What Is Failure

Do we ever ask ourselves What is failure? Is a child who cannot Ride a bicycle when he is five A failure, or are his attempts lessons, And when he is seven He will ride as well as anyone? Many have suffered a broken heart Or unrequited love, But have still sought and found Someone just as special later on. Abraham Lincoln tried his hand At many business ventures That didn’t succeed, But he persisted and went on To become the president Of the United States. Our failures are lessons. Either we learn from them or not. Only those who look upon Their lack of success as the end Of the road and give up trying Are the true losers in life.
