Many people want to triumph in their businesses, careers and in the affairs of life, but they are quite ignorant of what it takes to do so. Some think of succeeding through short-cuts, not knowing that such short-cuts lead to dead-ends. Others feel they can triumph by cutting corners and playing pranks! These are not the ways to sincerely triumph in the affairs of life.

I did 200metres rope climbing to the top of a platform once. It was suicidal. When the boys heard that the Governor-General had arrived, they stopped what they were doing. How many have I not done?
