ADVICE FROM A FAILURE ...

"  A  failure  is  a  man  who blundered but  is  not  

  able  to  cash  in  on  the  experience. "

"  Failure  is  simply  the  opportunity  to begin

again,  this time  more   intelligently.  "

For one who sees this life as place for greater possibilities, for him there is no failure.  For one who sees simple errands as the goal of life, for him there is failure and success. If you see this life as a stepping stone for a larger possibility - if you have a good deal you use that for your well-being, if you have a bad deal, you use that for your well-being. This advice coming from a man of great wisdom.  You win, you gain. You lose, you learn. 

When failure comes, it takes away your money and a part of your life.  You can cry, or you can use the experience to strengthen yourself. One thing you gain from failing - you get more time. More time to think, feel and meditate. Look inside you and feel and see who are on your side. 

Time and time again, we hear stories about human courage to overcome the odds and triumph in the end.  These stories inspire but the truth is, a lot of people who have triumphed later find themselves drowning in their success unable to cope with the money that flows in, the fame, the public scrutiny and losing trust in the people around them.  Having succeeded, they lose grasps who their real friends are and having to live a life that others expect them to.

The price of success - trying to stay on top by making more money to meet obligations you wouldn't have if you didn't  have so much money. You'll be surrounded by people who hides their true character and reveal it in hiding.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with succeeding. Its what we are meant for. But we should also ask our self if what we are doing to be a success would mean something on our death bed. Will this thing matter 5 years from now ? Or maybe twenty years from now ? Will I be proud of what I am and what I have accomplished ? Will my kids feel proud for the things I have done ?

"  Happiness is a  delicate  balance between 

what one is and what one has. "
