If one has never tasted failure, how would one ever value success?
For it is only when one feels the taste of ashes in one's mouth that the urge to suceed gets stronger.
And it really and truly has been proven. Time and again. Then again.
Even if we take Corporate culture as an example.
Where losing by 'just a little' can help a company win. Particularly if they were 'close enough to taste it'.
Big time. The next time around.....
So these are some lines that I'm borrowing from my all time favourite poet, Khalil Gibran. Who has really said it all. In much the same way as I would like to.
"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?.....
......The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
