Failure - Why it intrigues me

“Failure is only an opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely” - Henry Ford Failure - the moment I read this word or any of us reads this word, the immediate picture our mind creates is that of heads dropped in shame, people curled up in a dark room, thinking that their life has ended. Truly, for them it has. As for those who see failure as an opportunity, their life has just begun.

In this article I have tried to list out few places that one must visit (or at least I must visit) to have a look at the wonders of nature. Although these places are few, and everyone has their opinions, but I do believe that among the finest of natural places, these sights somewhere find a place in my list. But as I said, I do have other places on my list, and that list being a long one; I have only mentioned some of them. Comment down below which places you think should be visited at least once. Note :- This isn’t any form of rating/countdown. The places have been mentioned in a random sequence. And the most common of places like Heritage sights, Wonders of the World etc. have not been mentioned. We are also not gonna talk about Haunted places.
