Failure is not an option- It must be a Compulsion

To Fail with grace and put up with the world is such an art that there are fewer practitioners for it,with every passing day...

The sweet taste of success..... The Never-ending appetite for glories...Well, everyone likes success..It feels so happy to succeed... To be in limelight and to feel that you are significant is so, shall i say,wonderful?..Well, this post is about the other side of the coin...FAILURE.

Isn't it nice to fail? Don't we all fail sometimes, purposefully?.....

I have often wondered why is that we glorify success so much and neglect the failure component? yep, i know it sounds kind of absurd, but still... The only reason i find success to be more popular than its rival is because of social-acceptance. Society accepts success and so it is most sought for...If there exists a defeatist society, then all losers will be hailed as heroes and success will be ridiculed..(may be in that context, success and failure just alternate, which is not something i am arguing for).. So, ultimately it all comes to Social Recognition.. It is not about the love of success...We love success because the world wants us to... The keen to succeed is something which we impose on our self,in my personal opinion... It's a driving force,may be, so that we keep interested in life... to feel motivated and kept occupied through out life..But sometimes, it does destroys some precious moments,which I hope you quite agree..

If it's all about social agreement and ppl say it's OK to strive hard for success cos society does so, well, i don't mind being called an heretic..but What the ....? When certain things are admissible even though society doesn't favors it,i am pretty much dogmatic about being in the Non-Aligned Movement...

When i do some introspection, i find that if my parents had been more lenient about my success n failures ,not chiding for getting second rank in schools..... and not tempting me with an allowance of one whole hour of computer games if i get the first rank, probably i would be where i am right now.. but, i would have learnt to appreciate failure too.., i think.. After all, if we embrace failure,what worse can happen to us?

Come On guys, What can Success give you apart from an increased ego, surreal joy till next failure and a subtle sense of significance ? When was the last time we reveled in failure? After all, we have had a number of forwards about failure being the precursor of success...What failure can do to your soul, success cant even put up a good act against it..

If it's all about fear of failure, of being ridiculed and dis-linked from society, shouldn't we learn to get over our fears????????

Resigning to defeat might make life less interesting... but at least..OK, I'll settle for treating success and failure equally..It is not asking too much...

Reiterating wat i ve said, To Fail with grace and put up with the world is such an art that there are fewer practitioners for it,with every passing day...

So, happy failing.... Be the loser.....


Failure fascinates......... Success Sucks.......
