We would all rather succeed than fail. But trouble lurks for those experiencing success after success for every plan that has been laid by him. Gradually he become over confident and boast of his ability and cease to listen to others. And nothing could be more dangerous than this.
Confidence is a good thing, without any confidence it is better not to set out any plan. Confident we develop should be qualified not absolute. After all there is nothing in this world that is certain or that we can be absolutely sure of. All certainty is relative, everything is tentative and subject to change.
Some people find it difficult to understand this and even a little success will convince him that he can be absolutely certain he know what to do. As long as we keep in mind that nothing is certain, we will remain humble and capable of listening with an open mind to the views of others.
It is better to be successful two out of three times. Failure that translates into humility and lessons learned is what makes we grows. No one wants to go through a series of failures, but a series of successes too can harbour risks.
