A story of a life of a man
UNHINGED

“Sometimes, all we have to fear is fear itself”

A person with a very positive outlook on life must have said these words. Indeed, the man was successful, but his words have left a deep impact on both winners and losers. Because the man was successful, people think that if they follow his/her advice, then they too, could achieve success, at least to a certain degree.

Yet, most people fail to notice, that in all that glamour and success, lies a mountain of failure behind that person. Those who notice it, imbibe a much deeper respect for that person, for he managed to put all that failure behind him and continue striding onward. Other lament that that person has had a much stronger start in life, owing to his wealthy parents and rich lifestyle. Yet the name Franklin Delano Roosevelt remains in people’s minds and hearts as a symbol of power, courage and his loatheness towards a contiguous nature.

I believe that my life is going towards that path. A stronger base in life than most people in my country, often deemed as “privileged”,

But then I used my base in life to become stronger than most, eventually losing down to people who have been much less “privileged” than me. Initially I thought of it as a life changing failure, because when you grow thinking that you’re the best, it’s hard to acknowledge a failure of any degree.

Now currently imbibed with a surge of self-growth inspired by my parents, I have learned to take things in my stride from now on. Because as Albert Camus said, “We have to live to let live!!”
