Every cloud has a silver lining. 

Sometimes we see dark clouds in the sky. But if we look at them closely, we can see that edges are sunlit white. This silver lining tells us that the sun is somewhere behind the clouds. Such clouds da mor remain in the sky for a long time. They disappear quickly and the sky is clear again with the silver light of the sun. The proverb expresses the idea that sorrows and misfortunes are only temporary, Sorrows will be followed by happiness Whenever there is shadow, light must be near. Whenever there is darkness day light is near. Joy and sorrows are part of life. We should not lose hope in times of sorrows The sorrows and calamities may be a blessing in disguise. Only when one goes through the difficulties of life, one becomes a complete man. They strengthen us to face the greater misfortunes in life boldly Behind every grief and pain, there is a silver thread of joy and happiness. The famous English poet Shelley has expressed the sa idea in his poem, "Ode to the West Wind" in which he asks " winter comes can spring be far behind"

Pride goes before a fall.

Perhaps there is nothing attractive as pride. Men always love to ompare their worth and success with those of other. They have the habit of speaking so high of themselves as well as their possession. Beger home, newer car, larger office and larger salary must be bowed. This is a bad practice. This leads one into superiority amplex. He may treat his fellow inferior to him. He does not care about his mistakes. History is replete with examples of kings who fell because of their pride. Hitler was so proud of his power. His proud alumately proved to be the cause of his downfall and death. The British were proud of their dynasty and did not treat the colonized people well. As a result the colonized people revolt against them. To ente another example, the overconfidence of the captain as well as the unlor of Titanic is one of the reasons of the tragic event. They underestimated the iceberg which broke the ship and sank it, drowning hundreds of life. The historical examples are the lesson for em who feel too proud and underestimate the others. However, pride makes people forget that they never really accomplish by their own power or might. Actually, they have nothing that they have not already given. Therefore, no matter whatever one's capacity is, one should not feel proud of it.

Man is the architect of his own fortune.

Man is the maker of his fate and God also helps those who help themselves. There are trials and tests God presents them but he also rewards then with results which results are won by one's own efforts. Man makes his fate not fate the man. Nothing is impossible for a man who possesses self-confidence and self-reliance Misfortunes, if they come, should be treated as test times, they ten Misfondurance, your forbearance, your fort just res the dusk alway turns into the dawn. There are men who just resign to whatever tumes they say it was so destined, it was of fortun This is the cometist's attitude. True that there are tums of fortune and they defeatist's our life. But efforts can change the direction of the wind dell can move mountains. Man should keep on with his efforts; be should not succumb or surrenders but should keep fighting on if winter comes can spring be far-behind so sang the poet Shelley Faith in one; in one's capacities and capabilities can turn the tide. if one sits holding his head that there is all darkness, whither to go, let him take steps forward and there would be light at the end of the nunnel. Man can make or mar one's life fame and fortune is there but nothing is impossible to be achieved for a man of a strong will.

Failures are the Pillars of Success

Success is not so easy, sometimes it comes after several failures in life. We may fail once and again but we should strive for the success We should not consider failure as the end of our hope. We should remember that every failure has a chance to be success. Failure is a curse to those who lack in action and have no determination. However, failure cannot dishearten a hopeful man. It develops our latent powers and strengthens our mind. It teaches a man to be self- determined. Failure makes us conscious of our defects and helps us to rectify ourselves. By rectifying our faults, we can start our work with new energy and finish it successfully. Therefore, failure can be the pillars instead of damping our spirits, paves the way for success.
