These are two words that form one of the most important part of today’s human’s life. I remember being taught antonyms when I was like 6-7 years old and I remember that failure is the antonym of success but more importantly I also remember that success was written in the column with all the positive things like good, positive, etc. and failure was written in the other column. This clearly shows that the society views success as a positive thing and failure as a negative thing. Well according to me almost all of Indian society’s norms are crap but this norm is among the most illogical and the most wrong one.
A person should be valued for his talent, his dedication, his hard work, his efforts, his perseverance he put into achieving something and not on the basis of whether he achieved it or not or whether someone else achieved it or not. And failure is one of the most beautiful things life brings with itself. It pushes us to our toes and shows us what we are truly capable of. And the process of converting failure to success is even more beautiful. It is filled with adventure and intense moments you will remember for the rest of your life and cherish them. Here I would like to clarify two things my previous lines might have suggested. Firstly when I said the journey from failure to success I didn’t mean that success is better than failure just that success gives us satisfaction and failure makes us sad but finally teaches us a lot and the final purpose of what we have learnt from failure is satisfaction and success so the journey from failure to success is one of the most natural process. Secondly I agree that it is difficult to accept and face failure and that the process of converting it to success is filled with a lot of challenges and sad moments but can’t beautiful processes be difficult, and I say beautiful because it makes us evolve, it makes us look inside ourselves and discover ourselves.
So well hopefully I have “succeeded” in bringing about even the slightest of transformations in the ideology of the readers and a change in their views of life as a whole.
