By, Priya Bisht, BMM Student of SJMC Sem.-3rd School of Journalism & Mass Communication You see many people around you and try to copy their qualities which you find very well for yourself or for your future, It can be a way of talking, gestures or anything else. But don’t you think that you are losing yourself? I am not saying it’s bad to accept other habits but we never focus on our own habits Why? Is it that hard to appreciate yourself or you don’t want to do it. Just because you can’t see the light in yourself doesn’t mean someone else can’t see too. Remember, Life is not difficult but we make it difficult for ourselves. You just degrade yourself, you never see well in yourself. Just ask this question to yourself, ‘Why do you do that?’ We only have one brief life, if you spend it in being someone else who you’re not, then sorry you’re doing wrong. Be yourself because you know the real you better than others. Hard work is what we chase for, but try to cherish yourself too. We look others but not ourselves. One decision can change your life. If you know how to make yourself proud of what you’re then I don’t think you need to learn something else. May be you think luck is something which helps a person to become a better person with good status. But the reality is that your hard work is something that makes you a real achiever.
