CONSISTENT PRACTICE IS THE

KEY TO SUCCESS

An amount of fear helps in pushing us towards hard work.

Fear and self doubts are like fire—if in excess will burn and destroy the
individual. If one is carefree one can become over confident about
one’s capabilities. If anxieties, fears are kept under control it brings
best out of an individual.
So,
Believe in yourself, anything is possible for a willing heart;
Aim high, Never give up, In fact, in every adversity lies an
opportunity.
