NEW DELHI: There is no success without failure and perseverance always pays was the message from boxing great M C Mary Kom and Paralympic stars Avani Lekhara and Suhas Yathiraj when they offered stress-management tips to school students as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Pariksha pe Charcha’ initiative.
The three athletes also gave advice on overcoming failure, staying focused, and embracing challenges during the special session conducted annually since 2018 for students preparing for board examinations.
“They say failure is the opposite of success. But I think failure is the biggest part of success. No success comes without failure,” said two-time Paralympic champion in shooting Lekhara, who was paralysed from waist down after suffering a car accident as a child. PTI
