One More Step

Have you ever been at a point in your life where you've tried everything you can think off, but it seems like pouring water on a stone? Well, remember, it is never over until you accept the verdict. So what options do you have left? - Just try again. "Failure", sometimes, is not really failure; but a little setback that you can convert to a stepping stone for a "come back".

Some of the big names we celebrate in the world today failed at some point in their life's adventure, but they refused to quit, and now, the world is standing up for them. Imagine if the man; Thomas Edison quitted when he failed, we may not have heard of him the way we do. Or what if Colonel Harlan Sanders gave up trying, we may not have known what Kentucky Fried Chicken is.

But in trying again, you have to do it differently - because; it would be unwise to repeat the same process over and again, and expect a different outcome. change your approach, change your tactics, change your procedure, and try again. Keep trying until failure gets tired of you. No one is actually a failure - but only those that refuse to try again.

Can I tell you this? Something you may see as failure could be success in the remote sense. Here's the story of my friend: After we finished from secondary school, he couldn't secure admission into the University because his score wasn't up to the cut off mark of the university. But I noticed he was good with football (I played with him at the inter-school's competition during our secondary school days). So I advised him to consider pursuing a career in football. Later that year, there was a call for application in the National Football Academy, and he enrolled. Even before those that were laughing at him could finish from the university, he was already playing for one of the biggest clubs on the soil of nigeria. And now, he has concluded plans to sign a contract with a football club in England. So you see, if he had entered the university to pursue engineering, he would not have attained this level of success his has now. So when life knocks you down, bounce back on your feet and take more steps.
