personalities. The other kind of people are those who set a great task as their goal. Thus, their minds release a greater amount of energy for the performance of this task, and so they become superachievers. Man himself is the master of his destiny. This saying is true, but not in any mysterious sense. It all depends on how much a person has unfolded his mind and how much energy the mind has released. One achieves greater or smaller successes in life depending on how much energy one’s mind releases. Every man is a self-made man. But the quantum of success depends on one’s own planning. Wise planning makes one a superman, while unwise planning makes one lag behind in life. The mind of a man is like a great water reservoir. Opening the gate of this reservoir depends on one’s target. If one’s target is ordinary then the mind will open the door of energy on a lesser scale. But, if the target is a high one, the mind will open the gate of energy on a higher scale. It is this difference that decides the level of one’s achievement. Never complain to others. Try to utilize your own mind, and you will certainly achieve anything you want to in life. o It is the mind that is the master of the human personality, as it controls all of our activities. Studies show that all our performances depend totally on our minds. Peace Peace relates to ‘means’ and not to ‘ends’. All peace does is open up opportunities. It is then up to people to avail of these opportunities to achieve their goals. Peace cannot present a person with what he desires. It is for the person himself to reach his goal through planning and struggle.
