failures... successes... failures... successes
life is never a straight line. there is practically nothing on this earth that travels in a straight line... light travels in waves, aeroplanes fly at a gradient. nothing is straight. ups and downs are inevitable.
failure, something that i have been learning to cope with recently. i know that meeting with failures is inevitable but i just cannot take it in my stride. i break down and cry (literally). i just can't take it although i tell myself i have done my best.
however i have learnt from a great senior that if we fail, then just take it as it is. as common and as stupid it may sound. it made alot of sense to me. in life when we fall we pick ourselves up and we progress.furthermore we must not make the same mistakes. fool me once, shame on me. fool me twice, shame on you. without making mistakes, we will not know many things. it is our fear of making mistakes that has made us such fragile beings, especially since we have attained so much. the higher we go the greater the fear, and when we meet our fear straight in the face, we shatter to pieces, blown to smithereens.
the scary part about success is the failure which results from the erosion of personal morals and values and complacency. i have learnt my lesson. after attaining success i will try even harder so as to attain more successes and make sure io only go up not down.
for many of my friends out there who have suffered the same fate as i have. i urge u to pick yourself up, heal your wounds and continue moving forward. only by moving forward can you attain success.
Lastly, do your best in whatever you do, live life to the fullest and have no regrets!
