Why FAILURE is my greatest asset...
One day God told a young man to push a huge stone... without questioning God's motive - he went about it... he set himself against the stone, pushed with all his might... from sunrise to sunset... he did this for a few days. The stone didn't budge an inch. Then he asked God... Lord, you asked me to move the stone. But I'm useless... I couldn't even move it a bit. Why did you bother asking me to do this... if u knew I couldn't move it!Then God, in His all knowing way said, "My son... don't think you failed, on the contrary, your back is stronger, your muscles are toned... you have succeeded in building yourself as you should be... you didn't fail...you did your part... now let me do mine..." and God moved the stone for him.

Personally, I still remember the day when my father told me... you haven't learnt what failure is... so you really don't know what success is. (As a kid, I had a phobia of exams... i would get all panicky and scared, vomiting like hell... even though I'd studied well). I've tried a number of things in life... many have turned into failures of various sizes and sorts. The best thing about it all... I got to know what worked, what didn't. I understood my limitations better... I know where I really need to focus... I can say I became a lot wiser. Don't let anyone say you can't do something... never underestimate yourself. Always experiment... for this is the way to finding your true call. For good or for bad... you'll find your path... and when you do... keep at it... you'll exel !
