SUCCESS THROUGH FAILURE

SUCCESS THROUGH FAILURE

This is the story of a person who succeeded in his life after a big failure.

            James was one of the good athletes of his country. He came from a very poor family .From childhood itself he was first in almost all sprint events held in his school. His father wanted him to become one of the popular athletes in the world. To fulfill his father’s dream, he practiced day and night. In sports his favorite items were hurdles and races. He concentrated more in this category. He was selected for the state level athletic competition at the age of 15. In that competition he won the Gold medal in the 200 m race. He was the youngest boy to achieve that medal, in this category. Then he got many medals and prizes in so many athletic competitions. Even after winning the medals, he doesn’t stop practicing, because his ambition was not fulfilled. So he did not take rest until he achieved his goal. Thus after four years he was selected for the National games. In that he won gold medal in hurdles and races. It was the first time that his state had won gold medal in that category. After his best performance in the national games, he was selected for 200 m race in the Olympics for representing his country. For two years he worked very hard to achieve a gold medal in the Olympics. All the media reported that he would be the fastest sprinter in the world.

         After two years, he was all prepared for the game. In the opening ceremony of the Olympics, James was the flag bearer of his country. Then after two days, the athletic competition started. All the best athletes from different parts of the world were participating in this category. Judging by the performance in the last games, media even announced that the medal will go to James. Finally the day of his race came. Ten minutes before the competition all the sprinters geared up for the competition. Then they all took up their respective positions. All the eyes were on James. When the race started James was at the first position in the first lap. But for the second lap a terrible thing happened. Suddenly all the spectators in the gallery become silent and started weeping. This is because in the second lap James was not able to finish the race due to his leg injury. He fell down on the track and started weeping. Everyone thought that he will have to be carried to the hospital. But James stood up and completed the whole race with his injured leg. When he completed the race, all of them stood up and encouraged him. At that moment he realized that “Failure is the stepping stone to success”. With that race, he became one of the best athletes in the world.

           Failure is not the last word. Through failures we can achieve great success in our life. Life does not moves very smoothly. There will be so many twist and turns. So don’t go back. Instead you try again and again to achieve success.
