A letter by a friend

Dear Friend,

There is room for only one at the top. The higher the summit, the harder is the climb. You have to display dogged determination and unwavering perseverance to maintain the progress. Reach the top and crown yourself with glory and success. The secret of success, the secret of scoring over competition and the secret of reaching the top and staying there lie in the motto of exerting yourself a little more and doing a little better than not only your competitors but also over what you are paid for. Just enough to get by is not enough to get ahead and win the race. By putting in a little extra effort on your own and unasked for, you will make other indebted to you, be they individuals or institutions. When you give a little more than what is expected of you, and when you give affection, love, help, regard, respect, sympathy and friendship in abundance on your own initiative, you will find others spontaneously helping you and lifting you up to the top.

Be bold and courageous. Face the situation, however difficult with courage and conviction and you are bound to succeed. Remember courage , conquers boldness pays and timidity fails. Learning from lives of great men and women, past and present, it is clear that by investing in people, you are enhancing the chances of your success by million fold. You must avail yourself of every opportunity to know more people and also more about the people you know.
