Success

I was chatting with one of my seniors and we were discussing the topic of our mutual interest about academic success. I always took his words seriously and so did on that day. He said. "success is combination of consistency and hard work". The next thing, I did was to writer this nice formula on a sticky note and placed besides my computers LCD, so that I might see it every day. Success is really a thing which comes from hard work and consistent efforts. If you run very fast at the beginning of a race but lose stamina at the end, you won't succeed but if you keep striving with the same good effort till the end, probability of success increases manifold. 

A speaker came in the room and half filled the glass of water. People thought he will ask how much glass is full or empty but he did not ask that question rather asked, how heavy the glass of water was? People replied with variety of answers but he said it depends on how long you hold it. If you hold the glass of water for one hour your arm will start feeling pain and if you old for longer, may be your hand feel numb. So the same force applied for some time, can be huge. Similarly, if water drops on a rock for a long time, it can create a hole in the rock. So consistency is really important along with hard work to be successful.
