THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT HARDSHIP

   
The world is so constructed that
If you wish to enjoy its pleasures,
You must also endure its pains.
Like it or not,
You cannot have one without the other.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish.

It's measured by the opposition you encounter,
And the courage with which you maintain
Your struggle against the odds.

You'll find all things are difficult

Before they are easy.

The greater your obstacles,

The more glory in overcoming them.
So, make up your mind before you start
That sacrifice is part of the package.

No pain, no gain;
No thorns, no throne;
 

You've got to go through the negative

Before you get to the positive.
