If you lose repeatedly in life, it breaks your confidence.
If you succeed repeatedly in life, it makes you more confident.
This is a simple formula of life.
However, it is not possible for any person to keep winning or losing for long because,
- If you keep winning in life, you become more confident and hence you raise the bar for yourself and take up even more challenging task. Soon the challenge takes the best of you and the failures starts pouring in.
- If you keep losing repeatedly, you become demoralized and lose confidence. Hence you set the bar lower now. As a result, you now start winning and that boosts your confidence and you now aim for higher things in life.
If you are intelligent, you shall soon identify your caliber and calibrate your goals accordingly to your abilities so that your successes and failures are reasonably balanced just like a great musician balances the tightness of the string of his instrument.
However, most people fail to learn their lessons from the successes and failures of life.
They are on the top of the world when they achieve success.
They don’t know where to hide when they face failure.
Aristotle said so wisely — 'Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.'
