I mean, how hard is it for us to accept our failure and short-coming as merely the impetus as opposed to considering them as definite factors impeding our success. having put this firmly into perspective, perhaps the next thing to ponder is WHY you should succeed. this will put the bigger picture of our success into perspective and probably take the pressure from our quest (sometimes life-long) of the HOW to succeed and the WHAT is success.... somebody needs to deflect us in this direction and mental framework soon.... or maybe i should!! in summation, consider the words of Immanuel Kant: "if i ought, then i can". what do you think Sunny? regards, John Nasaye Sunny,
