उत्तर
There is a wise saying that, ‘While in the search for success, use the stairs’. Success that comes steadily and in a meticulous manner stays for a relatively longer time.
Lives of great people show us that success is earned in a slow and steady manner. The Curies, for example, spent almost their entire life in the fulfilment of their dreams i.e. the discovery of Radium and Polonium. Mahatma Gandhi is respected for his weapon of Satyagraha, which steadily but surely won India her freedom. We live in an age of ‘get rich quick’ or ‘lose weight fast’. All these fast techniques only result in losing money quickly and no other benefits. Short-cuts may often seem attractive from a distance but turn out to be dangerous or unsuccessful in the long run. People, who use short ways to reach success, are unable to enjoy it as much as the ones who steadily climb the ladder of success. If one desires to enjoy success to its fullest, they must avoid taking shortcuts.
