How aim helps to achieve success

          A student to be successful must keep an aim in life. A life without an aim is just like a ship without a rudder. Infinite paths and objectives do appear on the way of one's life and so, one is always likely to be confused about where to go and which path to choose.

An aim is like a lighthouse giving us the right directives so that this short but precious human life can perform its real purpose. An aim of life saves us from being shattered and scattered, from being baffled and lost.

If this is the case why should not a student choose this sort of modality? Out of so many concepts a good student should possess, high aspiration and a sublime and workable aim are also some.

A  student should not choose a utopian aim. Our aim must be scientific and logical. For a good student, it is suggested to have two kinds of aim in life.

One is a big aim in which one's search must be pointed towards the achievement of eternity and infinity. The second or the secondary aim, a student should have, is to give his present life a practical expression by being himself an expert in his profession, maybe a doctor, or an engineer, or an advocate, or a professor, etc.

The secondary aim may be thought of as the infrastructure of the primary aim, which must always be directed towards spirituality. The religion of Hinduism says that there are infinite impressions of one's actions, existing in subtle forms as negative and positive seeds.

The past algebraic sum of these positive and negative impressions gives us a resultant tendency known as "Swadharma" (Innate temperament). The evolution of this innate temperament can make one an expert of a particular discipline of knowledge.

So, before a student chooses his aim of life, let his innate nature be studied and expressed. If the innate temperament is inclined towards the engineering profession, let the student move along that track, which eventually makes him a good engineer, and similar episodes can be envisaged for other professions.

A man whose innate nature is not leaning towards the world of medicine, he should not be pressurized to take up that line. Even if the pressurization works out and the student studies medical science, all the promises of a good doctor will fail to embrace him. Such a man can never dream to become an expert doctor.

Every student aspiring to become a good student must understand that the degrees distributed by the schools, the colleges, and the universities are just like the licenses issued to ease out the burning competitions that prevail in the present-day society.

          In the real sense, a student's life is eternal, because the scope of knowledge is almost unlimited. The more one knows the more remains to be known, proving thereby the truth of the proverb "Man learns even in his death -bed." When a good student chooses his aim in life he should simultaneously think and work out the ingredients that help to fulfill such an aim.

Let the aptitude (Swadharma) of every student be studied. This study must be made by the student himself, his parents, other guardians, and his teachers.

Every student knows that no profession is superior or inferior to any other profession. Every profession is great in its place as it is an integral part of the master-plan game. All professions, which we witness in human society, are in reality not contradictory but complementary.

So a student without any hesitation and doubt should choose his landmark according to his inner call, innate nature because it is the evolution of one's innate nature that makes one an expert on the subject matter.

A student should choose a good school, equipped with a good physical environment and good teaching within the range of his capacity.

A good physical environment means good and sufficient infrastructures. Good teaching means the schools with good teachers, where knowledge and morality are taught and trained on equal footings.

A student from very early schooling should endeavor to become diligent even if he is an inborn genius. He should never miss the class; never neglect his home -works. He should never miss the practical experiments of science, psychology, and religion, etc.

Since life is not duty alone but beauty also, students should not neglect the importance of physical culture, which includes in its scope indoor and outdoor games, gymnasium, and Yogasans.

A good student is supposed to be engaged in constant practices and no intermittent adventures will work even if they would be of the shape and size of hurricanes and tempests. The practice must be slow, steady, and constant.

It should follow a nine-fold modality of success, -inquisitiveness, thinking, reading, writing, listening, oral expression contemplation, meditation, and physical culture as a common subject, thus rendering the entire adventure as a nine-fold endeavor.

That is why a good student should move forward in his life with a sublime aim and aspiration. His movement must be so scientifically designed that no hanky-panky activities should appear on the way as constraints.

The movement must be a smooth and soothing flow. Thus, a day will come that the inputs given by a good student would eventually be transformed into successful outputs, all conducive.

The closed valve will be opened inviting a perennial flow of experts. To be an expert and authority should be the aim of every good student, though this is just the secondary aim of life.

Every student should keep this truth in his mind that the primary aim of every man, no matter of what profession he is, is to merge himself into the world of spirituality, bringing forth thereby the light and delight of eternity and infinity. Because, when every profession reaches its saturation point, it spontaneously starts thinking that there is a supreme power behind the screen and this power is all-pervading, all-powerful, and all-knowing.
