IF is a word of losers who are stuck at their failures and don't dare to think forward but are stuck in the past. IF let's you build castles in air. It let's you dream and drown. It let's you create a world for you which has no base but it let's you live in illusions. It let's you live in self-pity, "if i had done this at that moment, today i have been there in place of him" but the fact is that it's he who moved on and persevered while you were stuck in your IF.
"IF wishes were horses, then beggars would ride." You need to do and not just think to be successful. Even the greatest of ideas required work to materialize. Nothing happens by dreaming. IF only Gibbs would have taken that catch, Australia wouldn't have been in the 1999 World cup Final. IF we could remove all corruption, ours would be an ideal state.
A similar IF was dreamt by our forefathers in the colonial period. IF we get independence, we will be prosperous and that one event will be an end to all our plights. 65 years down the line, we are still struggling with problems of basic sanitation, extreme poverty, health care and minimal level of wages. Even our Millennium Development Goal of reducing hunger by 50% seems distant.
IF our Prime Minister would have been more aware of his cabinet, we wouldn't have had a 2G scam. But that isn't something we should get obsessed with, what we need is to look forward and put pressure on the government for a fair trial and trace the money trail and get the money back.
IF there would have been no Hitler, there would have been no World War, no Holocaust. But then there would have been some other person in place of him, filling the political vacuum in Germany promising them there rightful place in the world. There is never a question of IF. There is no other substitute but to actually do things so as to know whether it's a success or failure. Lamenting over the past is only good if you are a poet. To be successful you need to think beyond the IF's and strive for I WILL.
“If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, wouldn't it be a Merry Christmas?”
