POSITIVE ATTITUDE BRINGS POSITIVE RESULTS

By Best Motivational Speaker In India Dr. Abhishek Srivastav

“The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.”

–  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

A boy from Syracuse (New York), was labelled a dyslexic when he was just seven. His friends would harass him and his school teachers would humiliate him. This is how he describes his early days,“I would try to concentrate on what I was reading, then I‘d get to the end of the page and have very little memory of anything I had read. I would go blank; feel anxious, nervous, bored, frustrated, dumb. I would get angry. My legs would actually hurt when I was studying. My head ached.” He went to three different high schools and each time he would try to hide his disability. Soon, it would be discovered and he would be sent off to remedial reading. He raised his hands very often in class, only to ensure that his teachers noticed him and give him extra points so that he could just about make the passing grades. Even when he had to complete his homework, he would first dictate it to his elder sister, make her write it down and then copy it word to word. His parents got separated when he was just 12, and he along with his sister Lee Anne, moved with his mother to New Jersey, where she had to work in three jobs simultaneously to earn enough to feed the family. Everything in his life seemed hopeless. He finally managed to clear High School but failed his undergrads as he was a ‘functional illiterate.’ He loved to learn, wanted to learn but the dyslexia was debilitating. (Many times, he would even forget that when the fuel gauge in the car falls to ‘E’, it needs refueling.) He decided to move to Los Angeles to become an actor.  Even then he was struggling badly to pass auditions because he simply couldn't read the script. He started requesting others during the auditions to read the script and the directors to talk about the characters and the film. He wanted to give it all up many times, but whenever he did, all he remembered were his mother's words – “You have got so much potential. Don't give up.” These were the words that motivated him constantly and galvanized his spirit. In 1983, he landed his first starring role in the film ‘Risky Business.’ He got noticed. Two years later ‘Top Gun’ was released which grossed 343 million dollar and made him a millionaire (he earned $2 million from the film)! Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is his name; Tom cruise is how we know him – the winner of 3 Golden Globe Awards (and nominations for three Academy Awards). Tom Cruise then a dyslexic with poor memory and today a certified-flying pilot, a millionaire-producer and one of hollywood’s most popular stars.

The changes of fortune, fall from prosperity, sudden misery and tribulation are synonyms to life. However, the question is whether man is going to endure ‘the slings and arrows of an outrageous fortune’ or by taking arms against them, end them or just make an abject surrender to them and thus bring more misery and sorrow into his life. Obviously, the duty of man is to put up a heroic resistance, a bulldog determination against the sea of troubles and fight these evils without succumbing to them. I do agree with you that sometimes in life tragedy hammers you so brutally as if everything is shattered. Catastrophes terrorize you. Pain becomes ruthless. Having been severely wounded by the unpleasant experiences of life, you feel severely depressed. You have to suffer terribly for no fault of yours. Eventually, you begin to lose faith in yourself. You start doubting your originality. Your belief system becomes negative. Your value system goes low. But my dear friend, you know something - Every tragedy has a spark of triumph behind; every adversity provides an advantage for the fuller and greater flowering of manhood. You should have the attitude of a winner. Every winner is a winner because he has motivated himself to keep trying and keep failing. Falling down tragically at any venture in our life is one of the most agonizing, embarrassing and scariest human experiences. But it is also one of the most educational, empowering and essential parts of a happy and successful life. Our attitude determines our altitude in life. A positive attitude with consistent actions and commitment make us a great human being.
