Your present situation crafts your future. Nobody can deny this adage. Because every one of us has encountered individuals who struggled against their aversive situations to turn them conducive and prosper so rapidly that the people around them watching their progress either call them achievers or lucky.

Success is the hardest nut to crack. It will not come to you quickly unless you entice it with your conviction, inextinguishable willpower to achieve what you desire, and hard work. So, calling such strugglers lucky who burn their blood to reach the other end of their lives called success will never be justifiable.

Achievers like Gunvant Thakor consider the hardest of the hard situations as a source of inspiration to overcome them. The unbearable situation itself encourages them to change it. Not just that, overcoming an aversive situation offers them an opportunity to know themselves better and progress while the time and situation test them.
