Well, let me interpret this illustration without considering the thread title. To me it looks like this man has lost all hopes, is too tired even to literally walk, who faced a big failure, which has made him lose all faith. To me he looks utterly woebegone and distressed.

That's an apt interpretation. That's what i intended.

Thank you. I love these kinds of thread..I think all of us do..interpreting illustrations...but not able to add any illustration though!

This post and your illustration reminded me of the story of King Bruce. It is indeed a valuable lesson, the more number of times you fail, you are only learning more and more valuable lessons on the path to winning and success because you keep learning what not to do and ultimately find the correct way.

Absolutely . After seeing the spider's endeavors to weave the web despite failures, the exiled king Bruce goes back and wins back his kingdom. What an inspiring story!! If one wants to learn every spec in the nature teaches . Even the tiny creatures like ants, bees and spiders have many things to teach us. Only thing is one has tohave the will to learn.

Very true...the source of inspiration could be anything, from a tiny insect like a spider or a ant. The crux is that, you have to be able to see it. From Maharana Pratap, his wife was his biggest inspiration. Defeated, tired and exhausted, broken in mind and spirit, having lost most of his near and dear ones, he was hiding in the forest with his family and a few of his trusted men. He was so broken that he wanted to give up everything and commit suicide. It was then that his wife had plenty to speak, she opened his eyes and revived his spirit of vengeance and patriotism. That was how he could fight for almost 25 years with his enemies.
