When there is will, there is a way looks true. Clinical psychologists not only stress on motivation for thinking and aiming high as key management principles for young students and workers in all walks of life, but confirm that no one loses on any count unless and until someone accepts defeat.
Biographies abound in failures of great achievers, who considered ‘failures as stepping stones leading to success’.

The fact that funds are not always a problem for welfare measures, is also now proven, when AAP leaders declared that intentions were the only factor, holding up many pre-poll promises.
The last nail in the coffin of false promises was driven when in a TV interview, the BJP president quipped that it was simply a ‘poll campaigning phrase’ (chunaavi jumla), when questioned about bringing back black money from foreign accounts and crediting every family’s account with rupees 15 lakh as promised by PM during foregoing general elections.
The real ‘bhagodaas’ who run away from looking into poll promises, let alone implementing them were exposed the day AAP was cornered by BJP and Congress both coming together to oppose anti-corruption Janlokpal Bill.
