"باید خدا بود تا بتوان موفقیت‌ها را از شکست‌ها بدون اشتباه تشخیص داد"

Being able to distinguish between success and failure without any errors is almost like trying to play God. Now, let's break that down a bit. At its core, this idea is about how difficult it is for us mere mortals to accurately judge what’s a real win or loss in life. Sometimes what looks like a failure can turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Other times, what seems like a triumph might lead to unforeseen problems. Our perspective is just too limited to see the full picture right away.

Think about the famous story of Thomas Edison. When he was inventing the light bulb, he failed thousands of times. But Edison didn't see those attempts as failures. He famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." For him, each failure was actually a step towards success. And look where it led—our modern electric light! Back in his lab, in the middle of all those 'failures,' it would have been tough for anyone to tell if he was succeeding or failing. Only with the benefit of hindsight can we see the true outcome.

Imagine you’re a painter. You spend months on a piece. When you first finish, no one likes it. Critics are harsh, friends are politely unimpressed. It feels like a flop. But then, years later, someone stumbles upon it, and suddenly it’s hailed as a masterpiece. Your 'failure' turned into success, but it took time—and a shift in perspective—for that to happen.

So, how do we apply this wisdom in our daily lives? First off, don’t be too quick to judge your own efforts harshly. What seems like a setback might just be part of a longer journey toward something amazing. Stay patient and keep an open mind. Second, try to view 'failures' as learning opportunities. Each misstep teaches you something valuable, even if it’s not immediately apparent.

To really bring this home, let’s talk about Sarah's story. Sarah was a tech entrepreneur who started her own company. Her first product launch didn’t go well. Sales were dismal, and she felt like she had let everyone down. But instead of throwing in the towel, Sarah decided to dig into the feedback she received. She realized the product needed some tweaks and that her marketing approach was off. She made the changes, launched again, and this time it took off. Her initial 'failure' was crucial for her ultimate success. She couldn’t have known at the time how things would turn out, but she kept going and learned from the experience.

So, next time you’re feeling down about a setback, remember: you might not have all the answers now, and that’s okay. What looks like a failure today could very well be the stepping stone to something great tomorrow. It’s all about perspective and perseverance. Besides, none of us are gods, right? We’re just doing our best with the pieces we have.
