Success is not shameful
[b]Recalling the days when you did
not know the answer to a question,
Hiding your face, praying that the teacher
wouldn't ask you anything.
Now that you have grown,
realising what you have done,
and wishing those days would come back,
it is failure that has let you down.
Reminiscing the students in front of the class,
always raising their hands and asking questions,
Not ashamed when they got an answer wrong.
It is success that made them brave.
The benefits of success has made human beings proud,
while the losses of failure has made human beings weak.
Always raise your head high and its always
better to try and fail, than fail to try.[/b]
