Better Living--winning and losing

Article Summary by: varghese    

Original Author: Prof.P.A.Varghese
There is no need to be sad when you fail. There is no success without failure. If you want great success be prepared for
great defeats too.
Who has to face more failures?
Those who succeed or those are failures in life?
Undoubtedly it is those who succeed.
Edison failed 10,000 times before he could identify a substance (tungsten)
 that will withstand the heat when electricity is passed through the thin filaments of the material. Electric light thus became a reality. He failed more times when he tried to identify a plant that would yield latex.
Abraham Lincoln failed in everything he tried. He failed so many times in elections. His business attempts were failures too. Ann Rutledge, the only woman he ever loved, died when he was 27. But he never gave up. Every failure brought him to his goal and eventually he became the president of the United States.
Failure
