FALLING AND RISING

Not falling is not an achievement. The real achievement is when you fall and then get up again—the person who has never fallen hasn’t accomplished anything. The true achiever is someone who falls and then rises to walk once more.

Someone who has never fallen has not truly moved because in this world, everyone who moves will inevitably fall at some point. So, what value is there in never falling? The core of humanity is about moving forward. Humans are made to walk, not to sit still. And when they walk, it is natural that they will encounter falls.

Not falling indicates stagnation, while falling indicates movement and action. One should not be ashamed of falling but should view it as a sign of their vibrant humanity. When they adopt this outlook, they will quickly get up and stand again after falling.

“Not falling is no achievement” means, in other words, that not walking is no achievement. True achievement lies in rising again after falling—which means that real success is to keep moving forward. The one who stands still will, of course, avoid falling. But those who walk have only one story in this world: they fall again and again, and rise again and again.

When a person falls and then gets up to walk again, it shows that falling has become a source of new courage for them. By falling, they gather new strength for themselves.

Instead of sitting still, keep walking, and after falling, get up and stand again. This is the secret to success in this world. You cannot create a new world for yourself, and therefore, you cannot avoid falling—for the Creator of this world has designed it that way.
