उत्तर
A pupil may think that securing a first-class at an examination is beyond his reach; an engineer may feel that harnessing the tidal sea wave to run the machine is impracticable; a medical researcher may believe that a particular disease is incurable. But if each one of these makes a firm resolve to achieve his goal and applies himself to it wholeheartedly, it is almost certain that success will crown his relentless efforts. History often bears out the truth of this assertion. There was a time when flying in the air orbiting the Earth, travelling in space, and sending speech over the air were all regarded as flights of fancy. But today, we see that these seemingly impossible things have become possible. The aeroplane, the spaceship, the radio, and the television are now realities.
How have these impossibilities been achieved? The answer is clear and simple by: man's supreme willpower, determination, and dedication. The great doer is never a pessimist or a defeatist. He is a staunch optimist, confident of ultimate success. Nothing can stop, daunt, or deflect him from his avowed purpose. He knows that where there is a will, there is a way. He has the will to win, so he finds ways and marches through to ultimate victory. A man of will explore the earth's impassable deserts and impenetrable forests, scales Mount Everest, sails to the North Pole and the South Pole, plumbs the depths of oceans, conquers space and one by one conquers the forces of nature and dreadful diseases. Nothing is impossible for him; his inventive genius is the crown of creation.
Let us cultivate a strong will, a keen desire, and the determination to achieve our ideals, for where there is a will, there is a way. If there's no way, we will make one. Victory is bound to be ours.
