The true secret to success in life lies in being able to rise for the eighth time after falling seven times.

How is everyone doing? I hope you are all well. Tell me, has there ever been a time in your life when, despite repeated attempts, you failed? Not just once or twice—but even after failing seven times—did you ever feel like, "I can't go on; perhaps I need to stop now"? If so, then today’s message is for you. Because failing in life isn't a bad thing; rather, it is the ability to rise again after failure that sets a person apart from the rest.

To me, success isn't just about having a lot of money, a good job, or receiving praise from others. Success is about holding onto your inner strength and moving forward even when life repeatedly knocks you down. Often, when we look at a successful person, we assume their life must have been easy. But we don't see the story behind it. We don't witness how many times they failed, how often they felt despair, or how many sleepless nights they spent worrying.

Just as climbing a flight of stairs requires clearing every step, success in life doesn't happen overnight. Sometimes we stumble at the very first step; other times, we fall midway. In those moments, it feels like we are incapable of achieving anything more. But the truth is, falling doesn't finish us; the decision to stay down is what truly stops us.

Not everyone has the courage to try for the eighth time after failing seven times, because the experience of repeated failure breeds fear. Yet, the person who defies that fear and rises again—even if they don't succeed on the eighth attempt—grows stronger, more experienced, and better prepared with every effort.

There have been many times in my own life when things didn't go smoothly. Sometimes circumstances created obstacles, and at other times, I was set back by my own mistakes. But over time, I realized that failure wasn't meant to stop me; instead, it came to teach me something new.

So, no matter how many times you fall in life, never consider yourself finished. Remember, stumbling on the stairs does not mean the journey has ended. The real thing is to dust yourself off and stand up again.

If you can rise for the eighth time after failing seven times, the door to success remains open for you. For a winner in life is not someone who has never fallen; a winner is someone who has risen again every time they fell.
