Happiness for free?

Please see the picture of the kids who are enjoying their slider ride.

These children are enjoying the free fall on the slider when they are coming down from the top of the slider

.

They are smiling and having fun.

However, this is not the complete picture of the slider because part of it is hidden in this picture.

The complete picture of a slider is as following.

You can easily see in this picture that on the opposite side of the slider, there is a ladder.

You have to first ride the ladder to reach to the top of the slider and then only you can enjoy the free fall on the slider.

If you are not willing to take the pain of riding the ladder, you can’t enjoy the joy of the slider.

In the same way, all our happiness are the result of our pain.

If there is no pain, there is also no gain.

• A player practices for years before he wins a medal in the field.
• A students studies for decades before he gets his dream job.
• An entrepreneurs suffers for years before he gets success and wealth.
• A leader suffers years of humiliation and failure before he succeeds and gets adulation of people.

Nothing worthwhile can ever be achieved in this world free of cost.

How can you hope to achieve happiness, the greatest and the most valued desire of human being, without paying the due price for it?
