“It is a fact

that there is no end to the opportunities in this world. When one opportunity ceases to exist, some other opportunity always arises somewhere… But new opportunities will bear no fruit if they are not at once seized and availed of. Nothing ever happens on its own.

But it takes a man of courage to grasp the opportunities that present themselves. He must also have the endurance and the determination for the struggle which necessarily ensues. And if he possesses those essential qualities, there is no question of his being a failure.

This world has been devised by God so that man may succeed– but with a struggle.”
