There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch


 

“Be passionate, persistent, and patient. There is nothing like an overnight success. Work hard, wise, and smart to stand out from others. I failed many times in my life. I fail every day. But I don't have any regrets because I learn lessons and move on with valuable takeaways.” ―Professor M.S. Rao

 

I often tell my students that there is no free lunch in this world. I rose from humble origins with a toxic family background. When I was 18 years old, I dropped out of college to support my family and joined the Indian Air Force. I had to struggle hard to earn my livelihood. I sacrificed my personal time, invested a portion of my monthly salary and resources, and acquired several qualifications including DME, BSc, MA, MBA, PGDCLL, and PGDBM. I earned my Ph.D. in 2011. I understand the pain of life. I am a self-made man. I have come to know that nothing is free in this world.

 

The government often says it offers certain things free to its citizens. But the fact is that people pay by way of taxes. That is the reality. The concept of things are free is a myth indeed!

   

You rarely get things on a platter. There is no free lunch in the world. Nothing is free. Everything comes at a cost. You must work hard, work smart, and work wisely to establish yourself and achieve success. If anything comes easily, it goes away easily. So, work hard to succeed in your life. To conclude, nothing is free. You pay for it.
