SUCCESS HAS MANY PARENTS…….BUT FAILURE?

SUCCESS HAS MANY PARENTS…….BUT FAILURE?

How really true is this statement is it applicable to you or I, so who then is this message talking about, that we must find out because stitch in time they say always saves nine. The subject matter of this piece of article says – success has many parents, but failure is an orphan; this is an idiomatic expression used sarcastically on a person who has achieved success (Greatness), and has crossed the hurdle which others see as a stumbling block, hurdle, or unachievable task. When he (the successful man or woman) through hard work and determination breaks the barrier which has held him bound for a long time, and finally achieved greatness. This is what happens next, all the people who has known him before, and have refused to associate with him or her because of his interim predicament, could now see that he has climbed the echelon of ladder of success, he would now be depicted and best addressed as; oh that lovely young, handsome, illustrious and of course SUCCESSFUL YOUNG MAN, yes! We know him he is our son, and we have always known he will make us proud some day. That is for the successful chap, you can see that many people claimed to be his parent even those that he has never met one on one in his life. So it is with SUCCESS everyone likes to be associated with the word SUCCESS.

……But on the other hand FAILURE is regarded as an orphan, isn’t that obvious from what we have read earlier on concerning success, we need not stress too much on this particular one, because it is simply the exact opposite of the other one who could not attain or achieve what the other man did, consequently he has allowed the impediment of life, and his present predicament to weigh him down, and he sees every challenges of life as an excuse for his failure. And what do you think people who are his close associates will remark on him, here are their possible comments on him, oh that USELESS, GOOD FOR NOTHING, NEVER DO WELL of a man or is he even a man or woman I don’t even know, any way, whatever, thank God I don’t even know him, is he even from this our community?, maybe he is from the next village, he has always been a disappointment to himself and people around him, that is why I never like to associate with him.

Now what can we deduce from this, it is crystal clear and of a strong affirmation that the statement above generally holds true. And that is the more reason we must break every obstacle debarring us from embracing SUCCESS, by putting on a DETERMINED and FIGHTING SPIRIT.

This short article you‘ve just read is a true episode of what happens in the region where I came from.

Happy reading,
