In your lifetime, there will be at least one hundred times wherein you shall feel the immense weight of failure on your shoulders, some of which may be enough to drive you up to the point of giving up. And i tell you, it's no joke being in that situation. It's frustrating, nerve racking, even dumbfounding. Failures are omnipresent ordeals that we can never escape from. People will tell you to face them because they're the compelling reality of life and they will let you grow. But I tell you this, avoid failures, and when they do come, deny them. Deny them with a closed heart, a cold heart not capable of accepting failure-- the heart of an undying and never-say-die fighter. This heart shall lead you well.
When I say DENY FAILURE, i meant its entrance to your heart. You must not allow its entrance to your subjected heart. You must be strong and withstand the challenge of failure because failure is nothing more than a challenge you throw upon yourself. Failure is your own doing, and as such there's no way you cannot get out of it or face it or beat the hell out of it. You have the power to deny its entrance because you made it yourself. You alone have the power to create something out of that failur
e, to prove it wrong, and to prove yourself right like the person you really are.
It's not hard, you know, giving up. It's the easiest way. But I ask you this: have you ever in your life encountered these sentences/phrases:
Take the road less travelled?
With great power comes great responsibility?
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in risnig up every time we fail?
I tell you, it's not about that.
It's about standing up for your own decision. It's about being a man of your own words.
Because really now, these are just a bunch of sayings, you can formulate your own, for all I care. But these sayings had their bearings when someone attested to them. They became real, supreme and encompassing when a person proved it, when a person stood up for it, when a person lived out the exact meaning of the quote.
You see it's not whether we choose what's right or what's wrong that measure us as persons. What measures us as persons, as human beings is our ability to step up to the challenge, to stand up for what we believe in and defend our decision. It is courage over frailty and decisiveness over failure.
So I dare you, give up!
Fail!
But stand up.
Stand up for your decision.
