Failure
Folder:
Personal- Melancholy Sometimes I feel so incompetent
As if I am a failure at
Everything I do.
I’ll never be the most beautiful,
The most intelligent,
The most athletic,
Or the most talented.
I’ll be the runner-up,
The second-rate option,
The last choice.
Hey don't feel so blue. Take a read from Walter D. Wintles "If You Think You Can":
"If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you won't,
If you like to win, but don't think you can,
It's almost a cinch you won't
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world you find,
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.
For many a game is lost
Ere even a play is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere even his work is begun.
Think big and your deed will grow,
Think small and you'll fall behind;
Think that you can and you will,
It's all a state of mind.
If you think you are out-classed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise;
You've got to be sure of yourself before,
you can ever win a prize.
Life battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can."
Success isn't measured by material gain, beauty, intelligence, or merit based from others, it's measured by how far you can go when you try even in the face of failure so chin up! I believe in you and your capacity to build a rich life and learning experience, both the good and bad.
