It is not luck but labour that makes man. Luck, says an American Writer, is ever waiting for something to turn up; labour with keen eyes and strong will always turns up something. Luck lies in bed andwishes the postman would bring him news of legacy ; labour turns out at sixand with busy pen ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence . Luck whines, labour watches. Luck slips downwards to self-indulgence; labour strides upwards and aspires to independence. The conviction therefore, is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck. In other words that a man's success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to hisindustry, to his attention to small things. 42.Which one of the following statements sumps up the meaning of the passage ?
