It’s only when things go wrong,
That we try to set them right,
Only when life pulls us down,
Do we put up a big fight,
Only when we fall down,
We struggle to reach the height,
And only after darkness,
Does the world appear bright….
There’s no joy without trouble,
No achievement without struggle,
No pleasure without pain,
And no sunshine without rain,
No laughter without tears,
No bravery without fear,
No rose without thorns,
And without dusk, no dawn….
Sorrow gives us strength,
And misery gives rise to desire,
When life turns all blue,
Hope is what ignites the fire,
Smooth roads are no fun,
For obstacles give determination,
Defeat is what pushes us towards victory,
Failure is, but, the biggest inspiration!!!

/* bright with opportunities, which we rather ignore when we're not that serious or careless /*
There’s no joy without trouble,
/* an age old proven technique for success/*

Its only after internals,
That we gear to set the prelims right... (ha ha ha)
This almost makes me feel ok about failing in one of my papers (hey there were mock papers) Maybe I will succeed well!
ReplyDeleteNice thought ...
ReplyDeleteI thought this some years back: No Light without Darkness
Good read :)
the poem aptly describes the truth of life.. infact, there's no fun in success without having experienced failure before; and in turn the same failure becomes our greatest inspiration.. nice work..
ReplyDeleteHow inspiring!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
