In any field, at anytime, anywhere, for a person endowed with the six precious qualities of zeal, courage, fortitude, intelligence, ability and valour (Utsaham, Sahasam, Dhairyam, Buddhi, Shakti, Parakramam), success is assured. These qualities will contribute to all-round well-being. However these qualities will challenge you with various difficulties that you must confront, from time to time. Just as a student must clear tests and examinations to receive a degree, these qualities are also subject to trials in the form of losses, troubles, pain, suffering and even calumny. Such trials should be regarded as stepping stones to your high achievements. One has to overcome these troubles with courage and self-confidence, and move ahead. When you face difficulties with courage, you are bound to succeed.
