There can be no progress without efforts. Life loses its interest if there is no struggle. For example, games become dull if there is no competition in them and if the result is easily foreseen. No matter we win the game or lose it. The sooner the contest, the greater the enjoyment. A victory is not a real triumph unless both the sides are equally matched. Whether we like it or not, life is a continuous competitive examination. a progress synonymb efforts synonymc interest synonymd struggle antonyme dull antonymf competition synonymg easily antonymh win antonymi enjoyment synonymj victory antonymk real synonyml equally antonymm like synonymn continuous antonym
