Save some time for sorrow
Cause it will surely come your way
Prepare yourself for failure
It will give you strength someday
--John Mellencamp, “Save Some Time to Dream”
Success in life is the byproduct of effort; however, most of the time success only comes after multiple fits and starts, and many small failures. What I mean by this is that life is difficult, challenging, and you will come up short from time to time no matter how hard you try. In fact, sorrow and failure are part of all of our lives, and as such we must prepare ourselves to handle that adversity. Because it’s only by being prepared for failure that we are able to savor the sweet taste of success.
