Once you start working on something,

don’t be afraid of failure and don’t abandon it.

People who work sincerely are the happiest.

 

~ Chanakya

Chanakya  was an ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor. He is traditionally identified as Kauṭilya or Vishnugupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthashastra, a text dated to roughly between the 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE. As such, he is considered the pioneer of the field of political science and economics in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics. His works were lost near the end of the Gupta Empire and not rediscovered until the early twentieth century. ….Wikipedia

Translation: 
Uplift yourself by yourself, do not deprecate yourself.

For only you are your friend, and only you are your enemy.

Meaning:
In order to progress in the spiritual path, in fact, any undertaking, we have to lift ourselves by our own efforts. We are our own friend if we do so, and if we don’t, we become our own enemy. In other words, our success and failure is entirely in our hands. No other person can help or hurt us.

The Bhagavad Gita:

Success and failure

“Failure also looks beautiful,

When you have a person toSupport you.

And, Success also hurts,

When you don’t have a person

to Celebrate with you.

Failure in life

 

                   does not matter;

     

                                      the greatest misfortune

 

                                                                            is standing still.
