From the mind of critic: “If at first we don’t succeed and we try try again, do we succeed on our 4th, 8th or 12th try? What about our 200th or 500th try? Do we gain success specifically because of our viglantly courageous determination? Or do we gain success not simply because of detrmination, but because of hard work, focus, consciousness, understanding, justice and love for our fellow man? I’ve always heard success is in the eye of the beholder, which means we determine what success means, which just like life isn’t black and white. Whatever success looks like to us, might not be what it looks like for somebody else. At the same time, we might not be able to see the success that’s meant for us, specifically because we think it’s sucess meant for somebody else, or success meant for us that we can’t define, haven’t expected or don’t want. We’ve all had hard times in our lives where we try really hard for something, and it just doesn’t happen in the way we expect. We must remember if we want something to happen, and we put in massive effort to make it so, what matters is that it happened, not the form it takes. We aren’t guaranteed success, but we aren’t guaranteed failure either. However, we are guaranteed utter regret if we don’t try. No matter what form success takes, it’s still success” 🙂
