This is just a continuation from a reply on a very dear friends blog (http://xcellence.blogspot.com )

This is regarding success and failure that people look at. Ppl like to go to bookstalls and read books about "1001 ways to succeed" but never think about failure. Something similar to what we learnt in our PROF class. Why do we forget that behind every Armani suite, their are a 100 torn shirts. This is a very known human tendency that success gets on the brain much faster than failure. You will hardly find a person who has had a success without failure to even think about people who have failed more often (a.k.a. my frnds in XIMB) whilst people who succeed after having failed more than their due share of times find success to be sweeter (a.k.a. some other of my friends in XIMB). And then (as my blogger friend puts it) people go to successful people to ask how to succeed not understanding that to be successful, it is more important to understand failure than it is to understand success.

This diatribe of sorts may be taken by some as my own wanteness for recognition (u know....one of the people who continue to fail despite all the "strategies" that we adopt) but it surely is a truth in life.

Oh...by the way...A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone who bothers to drop by and read these small ejaculations from my heart
