The Master Spirit Men are of three sorts. It is the circumstances that mould the first sort. Such persons drift along the current of circumstances.
The second sort of men cannot enter a battle against circumstances, nor would they drift along the current of circumstances. So, they eschew the onset of circumstances and devote themselves to their ideal, going into seclusion.
The third sort of men are not moulded by circumstances, but verily mould the circumstances themselves. Mustering unflinching resistance when the occasion calls for, against the onslaught of circumstances, they win control of the circumstances and triumph over them. Such are the persons who alone can leave the abiding impress of their puissant spirit on time, on the world, on circumstances as well!
Springs of Success The lucid springs of success greet not one who digs a hundred trenches one arm deep, but one who digs one well a hundred arms deep!
