failure

whoever said " failure is a stepping stone to success" probably lost most of the time.... y cant people take failure.and it hurts even more wen u dont live up to the expectations...u know u havent done well and u dont deserve to be there... still ur heart doesnt accept.. ur mind sort of knows 'its over'.. but this dumb heart doesnt know... y is it?? is it because of the desire to suceed... or is it because u have invested so much time and effort into it??? i honestly dont have a clue even after a lot of thought into it... but my younger bro casually put it this way... ' we were designed this way wen we were born... its by default.. no reason or rhyme... see for eg. wen u were a child and u were hungry, u cried and u got what u wanted... but now that u r grown up ,crying no more works... so u fail and u feel bad'...pretty simple.. isn't it.... i dunno how a guy 3 years younger to me cud have such a profound thought...
