I was never succesful, in the true form of its word.
I was never the top scorer in my school, college or anywhere else. I was never the best athlete. I was not too good at public speaking. I went to some of the BEST colleges in India, but then barely passed my exams... I repeat, barely passed them.
Looking back, i dont think about what i didnt make out from a situation. I never top scored in my life - but i tried like a madman and there was a certain satisfaction in it. I was never the best athlete, but i was in charge of making posters with all patriotic sportsman stuff to be put up in different parts of school. I was the best at doing that and that made my days. I was never the best debater around, but then i found that people still talked to me. The friends i made then, i keep to this day. And from them, i got the talent to be heard and noted. I went to some of the best colleges in India, but barely passed. I did not study much about my subject and almost flunked (which is much different from my current job profile anyway), but i learned life, from an altogether different perspective.
I always tried to make a positive out of a negative. More often than not, it has worked. And the mistakes i did, i have always carefully noted them down. Sometime, some day, i will find a need for them. Maybe i will tell my child about where i went wrong. Maybe there is someone who would need me to point them in the correct path.
To quote you...
"Why is it that I never have the wisdom at the moment?"
My answer would be... so that you can learn by trial and error. So that you can guide another person facing the same predicament. So that you can understand that life is not all about successes alone. So that you can take pride in being who you are despite doing the mistakes you did. So that you can think about it later and ruminate, like you and me are doing right now...
{sorry for the long rant. I just typed it as i was thinking. I aint gonna edit it. What i said here remains for eternity. This is just my thought. No debates about it please. This is just my mind, thats all}
