Positioning

In life, it's always about positioning. I used to like this song that said that sometimes you can never quench your thirst. You won't even be given a drop. And sometimes, pouring clouds will follow you.

Sometimes when the winds are behind you, you walk fast. You grow fast. You get the acceptance. You get the applause. You get the praise. You rise to a point where you would be given anything that came out of your mouth. People follow you. You become the authority. Then you are proud of yourself.

But then it takes no time at all to change all that. You fall. You become weak. You are forgotten, as if you were never there. You are in the dark. Everything seems impossible, and everything seems unachievable. You fumble in the dark and you catch nothing. Then you doubt yourself.

The fact is that it is the same you, each time. Its only your positioning that changes. Character shines during the high times, but it is made during the low ones.
