We are great believers of 'luck'. They say; in life it is all about luck. Whenever something great happens we mark it as a coincidence. How many of us actually believe that destiny is the path that we choose; not what is given? We can all pick our goal and attain it. Unwavering faith and tireless efforts are the only things we need.

Look around and watch out for them who are ready to die any moment. If you ask them why; all of them would say: "I can't go on, I can't even start. You know what; I've got nothing left, just an empty heart." Fact is, you can; if you think you can. If we open our eyes and our hearts a bit more we will find the truth in it.

Often we wonder and gape at successful people and the work that makes them immortal. Have we ever thought that we could do something like that too? History suggests it is always passion for what you do that makes you unforgettable. No barrier can stand in the way of the human spirit, when it is awakened. If you just unfold the stories of glory you will find the triumph of human will power and ability against all the odds. Let us get into the immense human capability that can cheat any obstacle:

Take him home." That never stopped him from inventing thousands of important pieces for us. What is our potential then?
