Real life can only be realized after a difficult and arduous struggle. ——Seneca

Among the qualities of perfection, this is the rarest of excellence. All heroes must have some noble qualities. A mediocre person will never win applause. Excellence in noble causes can make us different from ordinary people and become extraordinary people. There is nothing extraordinary about doing well in a humble profession: the easier it is, the less glorious it is. Excellence in a noble cause makes you a king: you are praised everywhere and everyone aspires to you.

There is a kind of humble work that is endured with a spirit of perseverance. The humblest things often lead to the most noble goals

Shakespeare
