Success and Failure

As the attainments of others never assure one's own success 

So their deafening failures shouldn't hold back one's progress

Success and failure built who we are.. each has to strive to achieve their very success and growth.. and never be content with others achievements nor hindered or frustrated by others failures and defeats.. a great message in a wonderful couplet, dear Demetrios! A joy to read. Be blessed always.

Emulate a person's success, but never be daunted by their failure. One should always regard it as a learning curb. Well said my dearest friend....Maria xxx
