I read this when I was in XI standard. But somewhere I never forgot this poem. It always made me think of it when I faced failuresJ
If you do not fail or face a problem one cannot realise the worth of success. Like to feel the worth of ‘water’ you really need to be ‘thirsty’. If that thirst is not within you, one cannot value the worth of results. Face your failures with a small note – Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed. So your failure is a ladder or way to your taste of success.
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag today
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory
As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break agonized and clear!
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag today
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory
As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break agonized and clear!
SO BE HAPPY AT YOUR FAILURES AS WELL!!
