“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”
– Pele
The modern materialistic approach, at times, drives people to become too greedy. While it is one thing to be ambitious, people often overstep their bounds and affect others negatively. In this materialistic era, many fall victim to an inferiority complex when they fail to meet the standards set by those in their surroundings. Being embarrassed by their critical conditions, countless individuals consider admitting defeat and giving up on their dreams. Although, it has been observed that embracing one’s hardships and failures can be the epitome of victory. Similarly, in this article, we discuss the sufferings followed by the immense success of Taeho Style and how he used his cruel conductions as a fundamental factor in his notable growth.
