“Pain is pain She lost her baby Her life fell apart Everyone was there for her lending a helping hand all the time On the other side she failed her final school year It hurt her so much People didn't support her as she drowned in her pain and failure You see it really doesn't matter what caused your pain It's all the same my dear So never feel why is she crying over a failing year awhile I lost my baby Don't ever compare Pain is pain Maybe a different reason But pain is pain”

“It is quite possible that, even if you set the most relevant, realistic goals, you may not achieve them in the way or the time you wanted to. Life may throw something unexpected in your path, which stops you from achieving what you want, when you want. This is not failure. Feeling like you have failed is bound to lead to low mood, and can often come about if things haven't quite gone according to plan. However, the best thing to do is to draw a mental line under the experience, learn from what has happened and try again. As long as you are still trying, you are working towards your long-term aims; and as long as you are doing that, you are never truly failing.”
