All man are born just rational, equal in all aspects and free of all evils. With the passage of time majority of them lose their way to worldly desires. Some fell prey to struggle of livelihood, still there are some who find their way in leading the humanity towards greater heights. Leaders are not born but leadership comes through self realisation, struggle and sacrifice and the basic intention behind the work. It is sacrifice that transforms a common man to the great leader. The universal elements in all great men have a big share of sacrifice in their life. Gandhi may have been a successful barrister or a fashionable son of supporting father but he chose the different way. Once he sacrificed his comfortable life and chose the thorny path of struggle he was the different man. May not have become 'Rashtrapati', the president he is now a 'Rashtrapita', the father of the nation and the universal leader. There are more examples to quote such as of Imam Hussein who sacrificed his family, friends even his life for the struggle against evil tyranny now rules the hearts across the universe.Once Gautam Siddhartha decided to leave the palace and the kingdom he was reborn as Lord Buddha.Similarly Abraham decided to sacrifice his son in the way of God his intention was accepted and was set as an example for entire humanity by Lord. As soon as Asoka decided to sacrifice his worldly desires and the lust for an empire history recognised him as Asoka the great. To gain something one has to lose much but in order to attain the greatness one has to lose everything. Even then great people are hardly recognised during their lifetime. They make grand sacrifices without recognition and without any such intention. It is an eternal law that sacrifice is to be recognised someday and when the day comes everyone remembers it. The other path is of struggle. Sacrifice alone does not work but the intention behind it makes the work great. So try to keep your intentions clear, set up your goals, struggle hard and forget the results. Who know one day you will be recognised 'Great'.
