The true measure of a person is not their success or how they deal with it.
It is how they deal with failure or setbacks.
We all fail or have setbacks from time to time. It is an inevitable aspect or our lives.
On the majority of occasions these perceived failings are slight and with time they disappear into nothing more than cautionary or sad memories.
As we get older these problems necessarily occur with increased frequency. It is how we deal with these setbacks that define us.
Failures, or what appear to be failures at the time, are as inevitable as the sunrise. They will happen until we no longer exist.
Rising above them by learning from them is the true mark of success.
