No matter what

 

|| No Matter What ||

We have all heard many affirmative statements, especially from positive people who look at life very differently. No matter what, I will work hard and achieve what I have thought of. No matter how difficult the times I pass through are, no matter the financial difficulties I face, I will not beg for money from anyone. No matter if I experience tough times in my relations with others, I will try my best to mend and maintain those relationships. We've been hearing all these affirmative statements over the years, but how many of us really implement them in our lives? Now, the time has come to learn, feel, and take pride in hearing one of the historic statements by our Indian scientists: 'No matter what, we will try again to land on the moon.' And today, they did achieve it. Chandrayaan 3, a successful mission, happened at 6:04 pm Indian time on August 23rd. It's the first of its kind on the south pole of the moon. This is the best moment to embrace positivity in life and to realize that nothing is impossible. With clear determination, we can make a change.

Chandrayaan 3's successful mission marks a monumental achievement for India's space exploration endeavors. The determination and hard work exhibited by the Indian scientists and space agency showcase the power of human ingenuity and dedication. The fact that this mission successfully landed on the moon's south pole, a region of great scientific interest due to its unique terrain and potential water ice deposits, demonstrates India's commitment to pushing the boundaries of space exploration. Chandrayaan 3's triumph not only adds to India's space achievements but also inspires a global audience, emphasizing that with persistence and innovation, even the most ambitious goals can be realized. This accomplishment reinforces the notion that scientific advancement is a collaborative effort, urging nations to come together in the spirit of exploration and discovery for the betterment of humanity.

When the Chandrayaan 3 mission achieved success, our Prime Minister delivered a speech in which he mentioned that it is not only India's mission, but also a mission to be celebrated by every human in the universe. This success signifies the possibility of connecting not only to the moon but also to other planets through scientific revolution. This revolution should be seen as a service to humanity and utilized to spread messages of positivity worldwide. I view this mission as a game-changer. It was led by many women scientists and involved the efforts of numerous ISRO scientists. They have proven that after the setback of Chandrayaan 2's failure, valuable lessons were learned about overcoming difficulties, maintaining focus, and working diligently towards goals. The motto is to face whatever challenges life presents, even in the face of failure, never giving up, but instead learning from mistakes, analyzing them, and achieving success through focused determination.

Recently, I met a young boy aged 26. He came to meet me and said, 'I have some speech issues and I need to solve them. Is this the right place for me to come?' I assured him that it was, and I began a conversation with him. He carried a lot of childhood trauma due to abuse, parents' frequent fighting, their subsequent divorce, and the presence of a stepfather and stepbrother in his life. Additionally, he couldn't complete his education due to multiple challenges. He also mentioned that he has been undergoing psychological treatment for many years. I then asked, 'I understand that you've faced a lot of challenges, but what do you see for your future? What would you love to do?' He replied, 'I am multi-talented; I play sports, I read, I act, and I engage in many more activities. Regardless of the circumstances, I won't give up. I will strive to change myself in the best possible manner.

What confidence this boy had! He asserted that no matter how difficult the situations, he was determined to change. He acknowledged having anxiety issues that were affecting his speech, but he expressed uncertainty about how to address them. 'Will you show me the ways?' he asked. He shared his intention to write things down and actively work on improvement, despite facing financial difficulties that might hinder his ability to return soon. Nevertheless, he was resolute in his desire to invest in self-improvement. His candidness was striking, and I truly appreciated his honesty. At times, we tend to make assumptions or judgments about people, yet delving deeper reveals that some individuals possess an unwavering positivity. They endure setbacks or failures, only to swiftly rise again. Meeting such individuals is incredibly inspiring to me.

Other than the ideal personalities, there is our god, Lord Krishna. He has eloquently narrated in the Bhagavad Gita how Arjuna found himself torn between his clear intention not to harm his own family members and his ethical principles, making it difficult for him to decide to fight. Similarly, every individual in this universe encounters struggles and challenges that require them to stand up against adversity. Lord Krishna advises that one should not run away, escape, or hide from such challenges. In this life, facing challenges and overcoming them is the true achievement, and this can only be accomplished with inner strength. He compares the epic Mahabharata with an individual's day-to-day struggles, emphasizing the importance of courage, resilience, commitment, and loyalty in whatever one undertakes. Regardless of one's motivation, maintaining unwavering energy and perseverance is crucial. God states that He has made us human, but being human comes with responsibilities.

During the 2nd anniversary celebration of Hearing Hearts on World Humanitarian Day, the idea of "No matter what" highlights the amazing strength of kids who can't hear well. This special day is all about appreciating how hard these kids work to get better, even when things are tough. Even though they face difficulties, these kids show us that they're really determined. For example, there are children who couldn't hear well when they were  born. But they didn't give up. They learned new ways to talk and understand, and They did really well in school and other activities. What these kids do can teach us a lot. They show us that no matter how hard things are, we can keep trying and get better. Their stories remind us that when we face problems, we can be strong like them and not give up. As we celebrate this special day, let's remember that their hard work can inspire us to face our own challenges with bravery and keep going, just like they do.

The concept of "No matter what" also resonates with the idea that even strong people face difficulties. They might not always show it, but they can also go through tough times, just like everyone else. Sometimes, they handle their struggles quietly, picking up the pieces and moving ahead. This silent strength shows that they're not giving up, even when things get tough. Just like hearing-impaired kids working hard despite challenges, strong individuals teach us that no matter how tough life gets, we can find the strength to rebuild and keep moving forward. It's a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to overcome hardships, even in silence, and continue our journey with determination.
