The first step

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

                                                                  Winston Churchill.




 This sure sounds good as a quote, many would have been inspired, enlightened even renewed from these words……but for me it isn’t any of them. Not because I don’t believe it or I don’t have faith in myself but it actually reminds me of the longest companion I ever had throughout my life, FAILURE.  

Yes I know a lot, I mean A LOT of you guys have had this companion in some part of your life, many of you have overcome it and moved on with your life, its filled with success, well good for you.......ENJOY!!!! 

Now before you assume I am one of those depressed people wallowing in self pity and yelling at GOD, I am here to clarify you that I.AM.NOT. I am just treating failure as another companion. It holds the same position as that of Sarcasm, Faith, Happiness etc, if you still want to continue stating that I am in fact depressed then please don't waste both of our energies by starting an unnecessary debate. Though I don't mind you wasting your energy, it's not like I care.

Another line of thought is that maybe 'I consider failure as the stepping stone to success'. OK let me make this as simple as possible, in my life failure is just another character. All though this character plays 'The Lead Role' most of the times. I don't find it frustrating.

I don't take any of the psychological characters seriously, after all why should I??? There is a reason people say 'Nothing lasts forever' and it means both ways good and bad. Take what life throws at you. At least something is being thrown at you!!!! I get failure thrown down on me like a pile of cow shit ( it's not only a pun) and yoooo hooooo I am still standing, though it stinks ( big time, trust me I KNOW). I mean isn't life supposed to be a roller coaster ride of experiences? Yes I know I am getting just One kind type of experience, but I'll take what I get and make the most of out of it.....Like this.

Let me put it this way. Failure for me is a competitor whom I have to beat. It's a race, throughout my life. Right now I am in the lead, irrespective if anyone hears it or not, but I will never under estimate my competitor for they have a hell lot of tricks up their sleeves.Even though they have OWNED the mental scoreboard long ago, I don't give a shit, even if its a mere 50 meters ahead I'll take it. 



GAME ON!!!!!!
