The Role of Difficulty
in the beginning. The journey of great achievement
begins from great failure. In its final stage, success is an
external phenomenon. But in its primary stage, it is the
result of an internal decision.
It is said that no one can reach the heights of success
if he hasn't experienced failure. If you maintain your
positivity, then failure gives you a good vision, new ideas
for planning, and new ways to proceed on your journey.
This is the lesson of the whole of human history.
Super-achievement is everyone's dream, but super-
achievement does not suddenly knock at your door. It
requires hard labour, continuous effort, well-considered
planning, the utilization of full energy on a single focus,
and, most importantly, unshakable positive planning.
Success always comes to those who are true seekers of
success. Make yourself a true seeker of success and you
will certainly reach your destination.
The Role of Difficulty
Never complain to others. Try to utilize your own mind, and
you will certainly achieve anything you want to in life.

makes man.’ This statement is based on a natural fact
