Analysis of Self Cheating
If you get valuable things easily,
They become automatically devalued
To devalue things which you achieve
Is not a self cheating?
Let there be obstacles
Let things be hard
And face difficulties
Like the air in the instruments of music
And learn like it how to make sweet tune
Out of adversaries.
