“Dream big”, said A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. However, is dreaming big alone enough to make them come true?

Not quite. To actualize our dreams and aspirations, we must do more than build mere castles in the air. We ought to work hard.

Hard work, essentially, is the vigorous exertions we put in order to achieve our desired goal. Putting in mere work, of course, will never guarantee success. It is the extra mile that one goes that actually counts.

Thomas Edison, the renowned scientist, has said “There is no substitute for hard work.” Indeed, hard work is the key to success in anyone’s life.

Hard work, after all, is said to never fail.
