stepping stones

life is a course full of stepping stones
ones you have to cross to succeed
although not everything is measured in medals and trophies,
nor is it quantified in points or grades
we still pursue an icon of succession

though to some, every obstacle may be a pitfall
and every difficulty a failure
but when we view it as a simple stepping stone
we learn to learn

we learn from these stepping stones
that though we might not have achieved what we wanted
but we definitely have gained a little knowledge and strength
and we have also accumulated a stronger will and mind
for it is these things that drive the person forward
and pushes the envelope

till we finally stop breathing
will our path of life ends
and only till then will these stepping stones
come to an end
