Robert Bruce was a valiant king of Scotland. He fought many battles to liberate his country from, the despotic dictatorship and brutality of the English. Nevertheless, he could never succeed in his efforts. Once he made full preparations for war. He wanted to fight a decisive battle. He was extremely confident of his victory. He fought courageously and fearlessly but to no avail. He was defeated so badly that he had to run away from the battlefield to save his life. He hid in a cave and began to ponder over his faults that brought about his defeat despite the full-fledged preparations.
He was so frustrated and grieved at his defeat that he decided to abandon his struggle for freedom. Preoccupied with his thoughts, he lay down in the cave. Eventually, he caught sight of a spider that was ascending the wall to reach its cobweb. The spider tell down but began to climb again. It attracted the attention of the king. The spider tried many times to reach its destination but could not. Every time it fell down, it tried, with new determination. It failed nine times but did, not get hopeless. The king thought that the spider would never try again to get at the web. However, to his Surprise, he saw the spider climbing again. This time, it succeeded in reaching its cobweb. This inspired the king so much that he got a new enthusiasm to resume his struggle. He gathered his army again and fought fiercely with an unusual spirit of victory Ultimately, he defeated his enemy and won freedom for his county.

Try, try again.
God helps those who help themselves.
No pains, no gains.
Despair is a sin.

Nothing venture, nothing have.
Fortune favors the brave.
The key to success is constant struggle.
