"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve; the fear of Failure"
-Paulo Coelho
The above quote states it clear what my post is all about. "Failure" &"risk"..almost every human being fears to face these words.. to say "failure is the pillar of success" is much easier than to face it in real life..Most often we see parents suggesting their children to follow a safe path..be it in terms of education, or anything else..the reason they state behind this logic is -" your life will be secured" ahhh!! is that always true? is it confirmed that if we move out of the basic rules and take a bit of risk in life then we will fail, and never stand up again. Nah!! I guess I and my parents dont fall in this category of thinking..Both my parents are DOCTORS,as a normal expectation/so called norm of the society,i am also supposed to be a doctor...but no I have chosen Acting as my profession..I must admit after accepting this profession, I have learnt a very important word in my life "PATIENCE" ..I agree almost everyday I am facing rejections, but still everyday is a new begining for me, a new challenge..in the midst of all failures when I achieve success, that feeling is just priceless... someone told quite rightly..failing several times will make you learn the path to success...thats true...
I idolize a Persona in my life..He is none other than THE AMITABH BACHCHAN. Not only do I follow his acting career but also his life graph, His nature, His dedication..This man have achieved a lot, have lost a lot and have regained a lot.The time when HE stepped into this industry,it was a time period for the good looking heroes.. at that phase enters a tall,lean, deep baritone voiced man. The amount of rejections this Persona faced, I guess if that is faced by any of todays budding actors. Height and voice were his biggest negative aspects at that time..but then these two features became his signature along with the powerful acting..Amitabh Bachchan before stepping into this industry had a secured job, a secured life..but this man left the security in the wish to acheive His dreams.. that was the risk taken... rejections were his life's moment of failure...and the stardom & the fan followings are his moments of achievement that came after those failures..He introduced a new era in the industry (THE ANGRY YOUNG MAN) ..He faced failure in the field of politics...but He learnt a very important lesson from that sphere..He faced failure in the field of production, but again gained success..this MAN at the age of 69 is still giving tough competition to todays gen actors,and above all has the capacity to attract fans of our age..ruling in this industry for 43 years and still so humble.. faces failure at this age too,but never an inche reduction is noticed in his committment..never fears to take risk..doing a different character everytime, proves his risks taking power at this age even..every single member of this Industry dreams to work with HIM.. age doesnt stop HIM from undertaking risks,trying out something new...and thus whatever HE does is a trendsetter...

There are many more personalities who could have been mentioned in this post...I have mentioned BIGB as i have studied this man and I am trying to embibe his qualities...we must have the courage to think out of the box..it doesn't always assure success,but that shouldn't stop us from trying...whenever one tries to think or do something different,he or she has to face rejections..another such great example is Dadasaheb Phalke..when he tried to do something different,he was opposed but the confidence of his worth, the execution of his task and the humility of his superiority made him a winner... Life without failure and risk would have been dull..experiment everyday...every new day in life should see something new withing us...

Never limit taking risks just because of the fear of failure...move forward..do your bit..success will be achieved...Success will never knock your door..you have to invite it,by your hard work...its never too late to try out things...failure is a part of human life..accept it and move on, that will make life easier and interesting
