Eight of Diamonds


Aren't we very happy and overwhelmed everytime we achieve something? This happiness last for a minute to an week. Now, everytime failure comes, the effect most likely being felt through the duration of a lifetime. the only thing that failure and success have in common, is that they are both charged to experience. Achievements gave people confidence, credentials, and good reputation. They even gave us new friends. Failure, on the other hand, decreases confidence, staining credentials, and sometimes damaging integrity. Most likely, people walk away, as if they never knew you. That is why, the eight of diamonds states "THE PRICE OF SUCCESS IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE PRICE OF FAILURE." Winning just adds new things to us while losing takes away a part of ourselves. But those negative experiences are also ways to show us that we still doesn't reach our full potential. A motivation to be better than what we used to be. New knowledge gain, new experience that will strengthen our backbone. Yup, failure has the higher price but it is up to us to gain much more from it. Think about it.

The Nine of Flowers


A winner is not born, they are made. But each and everyone who survived the delivery in the world was indeed a survivor, a person who triumph just to be challenged again in the next minute, hour, days, months, and years of their existence. Anyways, we can say that the proof that we are still living is when we still pains and hardships. We define ourselves by small victories that we make. The truth is, we define ourselves by learning and implementing what we lessons we have learn. That means, it includes failures. The similarity between normal people and achievers is that both of them experience defeats and failures, the difference is that the achievers learns, stands up, and reach for their goals, while others quit. Failure is something to be used as a too, an instrument in to which we strengthen ourselves. Getting up after is each fall is what separates the winner and the loser. Like what Homer said "Trying is the first step towards failure." It is also a huge leap towards winning. The lesson of the Nine of Flowers: Success is failure turned inside out.
