The person went to the petrol pump and he asked for petrol for Rs-100, The worker pressed the code and starts filling in his bike, but unfortunately, the meter stopped at Rs-99.45 "Don't know, what could be the reason behind it," then the worker pulled the handle back and hang it on to the stand then the person said, what is this?, You need to pour the petrol for exactly Rs-100, i.e there is the possibility of Rs-0.55.

Suppose, you bought your favorite clothes and when you tried them at your home they were not that fit that the way you thought. Then you went for an alteration and you said, "Bhaiyaaa, can you please alter these, because they are not fitting me well, and I have seen that there is the possibility of alteration".

Figuratively speaking, suppose you are training for the competition of Mr.Delhi, and you are concentrating 100% on each and every day and on each and every muscle of your body. And one day, you thought I think I am ready for the competition but your training partner training along with you and he sees you sitting and full of tiredness and he said, you know what, the place you are going to compete, there is the guy named "Alpha," who has such a vast back, i.e. when he starts posing and opened his wings/lats then you standing at the back, won't be visible to judges. Then he realized that he needs to improve more i.e there is a chance of improvement.

"The words, written in bold, definitely indicating something. Hence after reading the above paragraphs, the conclusion we can infer is that there is some space between two edges that need to be filled. Then only we all got stopped, i.e. no more demand for alteration, the words like "Possibility and chances" got vanished from our dictionary but FIRST, we need to fill these space which is created by environmental factors or just because of our desiressss.

I HOPE you all understood the idea behind this blog. So this blog is dedicated to that guy who runs for improvement day by day and got successful. "Ummm, sorry, we can't say He successfully achieved that fate rather we can say that His present situation is much better than the past situation. I know you all can recite English alphabets i.e from A-Z in a few seconds, similarly to read this blog, you will take "few seconds + few more seconds", Hence stay tuned.

"You know, what I thought, I thought few people try to jump directly on the conclusion of the story, please don't do that because by doing so, you will miss, how he/she handles his failure or by walking on which path he/she has got success. Sometimes we have to analyze the path he/she walks rather than analyzing the conclusion. So without wasting any minute, let's begin with the story.

"Steve" was known as the Himalayan guy as he was too stubborn even in his daily life schedule. He lived with his mother and father. He was an introverted sort of personality, who enjoys the company of himself. The story of being introverted is that earlier he was in school, where he got enough friends to enjoy, and from a very young age he had started doing a night out's at his friend's home. But as we know, "time does not remain the same throughout life", soon "Steve" had been expelled from the school for the notorious behavior and later he got admitted to another school, where he was alone. He started feeling lonely in that new school. But later after school hours, he went and met with his friends. Gradually he starts missing meeting with his friends because of his new school busy schedule and after-school tuitions. Friends from his Friend's list starts decreasing. They all got busy in their individual life cycle including "Steve".

"Time wheel won't stop for anyone", he started focusing on the study and got cleared his 10th and 12th with flying colors and got admitted in college, which was a few kilometers away from his home. His schedule was very hectic, as since morning he was in college after when he arrived home, he went to sleep and then snack time evolved, then study time, then dinner, then again study and finally, he went to sleep to get energized for the next morning.

In that basic hectic sort of schedule, he captures himself in snack timing, which he used to spend with his mommy. "I'll tell you what had happened in that time frame". In that frame, he used to make tea for his mother. His mother never complained about the tea he used to make, but one day, "Steve" had seen that his mother was pouring the tea in the kitchen sink. "Steve" felt too upset about that behavior.

In the aftermath of this event, "Steve" won't stop making tea for his mother as he doesn't want to acknowledge his mother that he knows about that event. He seated there until his mother finished her tea. But she hadn't said a single word. "What we can infer from this, Is she deceiving "Steve" in terms of TRUST domain? or she was playing her role of MOTHER?". Later she thought that it is not the proper way of teaching, I think, I should tell him. The next day, when "Steve" came with a cup of tea, she exclaimed with sorrow that "Steve", the taste of tea sucks, and she admit or revealed about all previous events and I think, you need to improve it.

Although, "Steve" already felt dishearted by remembering that scene, and his mother also confessed her mistake. "Now, at that sort of the point, most people do what? they dropped the situation completely or start finding other's mistakes", but "Steve" was not that sort of guy you all are thinking. "As we know, we required two hands for clapping", similarly here the whole mistake wasn't of "Steve", his mother also played her role by not confessing. "The most amazing thing was that he agreed for not knowing the proper way of making tea and went on to the journey of SELF-IMPROVEMENT".

Now, most of the people thinking that why not "Steve" started early, when he get to know, that his mother won't like his tea?, Because "Steve" wants that his mother says own it own that "Steve" I don't like this or this tea doesn't taste well. "Now, some more people started thinking that, this is very bad, "Steve" wants her mother to bow in front of him?, No, A BIG NO, please try to understand the situation, keep it as general as much. Look, keeping someone in dark, not highlighting the mistakes, or bearing the sour taste of the event we don't like, are all BAD things. "Now, I want to end this debate, as we can stretch this as much as we can, just because "MOTHER" is soooooo sensitive word". But remember the phrase "clapping".

"Later, what happened that," "Steve" from the next day onwards started his "old school habit" again, but with the thought of improvement. He rose up but with a different sort of mindset. Now, it was his first day of Improvement, as usual, he made tea but his mother said, "Steve" color is not well. Another day i.e the second day of Improvement, his mother said you know na, I don't like much sugar. "Ok, no problem", on the Third day, he tried again but by mistake, he pours tea leaf more than required. On the fourth day, He boiled more in order to make a strong tea. On the fifth day, "he thought he can't do because he won't be able to handle rejections, while on the other side his mother had made up her mind, as she wants to correct "Steve" on each and every day". On the sixth day, he summons all his strength of his mind, and he thought "I can do it", "He realizes all his mistakes and see, magic happens", and he made the perfect cup of tea and finally he got approved.

"At that point of scale, few of you thinking, maybe his mother had approved just because of "Steve", as he was her child, sorry guys, I don't think so, because If she wants to do that, she had done already on the second or fourth day". But his mother was with him to support him. And finally, He achieved that feat.

See guys, Examples are ample from worst to best or from complex to easy. But what matters is, look for those examples which suit you, easy to understand. More clear the frame, the more clear we can imagine or understood. That's why I prefer these types of examples. What matters most is that how much we are able to gather the information from any example. Now, I would like to end this blog with a conclusion.

People have excuses but there are other people who have solutions, I would like to pick a few of them which hamper our growth and stopped us from growing INCH BY INCH.

1. Inner world: I don't have money, Outer world, that's why we have to do this.

2. Inner World: I can't do it, Outer world, don't worry bro, there are other people who can.

3. Inner world: No one has supported me, Outer World, It doesn't matter.

4. Inner world: I don't know anything, Outer world, then why should you don't learn?.

5. Inner world: I don't think parents agree, Outer world, then how you can agree world?.

6 Inner world: It scared me, Outer world, victory is beyond fear.

7. Inner world: I think I should wait, Outer world, the waiters get what the chasers lose.

Hence, Don't lose hope and Don't surrender. Just stay hungry, try to learn from mistakes, Don't lean on them. And yes, If someone loses hope completely then try to FIND MEANING OF YOUR LIFE. I would like to end this blog with this beautiful quote of "joseph murphy", i.e

"A MAGNETISED PIECE OF IRON WILL LIFT ABOUT TWELVE TIMES ITS OWN WEIGHT BUT IF YOU DEMAGNETISED THIS SAME PIECE OF IRON IT WILL NOT LIFT EVEN A FEATHER".
