Today · Thirukkural · verse 616 · Discipline

முயற்சி திருவினை ஆக்கும் முயற்றின்மை இன்மை புகுத்தி விடும்.

Muyatchi thiruvinai aakkum muyatrin̄mai / Inmmai puguththi vidum.

Effort accomplishes noble work; the absence of effort ushers in nothing but want.

Prosperity and virtue alike flow from sustained action—not from circumstance, but from the choice to labor. Laziness does not merely fail to build; it actively demolishes what you might become.
