It's Okay to Fail But Never Give Up

Yes, it is perfectly OKAY to fail and although it takes years for me to finally come into realisation not to be hard on myself. Being the eldest child, the trait of needing to be perfect among the younger siblings growing up can be both blessing and curse at the same time. I pick up the idea of wanting to chase certain dreams and being competitive because it excites me. However over time, I beginning to accept the fact that if I don’t win, that’s ok so long I’ve tried and do my best. It’s the effort that counts. Part of life is to fail in order to succeed. I remembered climbing Mount Rinjani, on the last 500 metre stretch. Probably the toughest deal I had with the majestic mountain. It was like 3 steps up and 2 steps down. I could literally seek the peak but the mountain was testing me repeatedly. It was just before the first sunrise, the light that silently showing its true color, where I thought to myself, I’ve come this far, let’s keep trying and boy I really put all my energy after sleepless nights. Coz I never give up and that is the one mountain that moved me to tears upon reaching the peak.
