0:00 If you are ambitious and you have big goals but you are lazy, then this story is for you. It is a story of many years ago, there was a boy, let's assume his name was Karan. Karan was an average student in his school, he did not get much marks, he used to go for tuitions etc., he used to do some extracurricular activities but he was a better than average student, but his goals and ambitions were very big. He wanted to get admission in a very good college. He wanted to have an amazing job, a very good career and he had very big dreams, but those big dreams were never seen getting translated into actions. So he wanted to go into a specific domain of engineering and that domain of engineering was available in very limited colleges at that time and
0:46 as you know, in India, to go to an engineering college, one needs to have at least JE Advanced or JE Mains, so he prepares for it but unfortunately he does not score in JE Mains. Then he thinks that I will drop a year, I will take coaching and then I will apply with my full potential, so he drops a year, he prepares, studies, takes coaching but even then he does not score enough in JE Mains to go and take admission in his favorite college which is his dream college, so of course it was his ambition, his dream was that I should get admission in this specific college but he could not get admission in that specific college but at the same time like every student applies in different colleges, he also applied in another college where
1:31 his favorite domain was, so he said that let's go to this college, let's go to this university, now because this is not anyone's dream university or dream college, it was usually a backup option for people, so mostly those people came here whose top rank was in IIT or top NIT, let's say Triple IT or I suppose it doesn't happen there, so mostly people were here considering this college and university as a backup option, so he goes here now because only those people are here who are like him, you know mediocre or average, most of the people, so gradually he starts feeling that what have I done, I wish I had
2:18 worked hard, I wish I had converted my ambitions into actions, then maybe I could have gone to my dream college and studied, but gradually what he does is he realizes that it is very important to work hard, it is very important to put in efforts if you do n't want to be average, the same thought kept repeating in his mind again and again, while sleeping, waking up, eating, drinking, while studying that I don't want to be a mediocre career, I do n't want to be average and especially whenever there were people around him, they used to remind him again and again that a small job is enough, if he gets a government job in group C or even group D, then that is also enough Or no one used to
3:04 talk about doing their own work, everyone had small dreams of getting a small job anywhere and because of this environment, he kept getting more frustrated and he used to repeatedly tell himself that I don't want to become a mediocre career, I do not want to be average, I do not want an average job, I do not want a mediocre job and because of this, because this thought kept repeating in his mind, he used to take action, put in more efforts, acquired skills, did certification courses and also started creating content and then the event is that by the end of his college, he was the gold medalist from his college and he also got a job in a government organization where the food laws regulations
3:49 and rules or laws of the whole of India are set, friends, in this story I have told you a lie, this story is not Karan's, this story is mine, I was that student who was frustrated I was the student who went to that university, I was the student who got that gold medal and that job and now when I look back I realise that it was not a big feat. There are many people who can go to that organisation and get a job in FSSI and they do it and there are many people who get gold medals, there are many people who excel in their studies, there are many people who get amazing jobs or they set up their own great businesses but the problem is that
4:35 ambitious people have such big goals in front of them because what happens to normal people is that they set small goals and then they achieve them but the goal in front of ambitious people is very high and to achieve that goal because those who have ambition, they also have the you know logic, so they can see that this is a mountain that I have to climb, so I have to put in a lot of effort. Because this goal is so high and will it be right to put so much effort, is this direction right for me or should I work in another direction, is there more competition here, should I choose such a domain where there is less competition, then he remains engaged in this analysis and does not take action to reach his ambition, to
5:22 reach his dream and his mind keeps justifying it again and again that brother, first we should choose a right direction, after that we will start taking actions, but he forgets that without taking action, many times you do direction identification, I want to climax, this is his ambition, but the actions do not match up and whenever this gap comes in actions and your thinking, in your dreams, so this gap converts into disappointment and then
6:07 you and then this cycle is formed, you repeatedly think that yaar should I take action or not, how should I take action, you know back You live your lifestyle and then the ambition is there but if it does not translate into actions then you do not reach anywhere. There is a law of Newton, you must have heard that you know the law of inertia. A body which is in motion tends to stay in motion and a body which is in rest tends to stay in rest. So if you are in this motion, if you are in momentum, then it is easier for you to keep going. If you follow the same life style every day, do not take many actions, have big dreams but do not take any actions etc. It is very difficult for him and everyone to move to take action. So what is its solution? Its solution is actually very simple which
6:53 you must know, but to iterate, this is my job here. Whenever a big goal comes in front of you, like conquering the Himalayas, it is a huge mountain. So, to conquer this huge mountain, people do not think that they have to reach the top immediately, people think in steps, people think taking steps. One step and then they take another step and then they take another step. So what people do with such a big goal is they divide it into very small microscopic goals. Suppose I have to write a book, then I will not think that I have to write a book of 500 pages. I will think that I should first layout an outline, see the first chapter and write the first page of the first chapter. In the first page also I will try that if there are going to be 50 words or 100
7:38 words, can I write one sentence, can I write one word. Now what happens is that because these ambitious people, they have that they have that rational right, they can think, they can see the logic and they will say that it will take a lot of time to write one word, if you will look at each word as a microscopic goal or look at each sentence because it is a huge goal. Now this goal can also be in the content, for example you. Are you thinking to reach 1 million subscribers? You are thinking that to reach 1 million subscribers, you have to upload 1000 videos or 5000 videos, only then you will get 1 million, but then you are thinking that this is a very massive effort, and your brain tells you that we will have to put in huge efforts to reach such a big goal
8:23 because the conditioning of your mind has happened in this way, because you have seen that someone is studying for competitive exams, so they are studying for 14 hours, or anyone is working very hard, you are looking at them and they are working for very long hours, but it is not necessary, we can reach our goal and achieve our ambition even by taking small efforts, and to be honest, when I look back, if I see my old channel which has around 603 64000 subscribers, so when I was starting, I used to think That it should have 500 subscribers only and I started that channel way back in 2018 I used to think that if I get 500 subscribers only, that is a big deal and I never had that thought that I had never imagined that it will
9:10 go up to 10000 or even 50000 and it is right now at 60000 now I had not made videos there but I am using that as an example that I was in the process place there, that means I used to wake up on Sunday morning, I used to make videos and upload them on Sundays only and then that yes there were some gaps in between, I was not consistent in between but imagine if I was consistent then where it could have gone further so the power of consistency and the power of small microscopic goals this is going to be very useful for you so when you enter in 2025, keep this thing in mind that even if your goals are big, then your goals will be very big There should be a big ambition, there should be big dreams, there should be goals, they can be conquered by taking one step at a time.
