Persons who are bought up the hard
way are successful ones later in life. They develop a resistance to hardship of
all sorts.
A child who has been accustomed to
thinking everything will be done for him by parents and that pocket money is
his birth right will become a ‘softie’. The day he starts earning his livelihood
in a large town, he will find he lacks toughness and courage.
A child who is used to walk 4
kilometers every morning whether sun or rain will remember later that his early
years had given him the health and tenacity when he grows old. That does not
mean children should be treated harshly; it means that they should not be
thought that life is a garden full of roses because that is not true.
Yes, there is a limit to
difficulties that man can face but a reasonable dose of worries does no harm to
anyone. On the contrary, let us not complain if we have a boss who is hard to
please, a demanding wife or husband. Small quarrels, if not too frequent are
beneficial. They wake us up and compel us to reconsider a situation.
So let us not fear obstacles. Let us
face them. For human life is not a garden of roses nor is it a valley of
sorrows; it is a sanctuary of work….
