Everybody desires success, but a few attain it. Once of the reasons is that most people are lacking in strength of will. A weak-minded person is frightened away by the initial difficulties and gives up the attempt in despair. If, however, a man faces the difficulties bravely, they will prove to be really not so serious as they seemed to be, and he will be able to overcome them and succeed in the end. Firm determination will also open out before us untaught of ways of reaching the goal. So if one way should fail, we may take to another and continue it till the object is fulfilled. The well known story of the Crow and the Pitcher is a good illustration in point. In fact, nothing is impossible to man, and the main thing necessary for success in life is firm determination and strength of will.
