The thin line between Success and Failure -by Jack MA.

Lots of people may think there's a world of difference between the two, but the reality is that they're much closer than you think. That's because in order to success big, you need to risk falling big. And often, you need to fall over and over again if you want to get the success you really deserve. You must understand that there is no hiding from challenges as long as you are still breathing. Challenges may mean different things to us.
A college student struggling to make C grade when another easily get A's is going through a phase of challenges. The closest thought would be 'am dull'. I won't make it in life. Oh! how I wish that is true over time. I have seen people, who were not top rated students in their college days, become owners of renowned conglomerate. Some of them did not even finish college yet they are impacting lives today.
What makes you think you are an expectation and your life has no meaning? that's falsehood. And you know who is telling you that? YOUR MIND. 
The mind is a great tool that can either propel you to greatness or drive you to failure, depending on how you use it. Those who succeed in life see the possibilities in challenges,convert them to their advantage and follow their dream(s) through till it becomes  a reality. Whereas, other people who eventually  becomes  a failure  saw problems and difficulties as great insurmountable mountains and drowned in the misery forever.
Every purposeful loving starts  with the mind. Your success or failure story would be defined by how positive or how negative  you engage your mind. I tell you if Hellen Keller had thought of her defectiveness(deaf and blind) as a limitation  to succeed ,she wouldn't have dared to live a life graciously as an author political activist and lecturer.
A lot of well established people today are our role model and we want to be like them at all cost. That's cool you know! But do you also know that there was a point in their life where things seemed tough and challenging? What if they had given up on their dream, would you still affiliated yourself with them and make them your role model today? Your life is a book before all eyes, they are waiting to read with an optimistic mind. If you fail to attain success in life, you've simply passed a message that you are not fit to be a MODEL . Life is a choice, but choose to live in a world of optimism regardless of circumstances around you. Recreate your personality with positive activities. Success and failure are two worlds apart but what differentiates them is just a thin line -"THE MIND"
