essay on there is no shortcuts in life for success

After winning the championship golfer Arjun Atwal, says, "There is no shortcut to success. The only way to success is to do smart hard work which will lead to improvement."
The path to success lies through struggle, strife, hard work, sweat and some times even blood. To achieve success is not easy and to maintain it is even more difficult.
There is no shortcut to success. Temporarily shortcut may give us pleasure and happiness but later we may have to repeat on the same. The road to success is not strewn with roses. It is thorny and very long. Those who dare to cross this road and undertake the tedious journey with continuous efforts always find success at the end.
Firstly we should always define our aims, objectives, and priorities well with care and then pursue them honestly,with our full heart, mind and soul.
For success one needs 95% perspiration and 5% inspiration. There is no substitute for hard work. Patience, perseverance, perspiration, labour etc. form the rock foundation on which we can build our mansion of success. Most of the people fail only because there efforts are feeble and half- hearted. Tenzing Norgay, only a sherpa, became world famous for his conquest of Mount Everest by persistent efforts until he finally achieved success.                                  
Other necessary ingredients of success are strong determination, will power and motivation which are more powerful than atomic energy. It has changed the course of history and fortunes of mankind. People like Alexander, Chanakya, Hellen Keller, Napoleon were the embodiments of strong will power.
Our country India would never have achieved   independence by taking shortcut. It was the battle of 200 years by our freedom fighters like Rani Lakshmi bai, Bhagat Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru etc.

- Second, concentration is required if u want to carry out ur tasks efficiently. If you be distracted from st, your work efficiency will be reduced. Moreover u’re more likely to make unnecessary mistakes. Try to overcome all distraction to achieve ur success.
- Third, timing is a vital ingredient to success. Even for such a small thing, this is true. (Eg: in tennis, if timing is off, u may hit the ball too early or late. In business, you will lose a large amount of money if you buy or sell stock at the wrong time.) ---( experience
- Fourth, positive attitude is needed for success. It means that people have to believe that they can do it not be afraid that they can’t. In short, they should have confidence.
