PASSAGE – I (Q.191–195)
It is not luck but labour that makes a man. Luck, says an American author, is ever waiting for something to turn up; labour with keen eyes and strong will power turns up some- thing. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy; labour turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labour watches. Luck relies upon chance, la- bour upon character. Luck slips downwards to self- indulgence; labour strides upwards and aspires to independ- ence. The conviction, therefore, is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck. In other words, a man’s success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to his industry, to his attention to small things.
