Safe Harbour On Both Sides

Safe Harbour on Both Sides have tried again and passed the exam the next time with more preparation. But disappointment blinded him. He focused only on the next shore—and forgot that there was also a shore behind him. If he had just looked back, he would have seen that a safe harbour was still waiting. But he looked only ahead— not behind. And standing at the edge of life, he deprived himself of life itself. Failures come in every person’s life. And it is natural to feel shocked or regretful when failure strikes. In fact, realising one’s mistakes can be a good sign—if it leads to a fresh and better effort. But if that feeling of failure turns only into sorrow and self-destruction, then it becomes a greater failure than the first one. Remember: The one who hasn’t yet failed hasn’t truly entered life. And the one who, after failing, only collects pain and regret—even if life gives him another chance, he loses it again. Palmer once said something very true: “To be sorry without taking steps for correction is like removing water from a boat without plugging the hole.”
