Failures

“Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. “--Helen Keller.

These words give us strength, strength everyday to carry on – however arduous and impossible a task may seem, we carry on, carry on without thinking of the end results. It makes us a better and a cheerful person at the end of the day. We learn from our failures and mistakes and move on. We look back and we see the path we have traversed, the miles we have covered, the elevation we have reached – we don’t look up and think of the distance we have to climb. We know however difficult it may seem, however obstacles we have to face, we will make our way up – up there one day. We will reach the summit one day…

Who are they to stop us? How can they kill the passion within us? As we walk hand in hand, take blows all together; we are a force to reckon with. We call them a bunch of snobs as they deny us; we have a hearty laugh. Rejection makes us stronger…

“Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts. The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it; so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. There is no failure except in no longer trying.”
--Elbert Hubbard
