"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of
enthusiasm." - Winston Churchill
After the day’s work, I stroll down the soccer field close to my resident.
There are two sections; the adult were on the field playing, while there are
set of boys within twelve years below with their coach learning how to kick the
soccer ball in a particular way. To me, I think I will learn more from those
kids than the men, I quickly walk down to the kids section.
Each
participating boy were called to kick the ball as instructed, some received a
good clap while some were mock and received embarrassing laughter. Some fume,
some frown as a guard to disguise their embarrassment, while some have no guard
to protect their embarrassing moment having it well written on their faces.
Immediately I started interpreting their behavior towards success and failure.
There is a
particular boy that catches my attention, I could say he was well mock at than
others, but instead of frown, fume or show his embarrassment, he was so happy
and felt unconcern with what people felt, so I decided to chat with him after
the training. He told me, they have being working on that for three (3) days,
he was happy because at every attempt he is always doing better than the
previous one which people mocking at him were not aware of. We have further
discussion but interested in sharing this with you for the context of this
article.
According to
Jim Rohn, "Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing
to do. Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better." Even if the whole
world scoff at you, if you can measure your performance getting better, be
assured you are closer to success. Sincerely speaking "There are two types
of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world:
those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed."
says Ray Goforth. Your mockers belong to one of the group.
Why are you afraid of failure, or care about people who think you are a failure when “Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." advised - Winston S. Churchill. And that courage reside in one failing attempts towards another.
Believe in your
dream, because dream always come true when you work towards it actualization
