We all have experienced in our personal and professional life that developing courage is very important to be successful. I remember important learning from Hanuman Chalisa
“सब सुख लहै तुह्मारी सरना । तुम रच्छक काहू को डर ना”
Sab sukh leye tumhari sarna , tum rakshak kahu ko darna.
Explanation – Oh lord, everything belongs to you. Those who take Refuge in You, enjoy all Happiness. Oh Lord Hanuman, If You are my Protector, my savior, then what is there to fear?
One example of Hanuman that demonstrate courageous to take difficult task for completion
Lord Hanuman participated from Rama side to war against the demon king Ravana. Laxman was the younger brother of Lord Rama. When Ravan son Megh-Nath attacked Laxman in middle of the war. It became impossible to save Laxman life. For saving Laxman life a vital medical herb was required within 12 hrs.
That medical herb was in Himalayas north India. War was going on in Sri Lanka. So, covering that distance in 12 hrs. was a difficult task. In that precious time Lord, Hanuman came forward and enquired about herbs. He started flying towards the Himalayas. After reaching there. He got confused about the medical herb. So, what he did was amazing. He took the Whole mountain of herbs in his arms and started towards war zone and reached with in time limit.
This is the greatness of mighty Lord hanuman.
Conclusion
In my experience when we acquired specific knowledge by investing many hours /days to learn to build mastery with practical experience then we can perform the task with confidence . This makes the courageous to take risk by executing difficult task . This is true in any profession ( Doctor , Lawyer . Engineering, Art etc. ) and equally daily work at home to cook food or any other task .
I come across phrase “Knowledge is Power”) Reference – Sir Francis Bacon was the first person attributed to the phrase “Knowledge is Power’. It dates to 1597 when he published the maxim in his book, “Meditationes Sacrae and Human Philosophy’. )
Reality there is no shortcut to develop knowledge without investing time . This year my daughter Kamna and many others who joined Medical School it was very hard to remember the terminology and covering the course, but she must spend many hours each day to get through the exam.
I also remember one of my Manager in India Mr. D.L Sonee used to say that if want to learn swimming then one need to get inside the water then only you can learn. Surely you need to practice
