"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." - Winston Churchill
After the day’s work, I stroll down the soccer field close to my resident. There are two sections; the adult were on the field playing, while there are set of boys within twelve years below with their coach learning how to kick the soccer ball in a particular way. To me, I think I will learn more from those kids than the men, I quickly walk down to the kids section.
Each participating boy were called to kick the ball as instructed, some received a good clap while some were mock and received embarrassing laughter. Some fume, some frown as a guard to disguise their embarrassment, while some have no guard to protect their embarrassing moment having it well written on their faces. Immediately I started interpreting their behavior towards success and failure.
There is a particular boy that catches my attention, I could say he was well mock at than others, but instead of frown, fume or show his embarrassment, he was so happy and felt unconcern with what people felt, so I decided to chat with him after the training. He told me, they have being working on that for three (3) days, he was happy because at every attempt he is always doing better than the previous one which people mocking at him were not aware of. We have further discussion but interested in sharing this with you for the context of this article.
According to Jim Rohn, "Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better." Even if the whole world scoff at you, if you can measure your performance getting better, be assured you are closer to success. Sincerely speaking "There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed." says Ray Goforth. Your mockers belong to one of the group.
