'Glory lies not in never falling, but rising up everytime you fall'.
how absolutely true! this was the 'thought for the day' at school a few days back and our Principal pointed this out in such a simple way. as babies, we never rested until we'd learnt to stand firmly on both our feet ....or until we took a few steps without falling .......or until we learnt to climb up the high places without anyone's aid .....or until we learnt to speak by listening to others....a million examples. imagine where we would ve been had we not tried, fallen, cried, tried n tried n tried until we succeeded. we might never have learnt to walk if we'd given up!
why then do we shy off easily from challenges as grown ups? why are we so reluctant to try again in the face of failure? why do we give up?
let's be like the babies we once were and work at all our challenges and problems with single-minded determination.

as children we are guided. As adults, we are our own guide! sigh!
but no one guided us to learn how to turn upside down for the first time...or how to take the first step...or climb up the bed. yes, as adults we are alone but we have the knowhow. too much knowhow infact , coz the fear, or rather, the knowledge that we might fail, keeps us from trying even. as babies, we never knew the word 'cant' :)
