Start where you stand and never mind the past,
The past won't help you in beginning new,
If you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through;
This is another chapter in the book,
This is another race that you have planned,
Don't give the vanished days a backward look,
Start where you stand.
The world won't care about your old defeats
If you can start anew and win success,
The future is your time, and time is fleet
And there is much of work and strain and stress;
Forget the buried woes and dead despairs,
Here is a brand new trial right at hand,
The future is for him who does and dares,
Start where you stand.
Old failures will not halt, old triumphs aid,
To-day's the thing, to-morrow soon will be;
Get in the fight and face it unafraid,
And leave the past to ancient history;
What has been, has been; yesterday is dead
And by it you are neither blessed nor banned,
Take courage, man, be brave and drive ahead,
Start where you stand.
–Berton Braley

People get attracted to one's success and are hardly interested in listening to the failures and efforts behind them so, it simply means failures don't last in fact they are there to make you a better person and what last is your success in people mind and in front of eyes. It's totally fine if today we have faced failure because failure takes place when we give a try so definitely there will be tomorrow when will taste success. Don't be afraid of challenges because they are must and to be a part of life, face it because the one who works hard gets to taste the fruit of success. Remember that it's better to keep your past in past, just simply take the lesson and keepimg that move ahead because "The one who knows to move on is the one who will survive".
