Question

They can, who think they can. Narrate an incident or an experience to bring out the truth of this statement.

Answer 1

When we prepare a list about things what we can do and what we can’t, we end up with more things in the column what we can’t do. We think that those things seem more difficult or uninteresting or unsatisfactory. Sometimes we try to do those things and fail in acquiring success, then we think we can’t do them. If we think that we can’t do a thing, it means that we’re not trusting our ability. If we don’t trust our own abilities, its sign of lacking self-confidence. Without our self-confidence, everything seems to be difficult or impossible. To build up our self-confidence, we have to believe that ‘we are able to do everything we want’. At first, I thought that cycling is difficult because many people said that they are injured while learning it. I don’t want to get injured, but I wanted to learn cycling. I tried to balance without having the two extra wheels, but I fell down. I tried again, but I got injured. When I failed several times, I thought that I can’t do it anymore. Knowing this, my sister came to me and said, “The words ‘impossible’, ‘I can’t do that’ and ‘It’s hard’ are meant for losers and are said by them. If you think you can do it, you’ll be able to do it without fail. Now, go and become a winner.” Her words, built up confidence in me. In spite of my injuries, I tried hard to learn cycling. Finally, on the third day, I learnt cycling without having the balance wheels. I would quit if I thought it impossible. I thought that I can learn cycling, so I learnt it because of my self-confidence and hard work. Finally, I conclude that we can do it, if we think we can.

Answer 2

                                   They Can, Who Think They Can

Henry Ford has very wisely said: “Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.” The difference between winners and the losers is the difference of this belief.  The former believe they CAN DO IT; and the latter believe they CAN’T DO IT.       

Success is not possible without conviction. There is not a single example in the entire human race that is an exception. All great personalities and personages, who have left indelible prints of their lives on the sands of eternity, are the men and women who believed they could do it and converted their failures into success. The list is endless: Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Socrates, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Charlie Chaplin, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Helen Keller, Mahatma Gandhi, and so on.

All the above mentioned names share one common thing; they were not quitters; they were winners. They knew the secret to be successful. They faced myriads of obstacles and hindrances without compromising with their vision and mission. They were ready to face as many failures as were required in order to be successful. Helen Keller, who lost her hearing and seeing power due to sum fatal disease in her early childhood, faced the darkness of failure on almost every step of her life! Did she give up? No! She diligently sowed the seeds of her hopped and aspirations in the dark soil of failures! She always believed she could achieve success. What a miracle women she turned out to be! She is one of the most successful women the world has ever known! Not only she learnt to speak; she earned a degree for herself from Radcliffe College. She became a famous figure of inspiration and perseverance. She bettered and inspired many lives!

So in conclusion we can say that people who believe they can, tend to be successful.
