Don’t let failure put you down

Letters

WHEN the going gets tough, many tend to give up easily in life.
As the year begins, those whose names are in the media to continue will be so excited.
What about those who don’t find their names in the newspaper or radio to continue?
Well, it will be the most painful moment ever.
Some will even want to hide in their rooms never to be seen by others.
I have been through the same just to realise that it’s a waste of time pleasing others.
Why putting your personal future at risk just because you are ashamed of your failure?
Failure is not a person, it is an event. So, why ashamed of an event that has past gone ?
If you are a student who did not find your name to continue, get back up and try again.
Go back and upgrade.
Or else make your life useful using other alternatives.
If you really want to get a profession and that profession is in the realm of education system, never give up.
It is not where you came from that really matters but where you are going.
Fellow parents, if your child didn’t make it, stop treating him or her as a permanent failure because no one is a permanent failure. Failure is a temporary defeat.
Surprisingly, great men in the history of the world evolution were also great failures. Some never even sat in a classroom.
I for one loves failure when I stumble across it.
Albert Einstein once said, if you have never failed, you have never tried anything new.
Einstein is the father of physics.
Though he encountered numerous failures in life and was rejected from countless Universities, today his equations are full in science text books in universities and colleges throughout the world.
If he gave up, we would have not known him.
On the same token, let your failure be a reason to get back up and try again harder this time.
Nothing changes if nothing changes. If you want your future to change, be the change today.
