Why do people fail after getting success? This is the biggest concern of every successful individual, the fear of losing the success.

One of the biggest reason that the success doesn’t last long is, “People strive for success”. If you strive for success it won’t last long, on the other hand if you keep on striving for EXCELLENCE, success will follow.

In the movie, 3 Idiots, Aamir Khan, always keeps on telling Madhvan and Sharman to strive for Excellence and not for success. The movie very well depicts what happens, when you strive for success and when you strive for excellence.

Aamir Khan, has stressed on choosing a profession, in which you have passion. If you don’t have passion for what you are doing, you cannot excel. You may get success but this success doesn’t last longs. And this is where most of the people suffer. Many of the people choose profession just because somebody, most probably their parents, wants them to go in that profession. But this is not right.

If you choose a profession in which you have the passion, you will have fun, you will enjoy working, you will strive for excellence, you’ll be happy and this is what real success is.

So don’t run behind success, run behind excellence and success will run behind you :)

    Man , this is outstanding as i had not got before why many say “strive for excellence ” but they did not said the real reason behind it . This is a good suggestion for indians as many youngsters fearing about future are not going where their heart is and i am an example (where my heart lies in humanities but due to parents pressure i had done engineering) . But god , due to my conscience i opted for economics masters in NUS Singapore , now it is fun and peace in me though my friends thought of me as mad opting out of engg , god send an answer to me in the form of internship at world bank.
