Success and failure are two sides of the same coin. While success inspires us to move ahead in our lives, failure introduces us to the mantra of being successful in life. Unless we come face to face with failure, we cannot understand the essence of success. For a good player, both success and failure are equally important. He takes inspiration from failure and moves forward on the path of success without stopping. We too have to move forward on the path of life inspired by this feeling and achieve the set goal.
