How to achieve success in life? Honourable Chairperson, respected headmaster, teachers, and dear friends, Today, I'll confine my lecture to "How to achieve success in life:" Please listen carefully. So, dear friends, success is really vital in everyone's lives. Everyone strives for personal success. There is a popular phrase that "success is a journey, not a destination." How true this is! If we consider the lives of All successful people understand the reality of the statement. Everyone defines success differently. Success can mean many things to different people, such as solving a puzzle for a youngster, achieving good grades for an S.C.C. student, obtaining a contract for a businessman, or seeing the entire family together. Everyone wants to become rich and successful in life. To achieve ambition, there are many steps which are to be followed. First of all, we have to set our goals, which means we have to decide what we are and what we want to be. So, proper planning and execution of the plan are very important. The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching the goal, the tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. For great success, we need a lot of confidence, patience, knowledge, perseverance and hard work. We should not waste our time because time is money. Don’t compare yourself with any other person in the world. If you do so you are demeaning yourself. The main thing is that we should always think positively and never give up hope because many of our failures are the people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Always remember that the word “Impossible” means I'm possible and if destiny is accompanied by the three D’s: determination, dedication, and devotion, then everything becomes possible. We should learn from our own mistakes. We should always follow in the footsteps of great, successful people. Let's take the example of Dhirubhai Ambani. He was born into a poor family but struggled a lot. He achieved his goals and never gave up hope since he felt there was always room at the top. He kept optimism alive in his heart and did his best, and as you know, he was one of the world's richest industrialists. After all, no gains come without hardship. There is a famous adage that successful individuals don't do different things, but they do them differently. So work hard and continuously. God's blessings are always with you. Thank you for paying close attention to what I said. JAY HIND. |

Have you are wondered why soldiers are always clad in green? This is to enable them to camouflage themselves during wartime. Hiding in the jungles, their green attire blends into the surrounding trees and shrubs, making it difficult for the enemies to spot them.
Long before man-made use of camouflaging, insects have already adopted the tactic of disguise to escape from the clutches of their predators. By having body colour close to those of the rocks and dried leaves, they can escape from being pursued by the predators.
Butterflies and moths have developed a variety of camouflage strategies since they are quite defenceless and their predators are abundant. Possessing wings which resemble dried leaves help certain butterflies and moths to hide among heaps of dried leaves when predators are around.
Fortunately, not all insects choose the art of disguise to escape from their predators; otherwise, the world would be so dull and colourless. There are insects which assimilate the bright body colours of bees and wasps to escape from being pursued by their predator. Long ago, birds have already learnt to avoid brilliantly coloured wasps and bees in fear of their painful stings. Hence, over millions of years, many harmless insects have assimilated the bees and wasps by imitating. their bright body colours and shapes. In this way, they appear dangerous and hence ward them off.
The beefy, not only appears like the bumblebee in terms of body colour, even its hums sound similar too. The only difference is that the beefy does not have a stirring and is hence harmless. The hoverfly is another insect which imitates. the body colours of the wasps. Their bodies are striped yellow and black. The only deviations are that hoverflies do not have stings, and they have only one pair of wings each while wasps have two pairs each. These variations are hardly noticed by the predators and hence help them to escape.
