Success and failure are woven together as a single fabric. Teddy Roosevelt once said, "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." Success cannot be gained without traversing the pain of failure. It is only separated from defeat by the ability to learn from the past and lift one's self from the dust and make another attempt. As I journey through my own personal wilderness, I must be the scholar learning from the rubble that is my past defeats and continue on to the one day when I will again lift the trophy high in victory!
