Success and failure

Another friend told me about her achievement at work. She was much more confident and positive than the last time I met her. Is it not wonderful how ‘success’ can build one’s confidence and, thus, character?

Unfortunately, the fact is, it is ‘failure’ that can truly build one’s character. When somebody experiences failure and comes out stronger, then, only then, (s)he has really succeeded in building his/her character.

Strange – if you fail and you come out strong, then you succeed. So, does it mean you fail or succeed? Or both?

There is hope for the pessimists. -- But then again, a true pessimist does not have hopes.. Hmm. (I must give up this game of playing with words)
