Phoenix

Failing once doesn't mean you are a failure forever. It just means you haven't succeeded yet. The real failure is when u fell and never wanted to get up again.

Remember what Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Imagine if Thomas was to give up after a couple of attempts, we would have lived literally in darkness right now.

Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely. Remember, you are a once-in-a-lifetime, never-before-on-earth, and never-to-be-again personality.

Life is too short to be ordinary. Make every second counts!

Remember, although your self esteem may rise and fall, but what you're really worth never changes.

Be more like a phoenix. According to the myth, after a life of 1000 years, it lies down on the funeral pyre and burns to ashes. From the ashes, a new bird arises that lives for another 1000 years. So the point is, don't let some problems end your life. What we should do is to let a new life born out of the ashes of a setback, just like the phoenix.

Don't let somebody else determine your mood. Take control of your own emotion. There's no such thing as a bad mood, unless you chose to make it bad. The choices are in our hands. Live your life to the fullest. Life's short. Chill out (^_~)


A phoenix; in case you don't know what it is ;p
