Nearly all men can stand adversity but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. _Abraham Lincoln.
The last scene of Harry Potter movie when Harry breaks the elder wand into parts and throws it thousands of feet down spots on his sheer bravery. He knew if he had elder wand for the rest of his life it might corrupt him, it might make the worst of him come out and it might reduce the level of endeavours he is known for taking. He doesn't believe in having alot of power and standing as the strongest man but he favors to be someone who puts his heartly struggles into every thing he does.
Life is all about doing best endeavors not getting shortcuts to achievements. The taste that efforts provide is the most delicious achievement in the world. With ease and effortless success we hardly value things we have got and we take them for granted only. Hardwork and dedication towards the goals make you respect and love your aims for lifetime.
