Life is like a continuous drama. A man has to fight against numerous odds from birth till death. His challenges become more and more acute day by day. Even a new born baby has to cry in order to get its feed. As a child grows, he fights against ignorance. He protects himself against heat and cold, against diseases and death. He tries hard to achieve honour and wealth. He scales the mountains and explores into the sea. His actions involve risk. There are no gains without pains. In this world, only the fittest survive. The whole history of mankind is a story of man’s struggle against forces of nature. Struggle has its rewards and pleasure. Why then should one shun it or try to escape from it? It is always known that laziness and negligence are our arch enemies.
