How true that is!
They say, everyone should taste failure at least once. It makes you humble and tolerant towards a lot of things. You become sensitive and alert to the environment in which you exist. But does it really have to be so? Haven't there been people who have been lucky. Always successful and travelling higher and higher in their journey of life. What would you say to that? I would simply say that they may seem to be getting everything at all times, but beyond that success lies great pains. And it is inadvertently always true; he who hasn't tasted failure, flies higher without a safety net. The higher they go, the harder they fall.
Is that the end then? No! Life always gives us two chances. When you fall, either you get dispirited and sit back or try harder to replicate your success. In most cases than not, if you try, you reach higher levels of success than you ever did before, with the safety net of experience beneath.
All I would say is that, "When you fall, the only way to go is up!"

Recently read about Dan Jansen, the olympic speed skater. His story is a glaring example of this principle.
