Friends! Many of us prefer to starve, live in deprivation and remain idle, but we don’t like to toil hard and do some odd jobs which we consider as petty and menial by our own measures. Such kind of hesitation is totally baseless and harmful for our own selves. We must try to understand that in order to attain success we shall make physical agility as our best friend. It is only the light of diligence and exertion that shows us the path to success. Just imagine, how can a soldier win a battle if he hesitates to lift the gun? Similarly, until and unless we make zeal and action inherent part of our lives, success shall be achievement will be difficult if not impossible. Action and energy are the main requisites of all the accomplishments. We must try to strike a balance between mental and physical labor and understand the proper execution of both as is very appropriately said, ” Look Before You Leap.” Hence, all the wise people properly understand the significance of hardwork and adequate knowledge and act accordingly.
