8. Where There Is a Will, There Is a WayA well-known proverb goes that "where there is a will, there is a way",
which means that one can find a way to success as long as he or she has a strong
will. With a strong will, one can focus all his energy on one point, which makes
his success possible. Without a strong will, however, one can be easily
distracted from his goal or discouraged by setbacks, which leads to his ultimate
failure.
History abounds with examples of strong-willed figures winning success.
Actually, there is no better illustration of the proverb than the deeds of Gou
Jian, king of Yue in ancient China. Defeated by Fu Chai, king of Wu, Gou tried
every means possible to steel his will. Eventually, with the help of Fan Li and
Xi Shi, he managed to rebuild his country and his armies and had Fu Chai taste
the bitterness of failure.
In short, a strong will is essential if we want to make achievements in our
studies or work, or indeed in any other aspect of our lives. One should lose no
chance to strength his will and remember, God helps those who help
themselves.
