Quote of the Day

“Nothing is achieved without hard work. What is achieved without hard work never yields any results.”

— Rajinikanth

Deep meaning of this thought: Personality is formed not by shortcut but by spiritual practice.

This statement by Rajinikanth explains the eternal law of life, success and karma in very simple words:

  • The foundation of true achievement is hard work: Nothing valuable in life can be achieved without dedication, sacrifice and sweat. When a person works day and night for a goal, only then the real value of that achievement is understood.

  • Success of shortcuts and freebies is fleeting: Success achieved without effort or through unfair means is like a bubble in water. She may look attractive, but she does not have the ability to withstand the ravages of time. Whatever is easily obtained slips away just as quickly.

  • The fruit is not just the result, it is self-satisfaction: Rajinikanth indicates that the real reward of hard work is not just material wealth or position, but the inner character, patience and efficiency that develops within us during hard work. What is achieved without hard work can neither give self-respect nor mental peace.
