THE FAILURE MONOLOGUE
My name is unspeakable; my presence undesirable
Nobody wants me as a friend, a relative or even as a peer
But I am always present when the gold is lost, an 'F' is awarded, a business folds and a marriage collapses
I have a reason and a purpose of doing so
I have been presented as the enemy, insurmountable, and an object of hate, for I am the standard that is feared by all
Fear of me stops people from trying again
Fear of me stops people from dreaming at all
Nobody escapes me for I am the ultimate test
To those who were defeated and have given up the fight, you have misunderstood me
To those who were crushed and yet, continue the fight, now you know me for who I am
I am the sun and the water that make life stronger, better and sweeter
I am proof that nothing is permanent, and no one is immune
I am the call to arms that revives, awakens and revitalizes
I am exactly half of the life that you should be living to the fullest
I am the hardest lesson to be learnt for I am the best teacher in the world
Now know me by my name:
My name is Failure.
Failure is always feared by people. Some people who know me always said that I'm so lucky that I have been blessed with a perfect life. The truth is, perfect life doesn’t exist, same as perfect human being. To be where I’m today, and to be the person I’m today, credits to failures that I experienced. Not to say that I never experience success. I do have lotsa success stories that I can brag about but I rather not. People can learn a lot of things from success but they can learn a lot more from failure. I guess that is why the government make it compulsory for us to learn History during our school time.
For me a failure is a real failure if I can’t learn anything from it. Irish people say it well "A saint is not a man who never falls; he is a man who gets up and goes on every time he falls."
