Quote of the day by Raja Ravi Verma: “There is no failure, it’s only unfinished success”

Legendary painter Raja Ravi Varma's quote, "There is no failure, it’s only unfinished success," reframes setbacks as temporary roadblocks. His own journey, marked by criticism before achieving fame, illustrates that what appears as failure is merely a stage in the ongoing process of achieving success, much like a painting in progress. Failures often feel like the end of the world, like there’s no light beyond the tunnel, a dead end. In those moments, we are drenched so drenched in hopelessness that it almost seems the world is ticking into judgment and no way beyond, with every passing second.But we forget…
