This proverbindirectly drives home the idea that life is not always smooth.

The plain meaning of this proverb is that we are bound to face difficulties. But at the same time we must not brood over difficulty.

Man’s liic cannot be a bed of roses, Ups and downs are very common in everyone’s life. Be it a millionaire or an ordinary man, everyone has to face both happiness and sorrow; success and failures; defeat and victory.

It is not always possible to witness only success. At the same time it is not necessary to meet only failures. We must take life as it comes. But we must do our duty.

Let us not bother about the results. In a race, all the participants cannot get the first place.

Though all the participants had enough training over a period of time, yet only one gets the
gold. It is nature. We can learn only from our failures.

Thus difficulties are common and one must try to overcome difficulty through constant efforts.
