Have anyone ever thought about success and failure OUT-OF-THE-BOX ?. Everybody thinks that success is the result of something we have done right in the right way. And Failure being that of something we should have done right, but came out wrong. Success or failure as the world thinks are the by-products of human inputs in the right or wrong proportions. Inputs for success is said to be hard work, commitment, talent and other such things whereas failure results in the absence of such inputs. These are true to and extent.
Failure almost always results in humiliation, inadequacy, insecurities and instability of our sensitive mind. While Success leads to admiration, adoration, acceptance and to a certain degree, fame. The greater the degree of success, the greater the fame.

What I am trying to tell you all through this is that, the way in which we as people see things in life has become so narrow that to a certain point it has become, blind or might I say, even cruel.
We as people need to see someting for not just what it is, but something more. There is always more to everything that we see around us. Take for example something as simple and common as water. We ALL know about water is that it sustains life on this planet (also air). We can't live without water. No living thing can. But how many of you know that water is what which holds this planet together. How many of you know that water is the thing which keeps the ground below us from falling apart. How many of US know that water is the thing or the only substance thats keeping this planet habitable. Likewise, things in life are always seen by us as just the way they are presented to us. In my opinion, Narrow, Meaningless and Insignificant.

Now lets get back to our problem. What I've found out is that success is very much an implied result of failure as is Failure in relation to success.Just look back into you your life. Look back to the days when you were a teenager at school. Take for example, you were taking your math classes. You start off with a new chapter. You and most of you friends start off with giving wrong answers to most of the questions given to you. But as you progress, you will start getting it correct. Why? Because you found where you went wrong. NOW, will it be right for me to say now that your failures led you to success.
As for failure, we will take the same scenario. You are have constantly been one of the top scorers in all your class. Then one day when the results for one of your test read - FAIL. You can't seem to think but wonder how this happened. But as you read on, you see that a minor carelessnes from your part caused this. So Folks, Success here lead to failure. You were so overconfident and sure of yourself that you thought failure was not a part of your life.

So the thing for all of us to know that is the simple fact that, everything good OR bad happens for a reason. Success for me has always been good and failures even better. Because, a failure shows me where I went wrong or what I was lacking. To rectify and to fill that gap. It made me look back and start from where I went wrong, to start anew, not for me to succeed but to be better, stronger and more than just what I used to be.

Don't be blinded by success nor be hammered down by failure.

And like someone once told me, " The past is like an iron mountain, immovable and resolute. But the future is like the perfect potter's clay which can be moulded into whatever you want it to be."

(And to all my friends who have taken their exams and are waithing for their results. Success is good, but if you fail... doing something stupid because of it is a sure sign of weakness and cowardice. Be strong and learn from it. Show the world that there is SO MUCH MORE to things that happen in life, be it good or bad. You might ask, "how the hack are YOU supposed to know how it feels like?". To tell you the truth, you have no IDEA how much I know it feels to be in your position. I've felt the epitome of success and the never-ending abyss of failure. Thats a story for some other time. Now go on and think about what I've just told you and be sure to write any question you might wanna ask in the comments column.)
