MAN CAN BE DESTROYED BUT CANNOT BE DEFEATED.  

( The  boys in the story "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" have proved themselves.)
The war had torn their lives apart. it had taken away everything from them, their father, home, comfort and thrown them into streets and made them urchins. they were left helpless, yet the boys bounced back. they had the courage to resist their enemies and gumption to face the reality. Instead of giving lame excuses, they have taken up the responsibility of an ailing sister with all devotion. Work was scarce and food a prized commodity, they had made everything possible. in this world of self-absorption and materialism they have redefined family values, importance being together and undaunted spirit to fight against the odds. Living for a cause, sacrificing self for the comfort of other is a noble gesture. Adhering to values even at testing times is an act of heroism ad the boys have proved them to be real heroes.

such stories should be an inspiration for the Youth who complain or fret about non availability of opportunities or facilities and some other reasons for their failure.

Read this limerick and guess what:-

Every home has a sweet and silent foe
lo! it breeds all human woe.
Children sigh about awful pimple;
parents grieve over wretched wrinkle:
Alas! everyone loses eyes' twinkle.
