Leave noone behind

Are we the only ones who are struggling for success, working day in and day out? Are we the only ones who are involved in social works? Are we the only ones getting higher education or doing high paid jobs?Are we the only ones who speak in public? Are we the only ones who write? No. So many people like us are out there. Huge crowd of aspiring beings like us are working as hard to turn their dreams into realities and we too are parts of them.

The first and the foremost thing we need to know is that we are not the only ones: we are not the only ones who are suffering, we are not the only one who are growing, we are not the only ones who seek attention or recognition and most importantly, we are not the only ones who want to be successful beings; in the field we desire. There are a lot like us. You may think why I am telling you all these because it's a good thing to have as many people like us.

Yes, it's a good thing. But the problem with us is that in course of accomplishing our dreams, we often overlook the dreams of others. We move faster towards ours. We don't care who we have left behind. And we may get envy, we may get jealous of people who are really very good in their fields. We may hate some for no reason.

Today's world is growing in the lightening speed, undoubtedly. Lots of new ideas and dreams are coming out of  millennial youths. In a way, youths are having competitions: to move faster and reach ahead of others. But nobody thinks that instead of competing with eachother, if we compete with ourselves, the world will be a better place. Instead of leaving behind others, if we leave behind our jealousy and envy, learn from each other instead, may be we will move more farther, together. 

Forget not that life is a journey which, with little happiness for tomorrow, with joy, with challenges, with success and sometimes, with failure, is waiting at every step to share them with all among us and now it's time to march the steps together because we, as a generation, have miles to go and together, we can. LEAVE NOONE BEHIND. Let's us all make it to the end, for it's not about 'I' or 'You', It's about 'Us', all of us.

Let me end this with a poem.

Embedded within, the desire to move on since birth 
I Marched on and on
Looking for my ambitions
And accomplishing them all
Getting happiness and satisfaction out of them

With the passing of time, being more and more conscious of my life's purpose
I Moved on and on
Overlooking rest of the world

Lately did I realize that all this time
I had become self-centered
Having focused only on my dreams
In a way I turned to a selfish being
Not giving damn to dreams of rest of the world

Yet, dreams are dreams ,be it mine, your or others'
In the course of achieving mine, I had no rights to hamper that of others'
But
Shattering their dreams on the way of achieving mine
Made be nothing but a  selfishly self centered fellow

So let us all not be selfish. Leave noone behind.
