Interestingly, there was much participation of the students in this part of the session. One has to be motivated throughout life because life is continuity from childhood to the old age. One has no escape from this.
Success in life can only be achieved through perseverance. Any attempt to break the continuity is a problem. To keep up the process of normality of the momentum, we have to get motivated. Motivations can be from any person or event. For example, Beethoven usually got inspired from the lightening and the fast winds to compose music. So motivations come from different directions. The most famous example of falling Apple on Newton’s head is widely mentioned even today, though there lacks authenticity.
