All of us want to be successful and excel in whatever we are doing. But there is a price tag, on all we want in life. It is in the form of denying instant gratification for our long-term goals and cherished desires and purpose. Unless you know what you want in life, we will be like a rudderless ship. This has to be accompanied by a single-minded focus. Unless we seek knowledge and become excellent in our respective fields, there is no chance of our outshining others. Once we are off tangent from our goals, we loose our game completely.
