'Failure had a tempo faster than success.'
Advertisements
उत्तर
The concept of people who achieve success very fast also fail very fast holds truth as far as this story is concerned. The tempo of failure is always faster than success. Thus, on one hand, we strive so much to attain success while on the other hand, it takes just seconds for failure to reach us. Most of the time, it is just a matter of chance that a man gains success while a man's failure is pre-destined and occurs only because of his own actions. Success, when planned and achieved because of hard work, stays for long. However, when failure strikes, it is very abrupt and never knocks on the door before approaching. Thus, it can be said that the tempo of failure is faster than that of success.
