Success Excellence & you

We've all seen 3 Idiots and loved it.
It is the highest grosser of all times(bollywood)
However it violates the basic laws of physics in the statement Excellence के पीछे भागो Success तुम्हारे पीछे भागेगी
I believe that You may never achieve Success this way (at least according to Physics)

Assumptions
  • The speed of 3 entities Excellence , Success & You is the same
  • There is some distance between each of them initially
There can be 3 directions which you can take
  1. Run towards Excellence
(stated in the movie as- "Excellence के पीछे भागो Success तुम्हारे पीछे भागेगी " )
In this scenario there will never be a situation when all three overlap.
As the speed is same and Time being constant the distance each covers will be the same hence leaving all 3 at the same distance at which they began.

Conculsion - Running towards Excellence will never get You Success :)

2. Stay where You are

When You stay put then atleast You don't runaway from Success implying Success will get to You in normal course of time.
3. Run opposite to Excellence

Now the relative speed of Success towards You doubles as You are running towards it with same speed.


Thus Excellence के पीछे भागोगे तो Success कभी नहीं मिलेगी
Excellence के उल्टा भागोगे तो Success जल्दी मिलेगी :)
खड़े रहोगे या अपनी जगह पड़े रहोगे तो Success देर से मिलेगी :) पर मिलेगी तो सही :P
