Abstract

It is amazing when we begin to think how many of us wander through the vale of life without any particular end in view. We are born, we grow, we act our various parts, and are ultimately consigned to oblivion, without having had any great accomplishment to our credit. We do not realize until we give a thought to it, how much we are slaves to circumstances and how little we try to rise above them so as to look at things from a wider perspective. If we study the lives of world's great men and compare them with ours we will realize what life led by those great men signifies. We will find, that a life lived strenuously for a mighty purpose, is as different from a purposeless life, as light is from darkness. We find in the lives of great men a passion dominating all their activities. It is their singleness of purpose and perseverance that helped them to achieve their goal.
