Are School Back-Benchers More Successful in Life?
Maybe! Because they know how to handle failures, and accept rejections.
Nobody likes failing in life, of course!
And yet, most of us fail, at some point or the other.
While most of us accept the fact that it is not always possible to win, it is difficult for certain people to do that.
Ever wondered who those people are?
People who’ve never tasted failure, right since playschool.
While parents take great pride in flaunting that their child always stands first in his class, they never think about the impact that it can have on his mind.
Never failing in school can either make a child too confident about himself, or put him under a lot of pressure (of always being the best).
And both these can prove to be disastrous in the long run.
A topper in my school is not equipped enough to handle the lows in life.
Not his fault. Because he never went through that in the first place.
Somebody’s rightly said, you learn through experience.
And so it’s important to go through failure, to learn how to cope up with that.
