“For me, exploration was a personal venture. I did not go to the Arabian desert to collect plants nor to make a map; such things were incidental. At heart I knew that to write or even to talk of my travels was to tarnish the achievement. I went there to find peace in the hardship of desert travel and the company of desert peoples. I set myself a goal on these journeys, and, although the goal itself was unimportant, its attainment had to be worth every effort and sacrifice... No, it is not the goal but the way there that matters, and the harder the way the more worth while the journey.” WayWritingHeartMatterGoalEffortCompanySacrificeJourneyAchievementHarderPlantDesertMapsHardshipExplorationVentureAttainmentUnimportantFinding PeaceArabian Book:Arabian Sands Source: Arabian Sands

“My role models are people who can do things; I say to myself, "I wish I could do that." Like women who endure hardships and turn their luck around and bring up children on their own and start a business. Or a social worker who leaves his country, his comfort, his friends, and goes far away to help people he doesn't know. I want to evolve into that, ultimately. I want to be that person who could sacrifice everything for others.” PeopleKnowsWantChildrenPersonsCountryHelpingTurnsWishSocialCan DoRolesSacrificeComfortModelsLuckWorkersEndureEvolveHardshipRole ModelsFar AwaySocial Worker Author:Queen Rania of Jordan

“If the enemy is to be coerced, you must put him in a situation that is even more unpleasant than the sacrifice you call on him to make. The hardships of the situation must not be merely transient - at least not in appearance. Otherwise, the enemy would not give in, but would wait for things to improve.” IfsGivingWaitingSituationEnemySacrificeMilitaryAppearanceHardshipTransient Book:On War Source: On War
“In the yogic tradition, this principle of using intense effort to burn through life's distractions is called Tapas. It's another Sanskrit word, roughly defined as "heat" or "essential energy." The concept is that through a disciplined approach to work and self-sacrifice, Tapas will burn away the negativity that separates us from God. By working our hardest and happily enduring the hardships of life we are able to create a sense of peace and clarity in ourselves.” SelfAbleActionEnergyEffortPrinciplesSacrificeEssentialsApproachConceptsTraditionEndureIntenseHardestClarityDefinedHeatHardshipDistractionNegativitySelf SacrificeSanskritTapasHardships Of Life Author:Russell Simmons
