"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
-Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Accomplishments starts with a decision to try. And in order to reach the peak of success we need to throw caution to the wind and accept every failure that comes along the way. Indeed, it's better to try and fail rather than to regret of not trying at all.
Tonight, It's my pleasure to share few of my greatest achievements in life, for the information of everybody I have no intention to brag or show off what I have accomplished, it still depends on how you perceived it.
Graduating in primary and secondary school level with flying colors.
In elementary and high school, I was a consistent honor student and I have a couple of reasons why I was so desperate to become one. When I was a grade schooler studying is what I really hate the most not until my dad became so surprise and hysterical from the moment he saw my first ever ribbon pinned in the wall of our living room, just so you know guys I am not even included in the top achievers on that time and my teacher just gave me one customized recognition ribbon out of pity, yes you heard it right lol. He showered me words of appreciation and praises, aside from that he even bought me treats and gifts which boosts my will to achieve more to a great extent. Since then I no longer devalued the essence of studying and made it as a habit instead for the reason that there's no such thing that can beat the feeling of being recognized and appreciated by your loved once. Indeed a small gesture counts.
Volleyball secondary women's category overall champion (DIVISION LEVEL)
Our volleyball team is always been considered to be the most weakest team of all time and we viewed winning as an impossible thing to achieved. We are being caught up with feeling of losing already and it seems like it doesn't hurt us that much since we are used to it. But then, a very optimistic and awesome coach has arrived to changed our devastating and hopeless fate. She helped us to bring out our very best until we reached our limit. She put her full trust on us and equipped us to a person we never imagined to be. Even though we are so damn exhausted with the training but when the time has come that we will now face the true battle we notice the changes within ourselves and was able to overcome those barriers that stops us from winning. And yes for the first time we won the game and even qualified in the regional level. I could say that our bruises, body pain, and efforts during the training was paid off. Glory all to God!
My Mom became my first disciple
Most of you already know about this story already and for some who haven't read it yet you can check it here. To sum it up me and my mom are not in good terms and she even discourages me to stop my ministry to God. We often argue every time I go to church and attend some spiritual gatherings and she even told me that I am just making excuses so that I could hang out with my friends, but then nothing can stop me from doing such things that will glorify God. One night, while reading the Bible my mom was acting so aggressive yet I just ignored her. An hour later, I was bothered with the silence and went to her room quickly, I was about to knock the door when I heard her crying in the dark, It took me half of an hour to finally knock the door for almost three times. I thought she will not open it but I was wrong I immediately hug her tight and apologize for everything I have done, and after that I shared her the gospel and told her how amazing our God is. So far that was my biggest and greatest victory in my entire life, now my whole family is serving the Living God.

You said it right, failure is not the end, though it may seem tough to handle at that particular time but when consideration is given, a new beginning is set. I remember a guy that passed through two classes deep failure, he was advised to start again, he did and got the best of result at the end
