Once upon a time in a forest, a monkey was hanging over the trees. Not far from there, there was a bunch of winds blowing. There was a hurricane, a storm, and a storm. The three types of wind are arguing about who is the most powerful of the three.

Increasingly, their debate became even more exciting. So, because no one gave in, they also agreed to fight each other strength. They looked around. And, look near them the monkey who was engrossed hanging it. All three winds were agreed to fight strongly by trying to knock the monkey from the tree.
First is the turn of the typhoon. He immediately blew on the monkey. The monkey blown by a hurricane, immediately embraced the tree he was holding. The stronger the wind blows, the faster the monkey handles on the tree. Hurricanes finally surrendered, accompanied by the taunts of the other two winds. 

It was the turn of the wind. Noiselessly,  he immediately blew the monkey, as if he did not want to give the  chance of a monkey who had been a little loosened after the hurricane  stopped blowing. But, the noise caused by the wind responded by monkeys in the same way. The more tightly blowing, the faster the monkey handles on the big, sturdy tree that seems to be his protector.
A storm of wind surrendered. Finally, the storm immediately shows its strength. With the storm he had, he immediately blew the monkeys as fast as he could. But, again, the monkey is getting tighter on the big tree that wobbled by the wind of a storm. Monkeys were not successfully dropped by storm winds. 

So, the storm wind finally gave up. The three winds were not enough to have the power that could knock the monkey. Until, when they talk about the greatness of monkeys, a breeze comes. The small wind blew curiously why the three big winds were talking about the greatness of the monkeys they were unable to break.
Hearing the greatness of the monkey, the breeze also wanted to try his strength. Of course, the three big winds laughed at him. Because, the wind is very fast not able to drop the monkey, let alone a small wind seems. However, the breeze ignored their mockery. He immediately went to the monkey and blew the cool breeze. 

The monkey who gets a gentle breeze apparently feel the conveniences. The cool, blowing air made her fall asleep on one of the big branches of the tree. Soon, due to falling asleep with a fitting position, the monkey immediately fell. The strong grip of the monkeys that loosened from sleep fell to the wind making the monkeys lose their balance and fall.
Seeing that, the three great pompous winds claimed to be defeated. The  small but soothing breeze apparently succeeded in turning the monkey  into submission and falling from the big tree that protected it. 

Often we get a lot of exams that feel very heavy. But, precisely because of that, we become even more powerful. Trials that often come will make us more determined to continue to advance and fight. Difficulty is often a booster that makes us as a tough person who is ready to advance to the "battlefield" of life. Just like the story. The stronger the wind blows, the stronger the monkeys try to survive. If we are able to do so, we will undoubtedly be stronger in defending against various trials.
However,  if we have successfully passed the test and achieve much success, do  not let us just fall and off guard by a test named pleasure. Often, the breeze in the form of rank, position, wealth actually makes us forget. Finally,  like the story of a monkey that falls from a gentle breeze, we become  an unconcerned person arrogant, drunk in power, or lulled by various  awards. If we do not realize it and fix it, we may just "fall" and "drown" by the success we have created. 

Therefore, it's good we self-evaluation. If when in the bottom position, how we should be facing a tough test. But,  once it is above, we also have to look within ourselves, lest we get  caught in a comfortable zone that makes you fall asleep.
Let's keep introspective and careful. When it fails, remember that there is a successful side that is ready to wait. Conversely, when successful, remember also that every moment of failure will also continue to overshadow.
Success, amazing!
