THE FIRST STEP
It is sometimes a mistake to climb; it is always a mistake never even to make the attempt. If you do not climb, you will not fall-this is true. But is it that bad to fail,that hard to fall?"{Neil Gaiman}
From a subjective point of view, failure is not the opposite of success. It is the stepping stone and an integral part of success. We can learn so much from failure than we may learn from success. When George Oppong-Weah of Liberia decided, contested and lost the Liberian national elections in 2005, many opposers hurled out negative criticisms about the football icon lacking proper education, and that being the reason for his loss. The truth, however, was that he lacked proper education. He did not even have a High School Certificate though he could speak various recognized languages including French, English, Italian, etc. This historic man was willing and ready to confront and correct any hiccups and challenges that could have been the reason for his then downfall. He worked hard, forgetting about his critics to obtain a high school diploma at age 40, went on to Devry University in Florida, where he obtained his bachelor and master's degree at age 46. Today, the former World Football of the year and still the only African to have that accolade, is the President-elect of the republic of Liberia.
