In life, we all wanna move to the next level, but don't wanna face the things that connects the level we are at, and the next level. We all know that, when we are going through school, we write exams to go to the next class.If you do not write, you repeat. And if you fail, you also repeat. Now, the sad and crazy thing about repeating is that, it brings shame mixed up with pride. So you ask yourself; how can I be here in a lower class, when all my mates have moved to a higher class? I think it's better for me to just quit than to be laughed at. But what we most times fail to realize is, we did not take the time to study for the exams as we ought to. We did not give it the attention it deserved, and as a result, we failed. But no one wanna take the blame. One thing about taking the blame or responsibility for your failure is, it helps challenge you to do better. It helps you to develop the I can do mentality. It tells you, you may have failed but not a failure. Then, you begin to look for the things you should have done that you did not do. What can help you do well.
I always say that, life will never get easier. So, the earlier we realize it, the better. Do not take anything for granted. Sometimes I sit down and begin to regret some of the opportunities I had in the past and I did not take advantage of them, and I say had I known! One thing about opportunity you take advantage of is that, it brings you to a new level. It set you up for a greater opportunity.
Life is a fight, and you must know how to fight to survive.Like the saying that says, winners never quit, and quiters never win. Only those who win are recognized. Don't be the one to cry when others are celebrating. I always say that, I did not come to this world to be a spectator. Rather, I came to participate. Discover the you in you, and use it to your advantage.
God bless you.
True!! The ability of a man to get up after a fall is what matters..
