Self Reliance: The Guiding Principle to Greater Heights

…In all civilization, there is a fundamental belief in supreme deity who guides and protects the people as they match along the road to success. But above all, there is an unshaken belief in self-reliance. This is the guiding principle.
Self-reliance result in self approval anytime a little success is gained. This, in turn increases the belief and dependence on the self. The more you conquer odds, the more you trust on your judgment, the more proud you become of your effort. Self reliance is an integral virtue without which the mountaineer is left at the bottom of the valley, helplessly gazing up at the height he could have conquered. This is true for the individual as it is for a nation; the former being a unit of the later.
A nation that is seeking a golden age must have entrenched in its nationals these two qualities – a deep, deep belief in God and an attitude of self reliance. The former replenish spiritual strength while the later is the inevitable tool that carves out a sure path in the material jungle.
Once the majority can develop and put to use the attitude of self reliance, the nation is planted on the path to its golden age!
