A single man can break a stone single-handedly. But how can his credo help our self discovery and development ?
We often overemphasise on effort, without equally emphasising on the environment in which this effort can be successful. The fact however, is that the environment we live in, continuously and gradually shapes us, just like the repeated strikes of a stonecutter eventually weaken the rock. Our chances of success can be gradually increased by positive factors such as supportive work environments, educational opportunities, and nurturing communities.
