Dont try to succeed!

Ashok Salian is among the best photographers of India, but more than that, he is a great individual. Why is that? Well, for one, I've never seen anyone laugh like him.

I have always believed that you can understand a person by his/her laughter for it speaks volumes . Ashok's unaffected laugh is strong and resounding; one that reverberates in your heart long after his laughter has stopped. Though his roar is also similar to thunder close at hand, contrarily, the rumble comforts in its positivity and enthusiasm. It shows his childlike, guilelessly, openminded and innocent approach to life.

I tried to be like that. But the more I tried the less I succeeded; the less I tried, the more I succeeded.

I think that is the key to success in life. Each of life's moments is an opportunity to learn, give, enjoy and relish. You dont have to be positive despite the problems that life hands out to you - you should be positive because of life is giving a different, exciting opportunity every time!

This lesson of life come thanks to Guru Ashok Salianji.
