"No person, ideal or institution becomes great, until great resistance has been encountered.
Greatness cannot be achieved until this concept is understood. It's a strange thing that lot of people when they encounter resistance, they want to back away.
Unfortunately the average person is ignorant of this rule of achievement. Mr. ad Mrs. average are fearful and reluctant to encounter even slight resistance.
They don't want to make waves or be criticized and they incorrectly feel that criticism will hold them back and prevent their happiness from being realized. In truth, the opposite is the case.
Take note: when we begin to make changes, we are first given resistance by our loved ones for they fear. Change to them means facing the unknown.
When we begin to make rapid achievement or commitment to rapid progress, we have roadblocks thrown up by our friends and relations. They begin to resist by negative
actions and comments which are devices to maintain the status quo.
Now, if you are to achieve great progress, you must prevail against those closest to you. You must hold your ground and ignore their resistance.
This is difficult and requires courage because you desire to please and not hurt those you love.
The truth is great harm will befall your loved ones when you fail to be yourself and do your thing.
This is so because you lose your enthusiasm for life. Your growth process stops and your self esteem diminishes.

Those negatives are reversed when you stand your ground and when you have prevailed.
Our loved ones will have a new and higher respect for you.
History records countless events which prove the point.
Let the great lessons of the past stay in our mind as a beacon in our personal and corporate future.
Let us understand and be grateful that our ideas have proved worthy of resistance.

Today all over the world great forces have risen to resist our growth. These forces fear us and what we present and they are attempting to destroy us and our dreams.
Our understanding of this phenomena and our strength of character and our commitment to our way of life is prevailing over those forces.

We are fortunate to have such great resistance. This resistance is evidence of our greatness and provides us with the energy to prevail.
These next few short years will record a brilliant history and establish a permanent place for our way of life which is freedom to be and to work for our dreams for a great world for ourselves, our children and for all human kind
