The only condition of success is continuous effort, that is, to make such unflagging efforts, as are essential to achieve the desired objectives.

In life, sometimes, we achieve and sometimes we lose. But, both these are temporary. It is the temporary nature of the experience of life that creates challenge. Challenge creates competition, and competition leads to different kinds of experience. It is this challenge-response mechanism, through which we unfold our potential.

In this world man sometimes loses, sometimes gains. These vicissitudes are the common lot. No one is exempt from them. Losing and winning are not in themselves important. What is of actual importance is how people conduct themselves when facing these experiences.

Patience will ensure that whenever one has some bitter experience, he will opt for the way of tolerance rather than that of reaction to provocation. It will enable one to absorb shocks and to continue, undeterred, on one’s onward journey.
