Last Man Standing

Last Man standing can be in different forms which may come in one's favor or to one's downfall. Sometimes many people have to struggle to take the headway in whatever they are doing but when there is a failure, then one's effort would be seen as a failure. So the best is to remain stable and glued to what you are doing or to rain glued to what can bring you Joy so that you can derive success from it.

Mary, who was in primary school and took the last position. Anytime results are called, she will be very happy to receive her result thinking that the position she is always having is the best. This was out of ignorance. One fateful day, when she got home with her result, her parents scolded her badly to the extent that she began to cry. She was so happy initially with the result she has been bringing but now, she still saw it as better just because of the kind of mindset she was having. One fateful day, she took 6th position out of 26 in her class. This was her best result so far. She began to cry for having just a unit as a result instead of tens. So, when she got home, her parents were very happy for her and gave her something so tangible as a gift. 

When it was another exam, she wrote it to her satisfaction and indeed she took the first position. It was a happy moment for her since her parents had advised her that they only want her to take the first position and she will be given gifts. So, in the end, she was given gifts in the school since she was the last man standing. Ever since then, she has never taken tens but does focus on a unit which is the first position. She was the last man standing just because of the present position she has taken. 

This is an achievement and this is what we all are yelling for. In life, success is what we are fighting for. This is why we are all struggling hard to make headway to success. Whatever you are doing, don't forget the son of who you are. Just keep struggling hard to make success and to elevate your talent. The success you have made today may run away from you if you did not take pain to keep it intact but will remain increasing when you keep moving with lots of hard work. Hard work pays.

In another way, one can be the last man standing only if you come last in position. The way you feel about failures or the way you have seen failures may be too high. When you take things for granted or when you have seen laziness as the best in your life, then you will be the last man standing. So, to remove yourself from this list of the last man standing, you need to make things right by working so hard to aim at success.

A boy who is always taking first in his days has been praised too much. He knows how to read his books to the fullest. He does not take things for granted. His studies have been the number one and his priority. So, one day, when he was given results, he was perplexed and filled with joy. His parents as well as everyone else began to praise him. He kept on maintaining this position not until one day when he got himself involved with bad companies. Sometimes we should measure the kind of friends we are keeping because they can influence us on the wrong path or to follow the wrong path. 

So, he was relenting by listening to the words of his friends. He never takes anything serious any longer. People who were praising Jim began to see some element of bad behaviour within him. He later stopped reading his books and also stopped attending classes. All he has to do is to follow his friends. So, when it was exam time, he was out of the line. He never reads his books and so did not do his exams properly. The ones he was moving with who deprived him of reading were strongly reading their books. They just wanted to stop him from taking the first. Their plans worked out to be successful. When results were out, his friends made it leaving him at the back. He was the last man standing. He took the last position which made him regret it. 

One thing is for sure when you accept failures, then they shall stick to you but when you reject them, you will come out victorious. We all are craving for success and we shall see it when we work for it.
