Do you think struggle and success go hand in hand ?

You are right. Few things really worthwhile in life come easy. We are meant to climb to the top rather than the top just showing up at our doorsteps.

YES, to succeed in life, you have to struggle, first. You cannot hope to achieve anything in life by starting to walk before you crawled. Sometimes a lot of successfull people should never have learned to walk. No offence. If you cannot handle success, you really have a problem.

Overcoming the struggle leads to the greatest successes. I mean, how much of a success is it to actually succeed without any struggles? If its so easy, that means there's no challenge. Thus I feel that by struggling, when we actually do succeed, everything is so much better. In the end, the success is earned.
