उत्तर
Another example that shows that a beautiful appearance is not enough is that of the stag and his antlers. The stag was very proud of his beautiful antlers and ashamed of his spindly and ugly legs. One day, he was chased by hunters. His beautiful antlers got entangled in the low branches of a tree, and the hunters nearly caught and killed him. He got his antlers free just in time and escaped because his spindly legs helped him to run fast, away from the hunters.

He can also be an inspiration to you. He is proof that it’s not environment or education or technical skills and ability that make you success. He proves that it takes more: it takes the principles we so often overlook or take for granted. These are the principles of that Ya Gotta’s for success.
