BEHIND THE SCENE

Having an hero or a mentor is fantastic. In fact I try as much as possible to encourage people who don't have one to do so.

But critical attention has to be paid to high incidence of hero worship.

When we have hero's and mentors, their influence is always enormous on us as individuals.

We tend to eat the same way they do,

Walk the same way they walk.

Talk the same way they talk and do virtually everything they do.

Those things that they do that we cannot do are the things that goes on in the back stage of their life. Those things are tagged "personal life".

While I do not question the ideology of the "personal life", I must be fast to state clearly that majority of those things labeled "personal life" are where critical life lessons reside.

And guess what ? Only few of our hero's and mentors have the gut to share them with us.

A friend of mine once attended a conference where one the guest speakers happens to be an hero from afar of his.

To my friends utter surprise, the guest speaker only talked about the upstage events of his life , which is full of glamour and all the cameras.

The troubles and travails of our hero's we really don't get to know. We just hear stuffs like "I came from an humble background and I am able to scale through the huddles of life and here am I today".

Sometimes we try to question them and hear how they overcame those hurdles of life. But those are the behind the scene events we really don't get to hear about.

But the fact remains those events occur.

Its not wrong that they choose not to share the back stage events of there life, Its just that some critical lessons of life are missed by thousands of their fans and men tees.

Here is the point: Don't always assume that everything you gain access to know about your hero's and mentors is all to them.

Never assume that everything is going on perfectly for them. ( you may just be wrong).

The back stage events, we really don't get to know.

All we just want to be is like them.

DEAR FRIENDS WHILE KEEPING YOUR ASPIRATIONS HIGH, AND HOPING TO BE LIKE YOUR SUPER HERO, BE PREPARED FOR SOME STERN LIFE REALITIES THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SHARED WITH YOU EARLIER.

ITS NOT ALWAYS SMOOTH AS IT SEEMS, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY AROUND EVERY OBSTACLE.

KEEP YOUR HOPES HIGH AND ALSO BE SMARTLY PREPARED, That way those realities will not surprise you.

Lets go a step higher. YES WE CAN.
