What if I had not failed? Would I have been so humble and courteous to people around me had I not tasted failure?
We do run a lot for success in life and get disappointed when we don’t achieve it. Well, success does not come so easily to everyone, and only true talent can figure it out.
I am not an award winner, not a kid who scored above 90% in her exam, not having a 6-figure income and not even someone who has a very glamorous lifestyle, but a simple person who values personal happiness and smiles more than all these fancy stuffs in life.
For me, my best days of life are when I see people around me being happy and enjoying the best moment of their life.
I, too, had a lot of failures in my life— I had failed in nursery school, I failed to learn to cycle in primary school, I failed to learn guitar, I failed to learn basketball, again I failed to impress my boss when I was working in banking — now I am struggling to make my identity in the field of digital marketing.
Now I realize, would I have been so humble and courteous to people around me had I not tasted failure?
Would I have got to know the struggle our parents faced while raising us, would I have realized the value of success in life, would I have realized the hard work and commitment people put to be successful in life?
The answer is NO.
My failures make me realize I need to be more determined and stronger in my life, respect everyone around me, introspect the best part about myself and enjoy the beautiful life which my parents gave to me.
So, there are a lot of things failure has taught me rather than success.
I could explore myself in the best permutations and combinations possible so what’s makes me and breaks me, who are my true people who will be always there with me and how should I smile each day of my life for being part of such a beautiful journey called life.
Here I don’t mean to say that we should keep failing often and not strive for success.
But I meant to tell is every one of us is different, and we should not associate success as a single stagnant point in life, but try harder each day to achieve it.
So think about, what has failure taught you in life?

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
