You are right we need to persevere relentlessly, even by changing our methods to get to the goal. Your comment reminded of Randy Pausch (last lecture) who said the brick wall is there for a reason - to prevent people that don't want something passionately enough. The tom peters quote is a good one. Thanks Nimmy. You are right we need to persevere relentlessly, even by changing our methods to get to the goal.

In other words, nothing is impossible. There may be no need to relook at the goal if you're sure you want to reach there and you know it will do you and the world a lot of good....but there may be a need to relook at the methods we adopt to reach the goal! And, being an idealist, I believe just the act of trying again and again will open our eyes to various possibilities and the passion will ensure we crack every obstacle on the way! The world is a magical place for people who are passionate and don't entertain any thoughts of giving up...! :-) Reminds me of a tweet I came across today...which quotes TOM PETERS as saying we ought to do cool things [insert the description of your goal here] or die trying! :-) I am in complete agreement with the idea of never never never ever giving up as long as you know you have a noble goal and you have what it takes to achieve it or at least you know you can learn to get to a stage where you have what it takes.

You are right, it does seem to be connected to vision and hence the unseen factor as you had stated earlier. I made a mistake. Thanks for pointing out. i have struck my earlier comment off. Kumaran,

It looks when the word is transliterated into english it written as "Drushti" or drsti. It is also being spelt as "Adrushtam" and root word is "Drushtam" mean "vision" in some articles. I checked out with my mother-in-law she was a sanskrit professor in Sanskrit college in Trivandrum. There is also an online dictionary http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?script=HK&tinput=adRSTi&country_ID=&trans=Translate&direction=AU Some other sources on 'Dhurstam" 1. http://advaitham.blogspot.com/2008/09/deivathin-kural-48-of-vol-2-of-16-nov.html ( look at point 13 ) 2.http://www.saibaba.ws/sai_pw/spow005.htm ( look at section "Lucky and Unlucky ) I did some more research on the word “Adrishtam” actually semantics change stuff pretty drastcially in sanskrit.

Completely changing course when faced with failure is a tremendous insight. The birth of twitter from Odeo's looming failure is a great case study. As is Kumaran's point about the invention of penicillin. I hope to cover both these insights in my next post on luck. Thanks Ganesh.
