        We read many books and articles to know as to how to succeed in life and what should we do to reach our targets. Many refer hardwork, dedication, patience, courage, planning, vision etc. to succeed in life. But, by merely reading about the books and articles, we may not get the required motivation to stand and succeed in life. But, when we listen to successful people and the people who struggled alot and come-up in life finally, we tend to get motivated. Many successful personalities like Barrack Obama, Dr.Abdul Kalam, Stefen Hawking etc. motivate many including me from time to time. We all need motivation in life and it keeps us going. We need not think about the people who do not take any risk at all, but, we are concerned about the person who tries to travel in an unexplored or unknown path.  The principle of management is that 'the more you take risk, the more you get benefited'. We all know that profit always accompanies risk.

        Some may be privileged with all the required back-up and with the privilege, they get greater positions in life and we need not bother about these people. It is not an achievement if a son of a top politician, gets an MP ticket to contest in the elections and if he becomes minister in the course. But, if a person like barrack Obama becomes a senator, then, it is an achievement as everyone admits. It is very easy to look at Barrack Obama after he has become the President of United States and to say that it is an achievement and he has achieved a great position in life. But, in his life journey and in the course of pursuing his dreams, he could have faced unbelievable difficulties. For the people who dare to dream high and try to travel in an unexplored path, motivation is the important factor. Barrack Obama has to wait for 42 years to get the chance to speak at 2004 Democratic National Convention. He has prepared for life time, to get the chance to speak at DNC and to introduce himself to Americans about his capabilities. Recently, a news paper has quoted the report that there were difference of opinion between Michelle and Barrack when he has tried to contest for Senate Seat. Barrack Obama has tolerated all this and overcome all the difficulties and finally has become the President of United States of America.

        As our Vivekananda says, all power is with us and we can do anything and everything. But, the one who dreams very high and wants to succeed in life, should learn that failures and set-backs are inevitable most of the times and one should not leave his effort until he reach his goal.

        I have had the privilege of listening to J.K.Rowling and Steve Jobs of Apple Computers and their life is really inspiring and everyone will get motivated and definitely succeed if they wholeheartedly concentrate on their speech and follow what they say.

        J.K.Rowling has delivered a speech to Harvard and I believe that its one of the best speeches I have ever heard. Again, Steve Jobs of Apple Computes has delivered an address to Stanford University and it is also best like that of J.K.Rowling.

        You can hear the both “J.K.Rowling's speech to Harvard” and “Steve Jobs address to Stanford” through www.youtube.com. Please to go youtube.com and type "J.K.Rowling's address to Harvard” and “Steve Jobs address to Stanford University” and then you can listen to them.

I am beyond doubt that the readers will enjoy listening to both J.K.Rowling and Steve Jobs and I firmly believe that their speech is a "success mantra".

Its a very inspiring article.

More than anything its the VISION that enables a man to dream! Its his persistence and belief that keep him going. Its his patience and hardwork which spur him to realising and eventually its the acceptance that makes the dream a reality!

Well of all the success stories of people around the globe, the one that has always left an impression on me is the success of THE LEELA Group of Hotels!! Its the one which is close to where I live and will remain close to my heart too!!

Steve jobs and Rowling both have had been successful only because of their own skills. They had some concepts in mind which they materialized to results and they became successful. It was no nonsense adulterated success like any manager Bill Gates or Edison. Billgates and Edison became succesful because of their ability to understand and frecast market trends and satisfy consumers with their great management and analytical skills.
