Failure is the pillar of success. /Perseverance is the key to success.
Robert Bruce, the king of Scotland, fought several battles to regain the freedom of his country but was each time defeated. He had to flee from his kingdom to save his life. He took shelter in a remote cave. Naturally he was very sad. One day he was lying in his hiding place. He was brooding over his misfortune. Suddenly he noticed a spider trying to reach the ceiling with the help of its silken thread to complete the cobweb. The spider tried again and again to go up but dropped down every time. Six attempts made by the spider failed one after another. But still it did not give up the struggle and went on trying. Bruce observed the spider with keen interest and saw that the seventh attempt of the spider succeeded. The perseverance of the spider encouraged Bruce. He saw a ray of hope. Filled with new hope he brought together his scattered forces and faced his enemies once more with renewed energy. This time he prevailed over his enemies and succeeded in defeating them.
