If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

When results were out of my college, cantine has become like a conference room of united nation.
With the glass of soft drinks and plates of samosas, a piquant consideration of toppers and losers were also grilling at the same time.
In fact, the people were more anxious to know the list of toppers, and even more concerned for the list of losers.
Vinay, the hero of the moment was the only person who was having internet working on his laptop, so all the eyes were hubbing on him, and even more hovered then the final matches of India and Pakistan.
All 40 of us of our section except a few who were absent , were waiting for vinay to chip in their role number on his keyboard to have that life’s biggest upshot.
All have viewed their results turn-by-turn, so now their were two groups namely toppers, and losers.
The toppers not only mean those in bottom nineties, but people ranging around seventies were also mixed up there.
While losers were ranging anything from failures to below seventies.
Suddenly, one of my very good friend, say just one step backside from my girlfriend, has taken responsibility of announcing the good and the bad news.
In fact, her loud, but pleasing voice has captured the attention of all in just a moment.
Now begins the actual part, when she has announced a very astonishing news.
Rajeev, who seems to be the most admirer of god, has got fail.
In fact, he used to spend many of his hours in temple, even in the exam days as well.
As a person, I love him very much, and actually he is the most simplest person I’ve ever observed.
Besides all this, my point is, that how could it be possible?
A guy, who have prayed a lot from god to make him successful in exam, could not even crack it, I mean, just awful.
What happened was, that though he was wishing and praying to god,but he forgot, that god help only those who helps themselves.
Ok, many people gets fail, and it’s not the most inimitable thing of the world, but I know that guy, if he would have spend a bit of his time with books rather then in temple, the consequence could be better for sure.
Though I’ve also prayed god, but I’ve studied as well.
So, At the nutshell, I’m not against of praying because By prayer we acknowledge God's power and goodness, our own neediness and dependence. It is therefore an act of the virtue of religion implying the deepest reverence for God and habituating us to look to Him for everything, not merely because the thing asked be good in itself, or advantageous to us, but chiefly because we wish it as a gift of God,
and not otherwise, no matter how good or desirable it may seem to us.
However, all that I want to convey if someone asks me in one phrase, the answer would be,
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.
I mean, only wishes doesn’t works, hardwork still required.

True, buddy,
Only wishes does not do anything, hardwork is the key.
Ok, prayers have immense power to make or break anything, but if you don’t work for the mean, I don’t think you can get success.
