Examples of thus in a Sentence

1. Prashant Agarwal:

   Whenever an opportunity knocks the door, a far sighted and an insightful man always try to follow a correct path with patience and with full consciousness to grab it, that enables and enhances the chance for him to win. On the other hand, ignorant and silly individuals see opportunities as a source for someone else benefits, thus instead of following a path to seek opportunities for themselves, they divert from the course of path and thus fall.

Thus far, this administration has fallen well short.
