Where there is a will there is a way.
उत्तर
“Where there is a will there’s a way” is a message of hope and encouragement. Perseverance leads to success. Most of us are endowed with a fair share of intelligence, and all that is needed for success is diligence and perseverance. Some may not be blessed with good health. Some may not be blessed with a sharp intelligence or a retentive memory. Some may be dull. Yet, it is in the willpower of all to attain a certain standard of success. Thus, we may conclude with another saying “Strong Determination is the key to success”.
