DOERS THROUGH DEDICATION

“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”

Great Achievers in the world, have nothing uncommon in them, But they went ahead a mile, from where their companions dropped.

It is easy to blame our fates for what we do not have. But how many can overcome the same and go ahead with the same. Dedication is one such value that gives us endurance and a persistent perseverance. Throughout our lives, day in and day out we come across many such people who have dedicated their lives to the cause they are living for. Easily said, it requires certain level of focus and commitment to achieve something.

Hellen Keller overcame her physical abnormality of being deaf and blind, and she became a teacher. For Hellen it was a fight to live a normal life. For Anne Sullivan, her Teacher it was a dedication of her profession to teach the most impossible student she ever had. Inspite of Hellen retorting in the initial month of classes and being very arrogant, Anne succeeded in developing the interest in Anne to get educated. Anne taught all the things to Hellen through touch. Once Hellen understood that Anne was trying to help her, Hellen never stopped and turned back in life. Hellen obtained her degree in Bachelor of Arts. Hellen love for communicating made her give many number of speeches and lectures. Anne stayed with Hellen for a considerable period till her health gave away. She was known as a “Miracle Worker”. Hellen moved around the world and raised funds for the blind and laid American Foundation for Blind. Keller also published 12 books. She also became a social activist for disabled.

For what would have been an impossible task was achieved by mere dedication of a teacher for her student.

People say if you dream and dedicate yourself to the dream you can move mountains. It was proved true by a simple man from a small village, a village in Bihar which was isolated from the rest of the world by a huge hill. Unable to witness the plight of the villagers to cross the hill everyday for basic amenities and after losing his wife because of delayed medical attention, a man rose against the hill. He continued his fight with the hill for years together and finally what seemed like a fairy tale became a history. Dashrath Manjhi, also called Mountain Man reduced the distance from 55km to 15km after 22 long years of committed work.

Dedication is an important principle which paves way to all other principles. Integrity, Discipline, Hard work automatically comes when we have dedication. Dedication is thinking that it is our responsibility to do something. When we consider something as our own, we go miles to achieve things.

There are many such ideal examples for dedication. Many great people achieved success only through dedication. Mahatma Gandhi fought for the Africans, thinking he was fighting for his own right. Bhagat Singh, Subash Chandra Bose died for their own independence. Mother Teresa served her own mother, brother, sister, father on the streets. The people in armed force are taught that they are fighting for their country thus saving their own families. Being dedicated towards a thing, we will even be ready to lay our lives for it.

In the corporate sector, having a dedicated employee is what is important. An employee who thinks the company is his own company, the people his own, the profit and loss his own. If an employee can think like that then he can go any number of miles to bring about success to the company. He will strive hard to bring success to his company. He will know to give value to his team mates. He will never lose his integrity, because he will be cheating himself. A dedicated employee tries all possible ways to bring about success in his work. It is the responsibility that comes along with dedication. Ones you hold yourself responsible for something, you can never go wrong in it.

Dedication is the key factor of success for an individual as a dedicated employee to the company. If we are dedicated there needed be a set of do’s and don’ts in the company to which the employees have to adhere. Because every employee would be civilized enough to discipline himself. Dedication is not only about commitment, but it also develops discipline, responsibility, integrity, determination, hard work etc.

“Success in Life is a matter not so much of Talent or Opportunity as of Perseverance and Dedication.”
