What are the keys to success? The answer to this question is different for each of us. But knowing what you want and striving for it remains an underlying factor. Winston Churchill rightly said that “success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is courage”. keep going, it counts. Malala Yousafzai, a seventeen-year-old student and education activist from Pakistan's Swat Valley, embodies this statement. The youngest candidate for the Noble Peace Prize rose to prominence because of her defiance against the tyrants who tried to deprive her and her classmates of their right to education.
