Potters shape soft clay on a revolving wheel. It depends on his decision whether he will make a tea-cup or a jar. Life is so. It depends on your decision in the childhood or when you have time to shape your life, whether you will make your life a cheerful one or you will carry it as a donkey carries a burden. As the potter shapes the clay before drying it, life should be shaped in the childhood. Hard labour with a good goal and with robust optimism, firm conviction, iron-determination can shape one's life to such a successful life. SACHINDRA NATH DAS, KOLKATA, INDIA.
