A cricketer who is out at zero
May feel a pang of envy
For the one who raises the bat
At the full century mark.
An IAS aspirant who fails to make the grade
May find it harder
For those classmates who have scaled the heights
And donned the coveted badge.
The MBA contender who misses the mark
May struggle to applaud
Those colleagues who have conquered the challenge
And secured the place in the corporate world.
Yet, it is human nature
To gravitate towards the victors
And overlook the fallen
Like the oysters that form pearls
And not those who fail to gather nacre.
But remember, in the face of defeat
Lies the opportunity to rise
And in the shadows of failure
Shines the light of resilience.
So let us not only celebrate victors
But also honour the strivers
For it is in their unwavering spirit
The true essence of humanity lies. |
