Life is hard and for somebody is harder. Generally speaking, if you are not failing, probably you are very far from success. Action leads to failure most of the time, but is necessary to reach success.
With perseverance we rise and fall, the light will be found.
Sometimes we fall and die.
Sometimes we rise and die.
Should we think of death as a failure state?
I don't think so. "Success" and "failure" are misleading words because of the way we are used to use them. These are not permanent states and only referring to the extrema of our life. What is really important is the process and the attitude we act upon, to achieve a specific desired state for an unpredictable amount of time. In easy words: if we dont stop when we fail means we have already succeded. So keep fight and face your destiny always.
P.s. All my respect to the old man sitting on the bench. The picture is for illustration purpose only.
