As usual, things bee difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions. I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, Many of life39。 I decided to hang on, telling myself, I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles. I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure. Success es to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently.
