Life is like the sand castles we build by the sea shores.

We implement the best ideas and invest all our efforts and time building the lovely castle bit by bit. It requires a lot of patience and tremendous hardwork to mould the wet sand lying by the shore  into the palace of our dreams. Every step we take, every window or tower we place has to be handled with caution. And  while we are busy constructing it, splaaashhhh…..suddenly the waves come, uninvited, shattering all our dreams and dilapidating the beautiful piece of work.

This is the time when god puts us to test. He tests our perseverance, our determination.

This is the moment which actually gives birth to both failures and successes. The failures are those who take the easier way of giving up on the idea of taking the challenge to start the work all over again, while successes, though need immense courage of beginning the task knowing that they might end up with a broken castle at any point of time, do have the fortitude to give it one more try.

Life, which has been quoted as the toughest taskmaster, does not take the guarantee for any move we make in it. It never comes with the assurance of even awarding us with the tiniest bit of reward which we anticipate for ourselves.   

And there are times, we all would admit when we get the most gratifying gifts from life which are least expected by us.

It is a package filled with umpteen number of sweet and sour surprises for us. Until we open this present, we cannot get a taste of it.

Life gives us smiles and also gives us tears, not to dishearten or discourage, but to make sure that we understand the importance of every grin that spreads across our lips.

It always tries to maintain a balance so that we value the happiness or achievements which come to us and do not take them for granted.

Hence the mantra goes something like “NEVER TAKE A FAILURE TO YOUR HEART AND A SUCCESS TO YOUR HEAD”

You never know what life has in store next, for you.
