According to me effort is more important than knowledge. Because we can not get or extract knowledge without our efforts. There is an old saying in hindi…
KOSHIS KARNE WALO KI KABHI HAAR NAHI HOTI.
So we have to give our efforts to get anything. There are lot of burning examples in this world which told that because of their efforts they are at top positions in their areas.
Kaalidaas- kaalidas was a foolish woodcutter. Once upon a time he was cutting that specific branch of tree on which he was sitting. But some scholars married him to a very educated lady named Vidyotma. After marriage vidyotma knew all the truth. She scolded Kalidas and said to him, “you are a foolish and totally uneducated”. After hearing all this crap, kalidaas left his home and went to the temple of MA KALI and gave all his efforts to make educated himself. And finally by his efforts he became the Shakespeare of india and became a renowned poet.
Dhiru bhai ambani- dhiru bhai ambani starts his business with little amount of money and he has done a lot of work and gave his all efforts to improve his business. Now he has become the global industrialist in the world. This is because of his hardworking and consistency. So we never try to quit any task. Your perception must be like that every task is challenge for you.
So according to me and above examples, without efforts we can not achieve anything in this world.
