"Efforts are more valuable than success is."

Everyone of us "Worships the rising Sun", we are always so much passionate to know about successful people and their successes. All of us also talk a lot about our own successes!!!
But how often we that success comes only by pouring in efforts. Many of us (if not all) had not made it to success sometime, despite best of our efforts. And when we look back, we feel bad. And if we look back with a broader vision, we find that the efforts haven't had gone wasted, but they have given us the most valuable lesson "Never say die"!
This makes me always appreciate "Efforts" than "Success". For that matter I consider that success is a "passe" and efforts are "present". Now there is a new peak ahead to be conquered, wherein efforts are required. And its only "efforts" that will keep me "Alive".
