Tired of Trying (By. Sanju paul)



Tired of trying
Try again
Energize your brain
Ready with double with
Will make it
Make it happen
Failure turns to success
“while the sun shines, make all the hay”



Paraphrase
The poem “tired of trying” by sanju paul tells us about something that we need to do when we get tired of trying to reach anything that we want. We have to struggle more and never give up trying to reach it, until it come true and sadness of failure will turn into happiness of success.
Comment
The poem teaches us how to face failure. As we know in Indonesian proverb “failure is delayed success”. So we must not give up in everything that we try to get. If we face any failure, it means it means we have to try again and gain more in everything we need to get success. Take for example: when we failed in the exam, we have to study more and more, until we get a good grade. Success is not easy, we need time, thinking, energy, patience, spirit, effort, struggling, and any other sacrifice to reach what we want/success.
The first line, the author just wants to introduce the case written in this poem to the reader that is failure.
The second line “Try again” tells us to never give up when we face any failure.
The third until sixth line tells us how to solve failure that we face. We need to add more energy, spirit, effort, etc. “Gain energy”, “Energize your brain”, “Ready with double with”. As I told before that success is not easy and need some sacrifice. In this poem the author writes the word “again” in several time, actually it is to emphasize that we must not give up and never stop trying and struggling.
The seventh until the end tells us about what will we reach after we face failure and try to get it in several times. Sadness, pain, weariness of failure will be paid immediately by happiness of success, especially represented in 19th line “failure turns success” and it is poured into proverb “while the sun shines, make all the hay”. Take a look at the grass on field; it will turn wilt if the sun shines in quite long time. It is just same with us after running far away, reach the destination and drink a glass of water, our thirstiness will disappear immediately.
Actually if we take a look back on this poem, it is quite interesting. This poem is like a journey in every line; journey to get success. At the beginning part introduces us about weariness of trying success. On the middle part tells how to solve it or how to face any failure well, and at the last part tells about everything that we dream will come true after we try it hard and face some failure.
