Most people think that only some people are ‘lucky’ to get opportunities to succeed. But luck is an often misinterpreted term. It is smartness that actually makes people successful. Smartness here means much more than the way we dress, the way we talk or the number of educational degrees we hold.
Smartness is the ability to be aware and capable enough to capitalize on every opportunity that comes our way. Smartness is the ability to be at the right place at the right time, and with the right guidance. If we analyze the lives of successful people, we will realize that all of them have been smart enough to grab opportunities that changed their life.
How can we be smart enough to succeed?
There has probably been more than one occasion where you heard about someone who has made it big and told yourself, "I could have done that as well." Opportunities are always out there. It takes knowledge and awareness to identify, conviction and persistence to exploit.
Knowledge: In whatever profession we are, we should gain in-depth knowledge about every aspect involved. We should be the master of our trade.
Awareness: Once we have gained the knowledge, awareness will help us identify opportunities. To gain awareness, we should keep ourselves up-to-date with the latest happenings in our profession, as well as in general. We should be able to relate happenings with opportunities.
Conviction: We should then develop the conviction to pursue the opportunities that we think are right. We have to believe in ourselves and our goals. Strive to achieve them with passion and diligence.
Persistence: This is one word that has been used many times in articles. Our road to success will more often than not, be accompanied with challenges. Only conviction and persistence can overcome challenges.
The combination of the above four attributes culminates into smartness, which leads to success. And no one is born smart. We can always learn to be smart and grab life by the horns!

About Us
- Ashni - An Initiative
- "Ashni" \a-sh-ni\ is a word of Sanskrit origin and means "Flash of Light". Ashni is an initiative started by a small group of people who believe that the world can be a better place to live, who believe in the power of good and who believe that humans have the potential to achieve great things and grow. Just like a flash of light dispels darkness, Ashni will endeavor to enlighten and educate people with interesting, inspiring and motivating themes, through the medium of blogs. This is an initiative in which there is no leader, no follower and no ulterior motive. Our vision for Ashni is that it would finally form a strong community of people who are independent, empowered, full of values and in total control of their lives - ready to bring about a positive transformation in themselves, others and the world at large. Anyone who is a part of Ashni would only have to spare two to three minutes of their time to read the blog and try their best to implement the learning into their lives. Then, just experience the difference and spread the light!
