Once upon a time there was a king who wanted to compile the “wisdom of ages”. He gathered his wise men together and asked them to carry out the urgent task immediately, and condensed it into a book. The wise men began their research and after one year they returned with a thick book on the “wisdom of ages”. The king was pleased, but requested them to condense it further. The wise men went back to work and after few months later came back with only one chapter. But the king still insisted that it was too long. Finally, after more thinking and hard works the wise men condensed it into a sentence. When the king read it he was very pleased and said, “This is truly the wisdom of ages.” The sentence simply said, “There is no free lunch”!

Yes, it’s very true indeed, “there is no free lunch”. If you want success then you will need to invest your time, effort, and money to get it. If you want good employees working for you, you will have to pay them more, so that they will stay with you. There is always a price to pay for everything! As the saying goes, “if you pay peanuts, you will get peanuts”. The Law of Compensation states that, “You will receive according to the effort you put in”.

Here is a Success Principle to remember…

“If you want to achieve success, you need to prepare to pay for the PRICE first before you can obtain the PRIZE”. Most people want to get the PRIZE before they pay the PRICE. The success principle doesn’t work this way.

there is no free lunch in life
