Success is sometimes the Progeny of Failure

In life, success is often measured by those who have succeeded by gaining wealth, fame, renown, health, and property. If they have struggled to have achieved such things, people see them as heroes of life and are adulated, emulated, and adored.

However, a blind eye is given to those who have failed, sometimes late in life and sometimes early in life, and struggle to succeed. They are often scorned, looked down upon, or not seen. Do you know about the heartache of such people? Do you offer them support? Do you even know they exist?

Success, my dear friends is sometimes the progeny of failure. There are those who have failed early in their lives by not doing well in their studies, not seizing opportunities when they arrive or are the victims of illness. But do you know that such people when they become wiser will grasp at any opportunity to succeed? These are people who will search and scour the landscape for any opportunity to do something great for themselves. They are fully cognizant of the bitter salty taste of failure. Unlike those who have never failed, they know the price of failure. That is why those who have always succeeded cry bitterly when they reach the apogee of success and Wham! they meet their downfall.

These people can be very ambitious and will work hard and wisely to get somewhere in life. Shouldn’t we give them support and praise? Mind you, failure can come at any time in life. The proud ones see their success and hard work without realizing that failure can hit them like a charging train. There should be an acknowledgment of their ambitiousness and hard work. It is from abject sorrowful failure that they gain success. I tell you never look down on those who fail. You might not know the incredible stuff they are made of. once a chance comes, they grasp it like an eagle grasps its prey in its strong sharp deadly talons…and they will soar as high as they can get. These people will refrain from talking about themselves, they are as quiet as church mice and are humble. Why are they humble? It is because they tread the stony thorny dusty path of life.

So, my friends, if you have succeeded in life regardless of hardship and sacrifice, do not look down on those who fail, but rather be a friend and a support for them. You will learn the great lessons of humility, opportunism, and ambition from such people.
