Walking on the path of life…

Walking on the path of life, I experienced an unusual scene
“Mr. success” and “Mr. failure” greeted me with a smile so pristine
“Mr. Success” shook my hand and gave a gentle bow
“Mr. Failure” shrugged and said, “Goodbye, it’s time for me to go”

I exclaimed and asked Mr. Success if, he could walk by me forever
He said it was difficult, as he had to move from one person to another
I bent over him and whispered in his ears, “ How do I escape failure”
He laughed and said: “ we are twins”; and I was surprised to hear

I was taken aback suddenly to see two identical men standing in front
They looked similar in every aspect and were looking no different
I wondered and asked myself “ how is success different from failure?”
One of them stepped forward to explain; I was eager to hear

He explained, “Success and failure lies in the eyes of the beholder”
Failure gives you agony and pain; but it also makes you bolder
It’s your attitude that decides whether you walk with me or my brother
We are just your state of mind; we can be replaced by one another

that was beautiful....
more than anything else, guess i was highly impressed by the concept...
But after reading it a couple of times, i felt that failure could be more useful than success...
So its good to face failure a few times after all....

So there goes a loud round of applauds :) *clap,calp,calp,calp,calp,clap*

That was beautiful! I guess perhaps failure is necessary if we are truly able to appreciate success?

Thanks for popping by my blog! I'll be back to yours! Nice work!

machaan...this is tooo gud...reeely inspiring[:)]..success/failure is just a state of mind..how very true..there r people whom we feel r successful n happy, but they dont seem to be contented..they would always be cribbing failing to realise that they have made it to success..on the contrary there are people who are willing to go slow..give themselves ample time n dont get hyped by the mad rush to win..success/failure is what u define ..hats off dude..i loved it :)
