KRYPTONITE

Look up in the sky. What is it?Is it a bird?Is it a plane?No its superman!!!!!!!!
He can travel at the speed of light.He can crush boulders with his bare hands.He is indestructible.Superman;the one man who could have the entire universe in his hands is also a man who is listless and alone.Lost in a world where from where he cannot go back.Forever doomed to be trapped in his do good alter ego.Ironically the only thing which can bring our hero down on his knees is a shining green stone called KRYPTONITE.

We all have our kryptonite.That one thing which refuses to let us achieve our greatest heights. Like superman we remain just that, people who can reach the stars but who refuse to do so. People who can accomplish a dream but do not dare to.our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate but it is that we are powerful beyond all measure. We hide ourselves under self doubt and feelings of worthlessness because we do not understand what great power lies within.

For far too long i have doubted myself, for far too long i have underachieved.It is now that i fight the demons that lie within me. It is now that i fight all odds to rise upwards. Not because i have to but because i want to. Superman overcomes his green stone because he has a responsibility. By overcoming all odds he inspires all of us to do the same.

So i fight on the kryptonite composed of doubt and failure. I hope that i get past it.And in the process i hope that i encourage another brave soul to do the same.

burkhi, the cynic inside doesnt leave you that easily, does he? ... poora artickle itna achcha likhke, you made it a bit negative in the last para... if u really want to fight the doubt, i guess you should not even doubt your resolve....so instead of hoping to overcome you should feel certain to overcome, or just leave it at fighting...
