“I Can” and “I Will”

Do you find yourself in a difficult situation?

Don’t wait for someone to come to your rescue.
It is you and you alone, who must face it and emerge successful.

Be self-reliant and ready to bear the consequences of your actions.
There will be many to give you company when you are well off
just as thousands of frogs gather around a full tank
but hardly a handful when you are in trouble.

Life’s experiences teach you how to swim safely in troubled waters.
Problems are part and parcel of life’s journey.
Equip yourself to face them.

Honeybees build their comb with great effort and store honey in it,
yet someone takes it away.
Do they give up? No—they strive and build a new one.
You too should never be disheartened by setbacks.

Try alternate ways to reach your goal.
Never be a fatalist who gives up halfway, thinking you are not destined to win.
Strive with renewed vigour.

Face challenges instead of asking, “Why me?”
Ask, “What can I learn from this?”

Let “I can” and “I will” be the magical expressions in your inner dialogue.
They are sure to lead you to grand success.
