Reflection
Perseverance
Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men.
— Seneca
आग सोने की परीक्षा है; विपत्ति, मजबूत पुरुषों की।
— सेनेका
Why this matters:
Challenges are the refining fires of the spirit. Without the resistance of adversity, we would never know the true quality or resilience of the metal from which we are made.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
चुनौतियां आत्मा की शोधक अग्नि हैं। विपत्ति के प्रतिरोध के बिना, हम कभी भी उस धातु की वास्तविक गुणवत्ता या लचीलेपन को नहीं जान पाएंगे जिससे हम बने हैं।
