Failure is a Necessity in Life

As one grows older, failure becomes more and more "unacceptable". And society as a whole does not help those who failed. And without help and encouragement, quitting seemed easier. "Fight another day." but we all know too well that another day will not come.

This is true of me. I fail too often than I care for. Maybe I am too critical of myself. Maybe I suck. But its not whether we fail or not. Its whether we quit or not. 

About 2 hours ago, I was working on a code which has stumped me for days. Days, because I stopped looking at it every time I hit a road block and went off to do something else. In the morning, I decided that I want to get it done before I turn in for the night and at about 9pm, I was thinking I have made a bad bet against myself. 

I then decide that I will "Fight, but at another hour.". I put on my shoes and went for a slow jog/walk. Came back, cooled off and continued with it. 2 hours later before the stroke of midnight, I solved it!

Elated. Satisfied. Inspired.

It is important to get results. But the process will be remembered when I know I persevered.
