Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment~ Gandhi Quotes

When you do something with great effort, you get satisfaction from your work. But at the same time when you did it by attainment, you did not get the real satisfaction. Work done by effort gives you a kind of satisfaction which other things can’t give you.

That’s why Mahatma Gandhi’s quote, “Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment” is completely relatable with everyone. Let us take any situation, maybe your exam, if you give your exam by putting 100% effort you will be satisfied with your exam even if you don’t get the best result. Similarly if you achieve something by attainment and also get your best result you will not be satisfied with your result.

Work done by using something which is off 0 effort does not give you satisfaction. We do our work by not giving the effort we should give and hence we start making ourselves guilty. But we should do our work effortly so that we can get satisfaction from our work.
