I saw this popular adage scratched on the wall of a hut in a village in the suburb of Abuja last week. I guess it was the spelling error that first made the quote remarkable but on closer examination, I thought, ''hey! this is right in its own right''.
We are often inundated with statistics about how most business start ups fail in the first year of operation but not many of those statisticians bother to follow up on the entrepreneur who failed at their first business to find out what else they went on to make a fantastic success of.
As I wrote in ''1/6 is a good score'' (you can request a free e-copy by the way) ''greatness is not measured merely by where we are, it is measured more by how far we have come, not by what we have but by what we have given up, not by the exploits of our strengths but by the victories over our handicaps''.
If you haven't learnt anything from watching movies, you must have atleast learnt that however much they may suffer, the good guys always win at last - you are the good guy.
