Path of rigor

We fail all the time. Most people experience the taste of failures at some stages of their lives. I wouldn't say it is a must that you have to fail before you can succeed 'beyond all things', although historically, we've seen many cases of highly successful achievers who've experienced lots of crushing failures and defeats before their great achievements.

When we look through history, we often marvel at the stupendous achievement of those great minds who had succeeded yet often, we did not take into account their path of rigors that brought them to where they were.

It's makes sense to say they are just ordinary folk like us who stuck through to their visions or who just got 'lucky' because they stayed on the course long enough until probability starts to favor them.
