Why do you fall down??

So that you can get back up on our feet. That makes falling down so interesting. You learn a new lesson each time you fall. Thats what every day is about. You want so many things. Each morning you set out to find them. When you return home after a tiring day, you look back to evaluate all thats happened. What you have learnt? What new experiences you shared? What went wrong? What went right? And you are ready to apply all those things when you set out the next day. So you wish all this were true. But its not. You fall down. You kick the ground. Let out your frustration. Use a few foul words. Talk to yourself. Remind yourself that the whole world is out to get you....

Amazing isn't it? Such a wonderful opportunity goes by. Instead of taking the positives out of the hardships, you choose to focus on the depressing aspects. There is never a better perspective than hindsight. Ever wonder why there are more followers than leaders? You only learn from your mistakes. Your blemishes only offer you a chance to perfect something. Hey !! Its easy to preach these wonderful things in a sermon. But its really difficult to experience them yourself. More so, when the embarassment of falling down is overwhelming. Do you want to lose today so that you win tomorrow? Nah. You always wish to win at first shot....

No one likes to lose. Consider this in the context of the world having more losers and very few winners. Thats why you love the underdog. Somewhere you view yourself in the shadows of every underdog who takes on the mighty bully. You always want the underdog to win. Yup. It always happens in movies and sometimes in sports. Rarely happens in life and love. Well, the point is that your losing everytime makes the rare win so much more worthwhile. Dont bother asking the Aussie cricket team of 90s or Federer or Woods. They would not vouch for it. Final thoughts. You lose not because you lost. You lose when you fail to realize that you have so much to gain...

Something to consider. Centuries ago, an apple fell on the head of a man sitting under the tree. The man asked the question, "Why do you fall down?" The rest they say is history...
