Quite a time I guess , I would have felt my keyboard.
Staying away from it has never been so easy. Daily drama of living moment
With unproductive things definitely stales my mind. Anyway did anyone wondered
How miracles happen? I guess none of it happens till the time you burn all your
Boats. Before I can even connect it to my point lemme tell you all a story.This story is very special to me as well because I have seen the motivation it used to pump in during the last days of my deadlines. My manager Sridhar was the first one to narrate it to me and I am sure if at all my other colleagues are reading it , they remember our good old days.
Alexander the Great’s powerful army spent years overwhelming
Opposing armies in their conquests. His men were fierce and swelled with the
The confidence that comes with consistent victory. Yet when Alexander and his men
Arrived on the shores of Persia they were visibly outnumbered. Clearly
outmanned, his men pleaded that it would be wise to go back and get more men.
Alexander responded by ordering the men to burn their boats. As their only
Means of the retreat went up in flames, legend has it that Alexander turned to his
Moan and said, “We go home in Persian ships, or we die.”
What I love about this story is that Alexander the Great made one
Of the bravest decisions anyone can make by intentionally removing his
Options. His command sent a message to his men, but more importantly it
Puts them in a new position: one defined by focus where there is no other
Option but to do your absolute best… or be defeated.
Perhaps this is what we call living on the edge. Be it your Personal desire, your business or anything which you dream , till the time we
Have options it might turn out to be a failure too. To get it
I guess its time for us to burn all our boats and live the day
To achieve it thinking it is the last day of our life.
in a nutshell yu wanna say screw the situation so much that yu dont have any option but just finish it with a bang... Like the positivity as if one has no option, one will definitely do best or may be more than the best... But on a hindsight if yu have burnt your boat, it also means you were in a situation where yu left things in such a disarray that yu cant just go back.
