Why doesn't constant trampling defeat the dandelion? The key to its strength is its long and sturdy root, which extends deep into the earth. The same principle applies to people. The true victors in life are those who, enduring repeated challenges and setbacks, have sent the roots of their being to such a depth that nothing can shake them.--- Daisaku Ikeda

Contrary to many people's belief, this has not been a "bookish" example in my life. I draw inspiration from it, because i have "felt" it in my life in flesh and blood. and hope to continue doing so....its tough but not impossible.

talking abt this quote is not a coincidence, the precise problem i overcame last year around this time...has re-appeared again with full vigour...yes may be i am swayed for a moment but not uprooted :) AGAIN this difficulty has aroused and AGAIN i will Not be Defeated.

P.S-- the pic is not of a dandelion!
