Conclusions

Every coin has two sides, similarly our life also has two sides, we are successful in some things and we are unsuccessful in some things.

When we get success, we are happy and motivated to move forward and when we fail, we get disappointed and demotivated and go into depression. But when we fail, we should not look at it from the perspective of "life is over" rather we should welcome it as an opportunity. I know it is easy to say or give advice but it is difficult to put it into practice.

This is not the only path in life, there are many other paths by following which we can be successful and we can make our tomorrow better.

So, if you fail then you can try once again or explore some other career option. Don't give up.

"The boat cannot be crossed by being afraid of the waves. Those who try, never lose."
