Answer:

by sheer perseverance that even ordinary men have made their dreams come true. Perseverance, working in the right direction, grows with time, and when steadily practised, even the most humble will rarely fail to get rewards.

The persistent man will not be baffled or repulsed by opposition. Diogenes desired to be the disciple of Antisthenes, a cynic, but was refused. Diogenes still persisting, the cynic raised his staff to hit him unless he departed. But Diogenes said: “Strike, you will not find a stick hard enough to conquer my perseverance.” Antisthenes had no words to answer and forthwith accepted him as his pupil. Do we not have similar instances in Ekalavya and Kabir who went to extreme actions to become the disciples of their preceptors?

To try over and over again is the secret of success. Benjamin Disraeli the great British statesman flopped while delivering his maiden speech in Parliament. There was derisive laughter and guffaws till he was forced to sit down. But before he sat he pledged aloud “I have begun several times many things and I have succeeded at last. I will sit down now but the time will come when you will hear me.” Thomas Alva Edison made 1600 tests and tried out 3,000 different theories and hundreds of experiments before he came out with the incandescent lamp. About Dale Carnegie it is described how he spent months preparing a talk to win one of the elocution contests in his college.

Thomas Edison remarkable for his inventions and before he was acclaimed a genius was at the bottom of his class. When enquired about the secret of his success his reply was “It is plain hard work and perseverance.” To him, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine perspiration.” Again it is told of Holman Hunt who painted “the Light of the World” that once an admirer asked him the technique of drawing free-hand circles perfect like his, he is said to have replied: “All you need to do is to practise eight hours a day for forty years.”

When the great pianist Paderewski was asked to give a word of encouragement to the students, pointing to the music composition before him, the great pianist had exclaimed “I-I ‘the great Paderewski’ eighty-five times I practise this page.”
