Failures

I've been keepin this entry under edit for the past 6 months. I think it's time to write about it because I think it is crucial.

Failures. Think. How many times have you failed before in life? Many have experienced the feeling of failure. I've failed MANY TIMES in almost every aspect of my life. Name it, i've gone through it. But the good thing about going through failures is not about the experience, it is always about building up your immune system and recovering from it.

I've seen many people cry over grades. Getting a C was like the end of the world for them. Being perfect from young and not knowing what failure is can be really dangerous. Not making mistakes is fatal to me. We are humans. We are not a perfect 10. We need to learn the ropes of life as soon as we can. We need to expect failures and get ready for it if that time were to ever come.

Failure can be a double-edged sword. You either suffer from it, get depressed, be an alcoholic and die a virgin or be stronger from it and improve your immune system so much so that when another blow comes, you know how to handle it. But I guess, for many of those who had the opportunity to know me a lil better would understand my philosophies in life; if it doesn't kill you, it'll just make you stronger. This is bullshit. If it doesn't kill you, it'll just make you suffer. Then, somebody needs to give you that extra nudge to pick yourself up and move on. If not, you'll just stay down there in that pile of mess that you are in and try to get empathy from others. Damn pathetic. Don't start shaking heads because its true and you know it. Only through your accumulated immune system will you then be able to rise up on your own without seeking help from others. I've gone through that phase. It's a painful process but it just makes you a tougher person inside.

So moral of the story? Learn to accept failures and hope through fate, you are able to learn from the failures of others and of your own self too while you're still young. Before you can be old and wise, you have to be young and stupid.
