In highschool I was cut-off the Excellent grade because I was 1 mark down. it hurt so much, but I realized that Success is always a blink away.
I was a victim of Job scam, but when I got an invite for another job just after the scam, It never felt as though I lost before. I went, and here I am.

Open your eyes and see! Success is just a blink away, and the thought of failure blurs the glossy view.
