Success and its timing

'Everyone has a thoughtful day when a philosophy bug bites them and spreads its venom into the thoughts of the mind.'

Does success really have any timing?
No; the obvious answer to this common sense question.
It can occur at any time, which brings me to the next question, "Should you get success early on in life?"
No.

1. For you don't get to test and try all the possible outcomes by yourself.
And "Who likes doing easy things, anyway?" The swag that comes with uttering this sentence.... is unsaid.

2. You don't have any regrets that "I didn't get to do tha,t" "what if the other option was better than this and that I could have been happier than I'm right now."
(It's like the apple in the others' basket always look bigger situation.)

3. An opportunity to tap all the options that one has.
That is one learns from one's own experiences and not a mere read/listen-and-follow process.

4. You don't value success as much as you would have in the other scenario (which is after experiencing the taste failure).

5. UnFortunately, (for success can never be unfortunate) you don't have any stories to share with other people or your next generation, no leading by examples, for it is the mix of both ups and downs that make up for a good watch.
6. And the most bitter part of it all is that people sometimes take your success/achievement for granted or underestimate your capabilities. Saying it must be your luck.
People secretly envy it for you have achieved it at a young age and that they have to show respect or oblige to someone younger to them.

PS All these are the things which look good only in the written and motivational world. When one actually has to go through the rough waters and cannot locate any escape way, all the patience and courage tested for, you really are not game to such thoughts.
Also, it really is not success if you are not happy with it.

PPS I know there will be a majority of people who will sit back and trash this post as 'non-sense' (to think of it, had I not been its author, even I would have belonged to that category) and only few (yes I deliberately omitted the 'a' before few) would relate to the points mentioned above.

PPPS I'm a little wierdo; I start feeling awkward after writing a word or two tgat have a philosophical touch to them (Writers should feel proud on such happenings). It's like giving that writer's-bliss feeling a miss.

*It so happened that this post has less of a script and more Post Scripts (Yes, that's what PS stands for; the full form is as much boring as much stylish the abbreviated form is.)*
