At one point Selvandar, who was managing a huge business empire, wanted to hand over all the responsibilities to his son and retire.
He has only one son. While bringing up his son with discipline, he lacked courage and grew up with no maturity to face even a small problem. How can you hand over the business to your son when he is like this? He thought. He then took his son to a wrestling coach he knew.
To that coach Selvandar, I am enrolling your son in my wrestling school. But you have to leave your son here for two months.
You should not even look back at him for these two months. After 60 days you will be satisfied with his progress. He said that he would have changed in such a way that pride would also arise.
He is the only hope that the rich have. So he agreed to the condition and left his son there. For sixty days he concentrated on his business without worrying about his son.
Exactly two months later the coach organized a wrestling match in which the rich man's son and another talented wrestler participated. When the match started, the rich man was shocked to see the player pitted against his son.
His face withered as he wondered where his son was going to defeat him, who looked like a beast with a well-built body. As Selvandar expected, his son collapsed at the first blow of his opponent.
But within a few seconds he got up clean and showed the trick he knew. Even so, he could not catch the opponent's punch and fell down. This happened many times.
In the end the rich man's son loses and the opponent wins. Returning to Coach Selvandar, how did your son look? Did you notice his bravery in it? he asked.
For that Selvandar, even two months of training is of no use. He said that he has no hope that manhood and valor will ever come to him. Coach, I feel sorry for your ignorance. You see success and failure superficially.
Have you noticed that every time your boy falls down, he has the confidence to get back up on his own? He rose more than he fell.
As far as I'm concerned, that's success. That's what a true hero should have! Falling down is not failure. Failure is failure. Failure to learn from failure is the real failure. Now tell me, is your son a success? Failure? He said.
Selvandar, you are right. My son still has the confidence to stand up for himself. This is exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you so much!! After saying that, he paid his dues and took his son.
Justice:
When we fail and fall down, we must keep the lessons and experiences we get and keep moving forward in our journey to success. That is true success!
