Have you ever failed? If not, then you may never succeed. If you have
failed a number of times, then you are very close to a brilliant
success. Failure and success are not orthogonal to each other. Rather
the axes of failures are very close to that of a success. Failure and
success are like twin sisters or brothers, one wears a medal and the
other doesn’t. Life is beautifully intertwined with fine threads of
success and failures.

Success opens a door to acquiring wealth, and failure can open you many doors towards success

When we get success in any work, it not only gives us joy, it can also open an opportunity to earn money. A winner in sports attracts more sponsors for his/her future endeavors. It can also boost the career by many fold. And, one great success may sometimes bring lethargy in regular practice, and may even block further success.

On the other hand, each failure can open multiple opportunities. Each of the opportunities can open newer avenues. Each of the avenues gives a chance to fight back with renewed vigor. The possibility of success brightens many fold.

If we represent success and failure in geometric figures, the axis of failure remains very close to that of a success

This can be understood very well from the results of the sports arena,
such as the Olympics. In the recently concluded Rio Olympics we observed
many such examples.

Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar at Rio Olympics 2016

An Indian gymnast, Dipa Karmakar, made history for her country at the
Rio Olympics 2016 by becoming the first Indian woman to compete in an
Olympics final in gymnastics. She is from a remote state of India called
Tripura. She did not have proper facilities to practice gymnastics.
Despite she won many medals in several competitions. She qualified for
the Olympics. Only five women in the history of Olympics executed the
difficult gymnastic move called Produnova, which is also called the
“Vault of Death”. She is one such a brave woman of gymnastics to execute
Produnova. The points Dipa scored in the Olympics final is just 0.150
less than that of the third position holder
.

Dipa Karmakar is a winner. She has the power of winning many
more competitions in the future. She is an inspiration for the upcoming
Indian gymnasts.

Life is beautifully intertwined with fine threads of success and failures

Success is always less compared to the failures. The failures give
us the practicing experiments. We get the knowledge and the
experience. We are able to move forward to do more. On the way of these
moves, we are drenched with tiny droplets of success here and there.
