After a long gap of 2 months I am restarting blogging - inspiration series.
This motivation is from with in. It is a burning desire to overcome failures
and disappointment for decades and the result is to start all over. In these
two months I have seen the success of a great leader in India
- Narendra Modi. When a tea shop owner ( Narendra Modi ) could become the Prime
Mister of India winning the hearts of
millions around the world in a span of 3 months of resuming office as the Prime
Minister - Why not I? Is a question that inspired me?
May be one or two out of millions achieve these great honours - but still
they did. The honour did not come with in a day or two or with in months, but
over a period of time. Many of us may not know the hard effort, dedication,
desire and struggle this successful manwould have undergone before he
attained this unique fame and name. Let us look into his early
days and reason out his present stature.
Narendra Modi:
Early days
- Born on 17th September 1950 to a poor tea shop owner and helped his father in serving tea to people.
- He belongs to Ghanchi (oil-presser) community, a backward class.
- He himself ran a tea shop with his brother at the early age.
- His strength was participating in debates in schooling and enacting prominent characters in school drama.
Growth
- His life took a success turn when he joined RSS ( Ratriya Swayam Savak). He joined RSS not by default but with great interest. RSS leaders observed upcoming potential in Narendra Modi, his leadership qualities and appointed him as a full time pracharak or proponent and campaigner. RSS took notice of his achievements – During Indo Pak war in 1960’s Narendra voluntarily served soldiers and helped people during the floods in Gujarat in 1967. After formal training in RSS at Nagpur, Modi took a official position in the Sangh Parivar as in-charge of the student wing in the Sangh in Gujarat (Called ABVP). The political wing of RSS is Bharatheya Janatha Party (BJP) and Narendra took his first step in the political career. He succeeded his political career organizing yakatha yatra by BJP leader Murali Manohar Joshi. He was recognized as a prominent political leader and his first break as a popular person after becoming the Chief Minister of Gujarat and did remarkable service to people of Gujarat, He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat for more 4 terms in succession a rare feet by a any political leader. He made Gujarat a ‘Vibrant Gujarat’. He was acclaimed as ‘Best Chief Minister’ of Gujarat by a famous news magazine ‘India Today’ in 2006. In 2002 another news magazine ‘Times’ featured him on the cover page.
The
Real Challenge and then the Achievement
When
India is in
political turmoil and congress the then ruling party in Indian parliament lost its
long standing fame with scandals and disputes, Modi came out victorious as BJP
leader. He handled the general elections in 2014-11-23 all alone and BJP came
victorious in almost all contested places. This was a never heard story before
that a non congress government coming to power with thumping majority. But for
Modi’s determination, planning and effort this would not have happened.
After
becoming the Prime Minister he moved around many countries with one agenda –
development. His mission to capture the hearts of many foreign country leaders
is rising day after day. United States of America once rejected visa to Modi,
invited him to their land and there was a thumping response to
his meetings all over the country. India
expects a lot more from this dynamic leader in the coming years. They have
already seen a sample of his achievements in his three months tenure in the
office. Read more about him at PM India.
Coming
back to my ‘inspiration with in’ – story of a tea shop owner growing as the
Nation’s Head is constant handwork, vision, courage and determination. All
these qualities are with in us. Only thing is we should awaken these hidden or
sleeping qualities with in us and sky is the limit.
