Human beings alone can plan in advance and work towards achieving goals. The stronger we aim at something, the higher is our achievement. The great number of sky scrapers, flats, factories, offices, farms, roads, dams and all other developments were possible only because of hard work. So if we were to do something good to the world, we’ll have to work hard. As students, the duty entrusted to you is to learn your lessons, and to work single- mindedly towards your goal.
Here’s an inspiring story for you. There lived a good artist named Thimanthes. He got his training under a master. One day he painted a beautiful picture. People praised him a lot. Thimanthes stood before his picture and became proud of it. He thought that the painting was his masterpiece and that he cannot do a better one again. His master noticed the tragedy and poured ink on the painting. Thimanthes was shocked and he ran towards his master angrily. He shouted “what have you done to my painting?” The master with his usual warmth said, “you can do better; there are many mistakes in your picture. I destroyed it so that you could improve your skills and make better paintings.” He obeyed his master and eventually became a very famous artist.
We see a lot of people around us who feel inadequate for many things. They naturally draw back and become idle. So let’s take a decision to work hard. Let’s toil whole-heartedly to achieve our aims.
We are in the beginning of a new academic year. Let’s set a goal and strive hard to realize that goal. Daily hard work should become the stepping stones to success. Also let the small victories not limit us from working towards greater heights.
With Love
