Success is The Right of Every Person

Sloka above teaches us to be an optimist through life, because man is born into a large fortune.  Humans are able to change the bad deeds into good deeds.

Good deed is an act that brings all the goodness such as improving the ability of self, providing the service (seva), giving alms / Punia to the needy, maintaining harmony with Hyang Widdhi(God) and The Ancestor, maintaining harmony with fellow human beings, to maintain harmony with nature, one  to maintain its sustainability, in a word, the works which provide a positive output.  When we managed to improve ourselves, excel in areas in which we live, personally we will happy and the family also will happy, our friends are also happy, especially our parents would be proud to have us.

Therefore, do something good not to procrastinate, do it now, right now, because only this moment is ours, we do not yet know the future, what will happen, do we still have a chance for it or not, time  also has been passed, we can not turn back.

To implement these good ideas then we need a strong will (big will), why..?  because in the process there will be challenges and obstacles, both from within and from outside ourselves.  Obstacles that could arise for example; Lust act without the knowledge, Loba / excessive desire to possess something, Easy to anger, impatient in running all aspects of life, confusion or doubt in stride, forget about something, either the object or activity to forget about their own health  and family, lazy, envious.  Do not be surprised if Vince Lombardi said:

“The Difference Between a Successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.” Vince Lombardi
 
This strong will, made a lot of people who though born in a poor condition, were finally able to be a success skyrocketed.  Call it like:

Mangku Pastika (the Governor of Bali) ,the difficulty of life has even felt since he was a kid.  His father who is a teacher took him to transmigrate to Lampung at the age of 12 years.  At that time, stepping into junior high school was experiencing a touching experience.  Mangku Patika stomach was growling.  “I fainted in the street after school because of hunger.  I rescued by a Chinese citizen.  I then was offered as a servant in his house “; he told.  He claimed to have never regretted the eventful life of the concerns at that time.  He considers it a gift.  Because he could have and passed that difficult life.

Therefore, do not ever grieve, even if your life does not prosper, born into a human beings, let us make elated, because very difficult to be born into a human, even though lowly born (Sloka 3 Sarasamuccaya)

Born suffering is not necessarily a bad thing, it could be is a gift from Hyang Widdhi (God), so that we can be strong, can be a great person.  Similarly, the suffering is not necessarily a bad thing, in certain circumstances it is necessary to increase the suffering of ourselves.  Like a bitter pill to cure, so that suffering comes to mature us, to strengthen us.  The great army made up of hard training, the famous sweet palm fruit grows in desert areas are hot and humid.

To better understand the message of Bhagavan Warraruci above, let us consider the story of Prudence from Zimbabwe who were able to win, 2010 Academy Award Short Film
