What
is something that we desire to have, work diligently our entire life for, and
will do almost anything to obtain? It is victory. Victory is a favorable or desired
outcome. It is also the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence. As individuals,
we have a drive for victory, our life depends on it.
The
word “victory” could be reflected in the book Aeneid itself, especially in the adventures
of Aeneas. After the fall of troy, Aeneas set sail from Troy. Many Trojans had
joined him. All were eager to find somewhere to settle, but no one had any
clear idea where that should be. At that time, Aeneas was told in a dream that
the place destined for them was a country far away to the west Italy. Although
the Promised Land was distant by a long journey, they were still thankful for
the assurance that they would someday have their own home. This situation
denotes the ultimate victory of the Trojans behind the defeat they experienced
after the fall of Troy. This proves that they are still blessed, in spite of
all the adversities they suffered. Those hardships that they experienced were given
to them in order to teach them some lessons and for them to be strong enough to
the problems that they will experience in the future.
Always
remember that there is no gain without taking risk. How can a man who never
ventures win? In life one has to take bold decisions quickly. Time and tide
wait for nobody. The timid, weak and undecided are swept aside by the tide of
time. Determination and concentration can enable a man to attain success in any
field of life. So success is not a matter of luck, it depends on firm
determination and full preparation. Nothing is impossible to a man who has a
purpose and the perseverance to persist with it.
