    Ups and downs are part and parcels of life

    It is said that everything that goes up also comes down. A rocket goes up and comes down when all its fuel is consumed. The share market goes up and down depending on whether it is a bull or a bear run. During summer, the temperature rises up and falls during winter. In a similar way, our lives also travel a zig-zag way with many uphills and downhills. Sometimes we are burdened with the hardest of struggles and at other times, life is a cakewalk for us. However, one thing that should not go down is our will, spirit or enthusiasm for life, no matter how bad things might turn up for us. Whether in the best of times or the worst of hardships, never lose hope or fail to see the beauty of life. It is when we start accepting life as a roller coaster with its numerous ups and downs that we are able to let go of our worries and disappointments. It is because she could not manage her anxieties when chips were down that a TV actress recently did suicide over a failed relationship. Realizing early that not worldly possessions, but leading a life where you are more of a giver than a taker, helps you accept the ups and downs of life and that in turn leads us to true happiness. Even the mighty Sun after being up the whole day, also has to come down before nightfall everyday.

    There is no substitute for hard work, determination, and focused approach in ones life. Unfortunately, very few people have that type of mindset and that type of zeal and vigour in their thoughts. The challenges of life cannot be met simply by dreaming, pondering, or thinking. What is required is a strong chain of actions and follow-ups whenever we take up a job or project or task. A half-hearted work will never reach its end. That will only waste some precious time in our lives.

    Ups and downs come in everyone's life but what matters is the way in which people cope up and fight with the adversities in their lives. One has to face them as escaping from them will never help.

    Knowledge is power.

    There might be many ups and downs in our lives but the only way to win the situation is to have positive outlooks in our approach. We might have met with the total failure in achieving our goal but that should not dampen our spirits. Outcome sometimes is beyond our hands and there is the possibility of failures occasionally but still with the strong determination and the continuous efforts could turn the game in our favour. Success is achievable with the positive spirit and retaining our confidence.

    There is a proverb in Telugu which means that going up is to come down only. We are born, grow and vanish. So our life cycle itself teaches us that ups and downs in our life are to be taken the same way. Getting on cloud nine when we are up and cooling down without hope when we are down should be avoided. Taking both in a similar way as part of our life will make us satisfied,
    When we face hardships instead of worrying about those issues, if we focus more and leave no stone unturned to come out of that precarious condition, we will be successful in our lives. One should know that worrying about the past may spoil our present opportunities also. So we all should learn from our past mistakes, and live in present with strong determination and hard work so that we will have a beautiful future. However, we don't know what twists and turns are there in waiting in our life and how many slips and slides we may have to experience.
