Rainbow of Success

Some have defined "success" as a day to day progressive journal towardsa pre-determined worthwhile goal. To me, that is one of the best definition of success. But what I want to focus on this posting is the failure part of the journey. Isit really that bad?

In our journey through life, we have always thought of sunshine as good, and equated it with success. And the rain is bad associated with failure. Most of us don't like the rain. We would prefer the good times rather than the bad. That's the nature of us, human.

But, are good times really that nice? Are hard times to be dreaded?

What would happen if we're expose to sunshine everyday? We would get sunburnt or even suffer from skin cancer!

Now what would happen if we stay in the rain everyday? We will get pneumonia and may even die of cold.

It looks like both sides don't seemsto be the answer. But, we do know however that both sieds dogive some benefits. - Sunshine is delicios, rain is refreshing, wind is bracing, snow is exhilarating. So thereis no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. - Ask any Malaysians, do they wish that there is a snow/winter season here? You know the answer.

Something good always comes from something good.Or, something good always comes from something bad? It is a subjective which have anobjectives answer.

So where actually is the real success?

Well, I am sure we have all known or seen a rainbow. You will agree with me that it is one of the greatest natural sights in the world. How does it come about? It can only comeout when there is a mixture of rain and sunshine. In the absence of one, the rainbow disappears. We need both sunshine and the rain to make rainbow and as a proverbial saying goes - At the end of rainbow is your port of goal!

How very true! We need both success and failure to find our rainbow. To me, the abilitity to grasp this rainbow during the journey is a true success. You need to fall before you be able to walk and run. You have lost few of your puppies love before you found your true love. That is failure made success. Whoever understand this will get his port of goal if he so wishes.

The person who has material wealth may not be able to grasp the rainbow but those who have grasped the rainbow shall have material wealth ifthey so wished!
