Day is followed by night and night by day. Similarly, in life every period of sorrow and despair has at last to come to end. It is followed by a period of peace, comfort and joy. We must have a firm belief in the goodness of things and have a strong self-confidence. There is no occasion for feeling dismayed. “If hopes are dupes, fears may be liars.”

They assume that smiles and joys will come to our life In spite of the failures, sorrows and sufferings that dampen our spirit. Many situations come when man wants to quit the stage of life. If desires are not fulfilled life, becomes worthless. If man gets no response in love he wants to commit suicide. If his friend leaves him in the lurch he frets and fumes and does not want to survive. He gets many heart-breaks when his dreams vanish like particles of smoke Into the air. Lying on the bed when he takes stock of his life and broods over his misfortunes, he feels like taking an overdose of drugs and embraces the eternal sleep. Still he continues to be alive. Optimistic message which he gets from the writings and experiences of the great minds urge him to carry on. If one is able to show fortitude in the face of odds, they soon evaporate in the thin air, they are soon overcome. So one should not lose one’s heart, come what may.
