How often have you come close to giving up on a dream? How often do you regret your decisions? Have you ever wondered you could have achieved something bigger if you were born in a different part of the world? We tend to blame our failures on the smallest of things and eventually give up too soon. But if you take a look at some of the most inspirational success stories, they're all about strong willed people beating the odds to reach the top.Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, 'When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.' And it seems these people have followed just that. They come from humble beginnings but that hasn't stopped them from realising their dreams. Here are seven inspirational stories you probably hadn't heard of before. They'll make you believe nothing is impossible.
In the year 2006, 22-year-old Govind Jaiswal ranked 48 in the Civil Services Exam. His father is a rickshaw puller who sold off his land to provide education to his son. From the money collected after selling off the land, Govind enrolled himself in a coaching class, and ended up qualifying the examinations, and how! The same police officers who once harassed his father now refer to him as sir. Amidst 10-14 hours of power cuts and the deafening sound of generators, Govind Jaiswal toiled every night and said he first wanted to get his father treated for his wounds. His father had saved a little land he planned to sell for his three daughters weddings, but Govind has ensured that wont happen anymore.
