Just as I watched my neighbors son who just clocked two years old.He was learning how to walk, I went down memory lane on how I once did many years ago.As I continue to gaze, I saw him took his first shaking step and fell.
He attempted to walk again but still fell.He knew nothing about falling and rising.He stood up again tried more steps until he finally got his footing right.
I similed, I could see his determination to walk at his age.' I can do it', probably that would be his thought,I never gave up when I was like him now I can run and walk at this point it dawned on me such is life.A lot of people have given up when they make their first shaking step and never tried again. Mistakes are not as important as what you do about them but your attitude toward your mistakes.
In life endeavor, we must not necessarily succeed at every first attempt. Many give up simply saying to themselves "Oh well this is just how life is" or worse still "I am hopeless, I can't do this ,I am not good enough". It only take one person to change your life .Thomas Edison said "I have not failed but found 999 way that won't work,so I am not discouraged because every failed attempt is another step forward".
Believing in yourself is an endless destination, when you believe you have failed.it the end of your journey.Be like the postage stamp,stick to one thing until you achieve your result. Many life failures are those who did not realize how closed they were to success when they gave up .Be strong on the road to success,it only gives passes to those whose mind are made up.Ask yourself what you can do to make a change? Just one more step to make a difference.
