Failing

We have read of many successful men/women committing suicide after a major failure. Young people who dared to try but failed have often slipped into despair and oblivion. It is not that these peolple were unable to handle the failure but the stigma that failure carried was too heavy and when society pulled the 'planks' from underneath them, they had no other choice but to 'sinks'! We have also heard of the saying - 'Give me 10 bad losers and I'll Give you back 10 good winners'.
Sometime ago I had the good or bad fortune of watching a game of competitive tennis. I had never seen a worse bad loser. The world seems to have a lot of bad losers like this person and they seem to be able to get away with all that vulgarity they hurled about. It seems that when you curse and swear when you lose then you have the potential to be a good winner. I think the best they become is a bad winner not a good winner, and definitely not a great winner. I believe the great winner is yet to come - one who has understood what failing really is! As the saying goes - ' Give me 10 losers who understand what losing means and I'll give you 10 great winners!'
Maybe it's the misconception of what 'success' is all about.
Many people tend to associate achievement with success and non-achievement with failure.
If you have obtained a lump of gold, you are success. If not you are failure.
If you obtain a paper degree, you are success. If not you are failure.
If you close the deal, you are success. If you don't you are failure.
If you get a job, you are success. If not you are failure.
If you manage to get a girl/boy, you are success. If not you are failure.
In our journey through life, we have always thought of sunshine as good -  and equated it with success, and rain as bad associated with failure. Most of us don't like the rain. We would prefer the sunshine. We would prefer the good times rather than the bad.
But are good times really that nice? Or the bad times really that bad?
Are easy times really that good? Are hard times to be dreaded?
What would happen if we were exposed to sunshine everyday? We would get sunburnt or even suffer from skin cancer! Now what happens if we stay in the rain everyday? We will get pneumonia and may even die of cold. It looks like both sides don't seem to be the answer. We do know however that both sides do give some benefits. As a wise man once said, 'Summer is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind is bracing, snow is exhilarating, there is no such thing as a bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.'
' Something good always comes from something bad'.

Keep thinking guys we learn from our failures not from our successes!
