Quality 2 : Stay Positive

One of the toughest and best qualities that my father possessed was to stay positive in spite of any hardships, incessant  negative comments and adversity!.
He saw light at the end of the tunnel where there wasn't any! which defined his attitude towards life!No matter if criticized, he would move ahead but kept in mind the pit falls as well. Hence to take a calculated risk and have the urge to learn and challenge oneself by sheer dint of will power and hard work was his legacy. An embodiment of positive attitude towards life was his credo!

Quality No.1: Not to give up

Not to give up: this is the first lesson that I have learned from my Dad, my father.
It is not in the intelligence or the dullness of a person that mattered to him. It was, and is, the amount of effort, the sincere hard work that one puts in, is what mattered to him. Not to blame one's circumstances but to adapt and raise above one's inferior thoughts, circumstances, inadequacies and build upon the strengths and weaknesses is what he believed in!
   To put to action one's words and compete, be a contender and not worry about critics or insults or any other negative comments is what he believed in!
This, according to him, naturally entailed a winner!One who is baptized by fire and soak any amount pressure that has one to face in life.
One can develop in to a competitive person with the attitude to challenge mediocrity is what he believed in!
