FAILURE: AN ANALYSIS

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | Principles of Life | Al-Risala, June 1988

When India’s 1962 Olympic participants returned to New Delhi at the end of the Los Angeles Olympic Games (July-August 1984), there was a complete absence of any fanfare at the airport for the home coming of the athletes. The reason was obvious. They had not won a single medal, neither gold, nor silver nor bronze.

Success Through Hard Work

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | Principles of Life

Joseph Conrad, born in 1857 in Berdychiv, Ukraine, was orphaned in infancy, and since he had neither a formal education nor the backing of relatives, he had to support himself by working as a seaman. He travelled to various countries, at last reaching England in 1886, where he became a British citizen.
