Letting Yourself Down
No one succeeds everyday, everytime. Neither can someone fail everytime. But when your life is going ok and you suffer from a failure. Is it ok? Is it ok to fail when you think you shouldn't have? Is it ok to cry when you were supposed to celebrate?

Cry, Cry, My Friend
When you work so hard on something that your mind gets used up and your eyes are bagged by black circles, but still you fail-not by a margin, but you fail miserably, it hurts.
When you thought you had got it but you didn't get it, instead, you fall in a cliff while trying to get it, it hurts.
And it should hurt, why wouldn't it? If you feel like crying, then cry. Cause it hurts. It hurts because you tried your best. And when we realise something we wanted was beyond our best, it hurts.

Build Up Your Fist
There may be 2 cases further on:
- The event is recurring- In such a case, where you get a second chance, you should build your first. Hard. One's best efforts are also dependent upon time given. A punch from 18 inces is way much stronger than a punch from 1 inch. Try hard the next time. Turn your tears of disappointment to those of vengeance. Bounce back-1 month, 3 month or 3 years. For this will be stupendous this time. ;)

It Isn't
2. The event is non-recurring- In this case, where this was your first-and-last or first-or-last chance, and you failed, when someone tells you that it's ok, you are probably going to punch him in the nose. Yes, it isn't ok if this was your last chance, but it shouldn't be your last chance of your life I guess. Change the direction of your efforts. Maybe you spent your whole efforts pushing on an immovable wall. Try to push a sandbag, rather. You will succeed, my friend. Just need to put the right efforts for the right duration in the right direction.
