There will be moments in life when you fail, and those around you—especially the ones who never truly believed in you—will seize the opportunity to speak ill, just to prove they were right all along. They’ll say, “We knew this would happen.”
And then, when you succeed and share your joy with a genuine heart, don’t be surprised if many remain silent. Some may offer hollow congratulations, while others will secretly burn with envy—yet never let their expressions betray their emotions.
The truth is: don’t live for others.
Success and failure are both inevitable companions in life. They shape us. At times, they push us forward; at others, they pull us back. But in both cases, they help us grow.
Never lose heart.
And never forget the faces—those who glowed at your failure and smirked at your struggles, but couldn’t celebrate your triumphs without bitterness. Recognizing such people is the first step toward maturity—and real success.
