The history of any good society or big community is full of the deeds of great and brave people. At some point in their past, they were indeed victims of numerous hardships and had overcome the state of being in great trouble or stress. But their passion for achieving what they dreamt of gave them the courage and strength to bear all those hardships and provided a vision to prove to the people that what they thought was not wrong and, most importantly, achievable. It’s straightforward to live a simple life on this, especially for human beings. But to live a worthwhile life, one needs courage and fearlessness. Many of the incidents have proved how fortune favours the bold. Boldness is a necessary part of courage, but boldness must be based on an intelligent assessment of potential risks and rewards. And the wonderful nature of boldness is that it builds the habit of courage in the person who practices it. Courage, to step out in the face of uncertainty with faith and take a giant leap into the unknown. One of the aged persons has once said that - act boldly, and unseen forces will come to your aid. Sitting idle and doing nothing will surely not reward you, but trying to do something with boldness will help you reach a better place for the adventurous people out there, the one who doesn’t play, will surely not win the game. They always require the key of determination and willpower to grab an opportunity and take risks to provide a ladder to scale new heights.

The industry sector contributes around27.6% of the GDP in India. The birth of an industry results from the brilliant minds of entrepreneurs joining hands to contribute something to their nation by setting up their businesses. There are lots of companies which are found bold in their approach and have achieved greater heights. Apple tops in that, and others are Google, Virgin, Sky, etc. One of the business myths is if you wish to get an abnormal return, don’t plan to get there with normal behaviour. Boldness is one of the assumed qualities of business leaders. They are being Bold is taken as a positive attribute for business people, starting from bold leadership, bold decision making, proactive management and bold product or service development. A few famous business leaders or entrepreneurs are BillGates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page, etc.. They started their business by merely setting up shop in the garage with a little idea and a great enthusiasm to explore it in the face of uncertainty. Once they start in their direction, they indeed learn the lessons they need to get succeeded.

“Success is never final, and failure is never fatal.”

Let’s discuss one of the stories of a brave Rajasthani woman, Mrs Ruma Devi, who dare to start a embroidery business and become the empowering rural fashion icon by breaking the traditional bondage. She has transformed the lives of more than 22,000women in becoming independent by providing them stable jobs. She was awarded with Nari shakti puruskar in 2019. She has faced many difficulties in life, from losing her mother at a young age, getting pulled out of school, early marriage and miscarriages. But her willpower to not sit idle at home and boldness to stand against people for her rights made her an award-winning designer. With her exemplary style and talent, she has participated in various international fashion events in Germany, London, etc.; to showcase her hishandcrafted embroidery dresses. She is one of the best examples of boldness, which is still prevailing in the business stream and will continue to bring improvements in the industry in general

Life begins at the moment where your comfort zone ends. Rather than worrying about what is impossible and what is doable, we should focus on grabbing the opportunity and doing it because we only live once. There is no security in this world, but option is always open—thereare lots of voices around us. But the motivational inner voices are mostly audible to us when we are alone. They start fainting when we enter society. Don't that become inaudible? Amplify the inner voice. We have to trust ourselves. And gather the courage to choose the path our heart is vibrating for. At last, it is the action that is waiting for something miraculous to happen. The combination of accurate knowledge and bold move always results in a force that is to be reckoned with to achieve something great. We need more change in the country than in any other country. We need to become like a developed country that has no fear of failure. We have to leave our conventional thinking of wisdom that decelerates innovation and most of the ideas and stops us from taking the risks, that we all should take in our life.
