The Sweet Return as a continuum between Success and the Addiction to Failure

 

Capt -Mohammed Hassan Al-Tahir

In the human journey toward self-fulfillment, success remains:

 

 

 

– A dream that haunts everyone,

– An obsession that never leaves the ambitious.

 

But what is success?

 

– Is it reaching the summit?

– Or is it the ability to rise after every fall?

 

In truth, success is not a final destination, but a long path of trials, failures, and experiences that refine the soul and shape ambition.

 

Success is not merely a material achievement or fleeting fame, but rather:

– A state of inner contentment that arises when a person aligns with their goals and feels they are moving in the right direction.

 

It is the ability to:

– Turn dreams into reality,

– And make a positive impact on oneself and society.

 

Success is not measured only by what we possess, but by what we overcome—and by the inspiration we give to others.

Success Between Aspiration and Reality

 

Aspiration is the fuel that drives us forward, but reality often places harsh challenges in our way.
Here lies the gap between what we hope for and what is actually available.

Yet this gap is not a barrier—it is an opportunity to reassess, plan, and grow.

Those who lack the courage to face reality will never be able to turn their dreams into achievements.

 

Failure is the Beginning of Success :

 

In his renowned book “Sudanese Elites and the Addiction to Failure”, the author presents a bold idea that
– acknowledging failure is the first step toward success.

 

As Thomas Edison once said when asked about his failed attempts to invent the light bulb:
– “I have not failed. I’ve just found 1,000 ways that won’t work.”

 

This mindset transforms failure from a stigma into a learning tool
– from a stumbling block
– into a ladder we climb.

The Sweet Return A Quality and a State

The “sweet return” is not just a comeback—it is a return:
– Crowned with success,
– Enriched with wisdom,
– And filled with hope.

But it can only be realized when we reorder our priorities and understand that reassurance does not come from individual achievement alone, but from a collective sense of security.

So how can we feel at peace amid rising expectations and increasing demands for national and personal security?

As the verse says: _
– “So that my heart may be reassured.”_

Security and Dignity The Foundation of Collective Success

– “He who fed them against hunger and secured them from fear”

Is not just a verse—
it is a golden principle for building successful societies.

Success cannot thrive in an environment plagued by fear or overwhelmed by poverty.

Food security, social stability, and political safety are the nurturing grounds where aspirations grow and minds flourish.

When citizens feel safe, they become more creative and more willing to take responsibility for change.

*Conclusion:

Toward a Truly Sweet Return :

The sweet return
is not nostalgia for the past, but:
– A fresh launch toward a better future.
– A moment of collective awareness that success is not granted—it is seized with willpower and built upon the ruins of failure.

Let us become addicted to trying.

Let us read reality wisely.

Let us make every return a new beginning—not a repetition of what has passed.

So, are we ready to pass Edison’s test and heal from the addiction to failure?

New line. New chapter.
