Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep
inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will
must be stronger than the skill. Successful professionals thrive in the same manner. We all have
natural talents. If we use that talent to set our goal in life, we can easily get success in life. We
shall not achieve our goals if we do not take action to achieve them. Setting goals has two
valuable assets - a sense of originality and a stepping stone to illuminate the path. Goals put one
at the helm of life; pursuing them acknowledges a better future situation. They help to steer a
course of life rather than simply drifting along and letting things happen. Setting goals may
appear easy, but, for some, it is quite challenging. Fear of failure may be avoided in the absence
of any goals. After all, one has to decide what one wants to achieve in the end. To accomplish
goals, experts recommend a five step approach.

i. They stitch ii. They harvest
footballs, yet … cocoa yet …
We can do it ...
You may ask that - what can one person do? I would recall a story of my childhood: A
heavy fire had broken out in the forest. All the animals were running away, including lion, the
king of the forest. Suddenly, then he saw a tiny bird rushing towards the fire. He asked the bird,
m
“What are you doing?” To the lion’s surprise, the bird replied “I am going to extinguish the
fire.” The lion laughed and said, “How can you do it keeping just one drop of water, in your
beak?” The bird was adamant, and she said, “I am doing my bit.”
Eighteen years ago, millions of individuals marched across the globe. And demanded a
Sa
new international law for the abolition of worst form of child labour, and it has happened, we
did it, millions of individuals did it.
Friends! We live in an age of rapid globalisation. We are connected through high-speed
Internet. We exchange our goods and services in one single global market. Thousands of flights
every day connect us from one corner to another corner of the globe. But there is one serious
disconnect and there is a lack of compassion. Let us inculcate and transform these individuals’
compassion into a global compassion. Let us globalise compassion.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “If we are to teach real peace in this world... we shall have to
begin with the children.” I humbly add, let us unite the world through the compassion for our
children.
I ask - Whose children are they who stitch footballs, yet never played with one? Whose
children are they who harvest cocoa, yet have never tasted chocolate?
Whose children are they who are dying of Ebola?
Whose children are they who are kidnapped and held hostage?
They are all our children.
