I saw many around me feeling low after a failure and putting themselves on airs when the result is the other way.I too did this,which consequently made me to introspect .This made me realize that such behavior not only hurts others but also costs me immensely. I want to share this with you ,so that it helps in your personality building.
It is essential to aspire for something big, and equally important is to work for it.Any body who works so sincerely in the right direction will be rewarded in the form of a victory.There is no problem till this, because the ego which is sleeping inside will not wake up till your victory. But ,the real struggle arises when this dirty face lifts its head up so as to look down everybody else who accompanied you in the battle but lost,unfortunately.You will be blinded by this.It will not let you respect those who really deserve it-they were with you in your turbulent times.It makes you search for the new companions of "your status".It enjoys your arrogance,your apathy, your selfishness and greediness.Now it makes you a slave of it.It breeds overconfidence in you to an extent sufficient to make you crumble disastrously when the time comes.And mind you,THAT TIME COMES.The sooner it comes the lesser will be the disaster!!!
It is only one side of a coin.After getting completely swallowed by ego, you will have to face the music.From now on the hardworking'you' , the determined 'you' will vanish soon.You will fight the battles anyway,not for your sake but for the sake of your prestige-EGO.And you will soon build your castles on air-false prestige,for you will not look at your mistakes and learn from them as your ego no more allows that.This will start your journey towards your disaster.And at some point of time failure will come to you so cruelly that you will be thrown back to the rock bottom...not your initial position.Then you have to toil hard not to grow but to arrive at your initial position itself.This may lead towards frustration and distress.At some points people committed suicides too,they call it depression.
So do you need all this? No right!
Hence it is always healthy both physically and mentally to avoid - getting swept away by results.That nurtures ego and you know the story that follows :-)
