the factor that is going to make difference if you are the one making history or just another player. People behavior changes once they reach top of their career. Some people are like let me enjoy what I gained with lot of hard work. But very few will be like I want to make history with what is given to me so far. They Keep strong routine, still the burning desire to succeed. This factor will decide if you are Vinod Kambli OR Sachin Tendulkar.
