THE WISDOM OF FAILURE

Success has principles,
But failure, the wisdom.
For one learns more from failures, hardships than from success, merriment.
For failure, hardships scour the heart; teach us moral lessons.
Success might be a product of luck, fortune, not necessarily sheer wisdom which failure, hardships imbue within the soul.
Meet one who has failed multiple times and you learn multiple times why, how, what, where it shouldn't be done.
Meet the man who is fortunate at every whip and you'll just learn how favoured, blessed he is.
Thomas Edison would put it: " I learnt 999 times how not to do it", having made and electric lamp on his 1000th trial.
For his multiple failures taught him the wisdom of making amends from the past.
His resolve and firm purpose of amendment was what his past mistakes, failures which kept his invention in potent state taught him.
And when he has finally learnt from his past failures, his invention, "electric lamp" became materialized (art).
The wisdom of failure is that if we come back, we come back stronger and wiser.
More important than the number of falls we have in life is how fast and strong we come back on our feet.
For success is never ending and failure, defeat is never final.
There is always a second chance.
Maybe a third, fourth ...
Know your limit,
then ignore them.
There is no limit,
Mind is the only limit, obstacle we have in the way.
Heroes are born, but Great men are made through the fire of the circumstance.
Great men are made,
But immortals who live on in name, impact centuries after their demise are baked in furnaces.
Tough times never last,
But tough people do!
