THE CONCEPT OF SUCCESS - Life on a coin


To begin with, take any normal coin. Make one side success and the other failure. Flip the coin in the air and wait for it to finally settle on the ground.

Now this is what the whole concept means. At the time that you have the coin in your hands depicts your possession of your destiny, your mission-the true reflection of your self is in your hands and that you have been given a great opportunity by God almighty to create a better future for yourself. This alone tells you that you are the masterpiece of your life, the true reflection of yourself. This tells you that whatever decision you take today, determines your future tomorrow.

Secondly when you toss or throw the coin, then you have made your decision to either be a failure in life or a source of inspiration to acquire success; thus when you see the outcome of whatever decision you took before flipping the coin in the near future. If you took a decision to go through every loophole to ensure that at the end of your struggle, the head of the coin (success) will surely face the sky. But if you make the wrong move that will lead you something worth failure, then that is going to reflect in whatever place you find yourself in future. It is not the decision taking, but what to decide is what matters. Moreover, after holding the coin in your hands; which depicts your destiny and after throwing it, what do we see? At the entire movement of the coin in the air, it is noticed that the faces wrestle against each other. Success and failure all looking for a place in your life but it is up to you to decide which of them you feel fighting for. Again, it shall be noticed that the head faces the sky whiles the tail follows and then back to the head again. This keeps on repeating itself until finally one side will face the sky. This makes it clear that no condition is permanent indeed. Whiles enjoying life, one should bear in mind that one is heading towards a very serious state of hardship of which if you don’t pick something better from there, then, you are heading towards doom. On the other hand, if you are in the state of grief, depression, anxiety, pain, suffering, etc., remember that it is nothing but a sign to tell you that there is something better awaiting you depending on the conditions of your hard work. We need to concentrate on our lives and make good decisions, decisions that will not benefit us alone but the society at large. We should be a source of encouragement and a source of change-a source of hope for our societies. Where you come from does not matter, but the decision that you take and how it affects the societies is what we should concentrate on. Last but not least, the coin finally settles on the ground with one side definitely facing the sky.

Now to be able to understand and experience it in actual sense, one must put him or herself in the illustration; look deep in your heart and judge for yourself. Ask yourself this question, if it was you, which side will face the sky? This is what man should be concerned about because when we say one is ripping what he or she has sawn, then this is what we are talking about, thus; when you know the implication of your decision and the effects of either your hard work or laziness. What you see on the coin is the true reflection of yourself.

 Whatever you think, feel and believe is the true reflection of yourself; if you get grade ‘A’ in all subjects, then that is what you are, if you can paint lovely pictures, then that is what you are, if you can talk and to move people into positive thinking, then that is what you are. Life is not about what you want, is about what you can do and do it better, that is your real self. At the end of it all we come to understand that failure should not be an obstacle but only a sign to alert you of a much greater and better life in future. Success on the other hand is what we should be afraid of because it rings the bell of discomfort and unrest in your life.
