Having a strong will

Whatever you do, do it with a strong will. Look at me for example. I have no education and hold no degree, but I am strong-willed, and I managed to establish this temple. I pursued my goal with determination and perseverance. Then I see others, some with a bachelor?s degree, master?s degree, or even doctorates, who could not accomplish what they set out to do. I can tell that they lack determination and perseverance. They are the type who give up too easily when they run into the smallest of obstacles. As uneducated as I am, what I have is a strong will, and this strong will leads me to success. As I look into the future, I see that if we lack the will in this life, we will never achieve success in future lives. So whatever you do in this life, make sure you do it earnestly.
