Deeply committed to a culture of hard work and lofty achievements, Ralph refuses to surrender to the circumstances of fate. His unmitigated quest for success and achievement takes him down a long, dreary path of back-breaking toil, stupendous innovation, profound self-development and disappointing love affairs. Bearing all this hardship of life by himself metamorphoses the person in him into a resilient personality unmoved by the massive ups and downs of life.
