If you think about it metaphorically, where standing represents the effort, and falling down represents failure, it all makes perfect sense. You have to try before you can fail. So try one, fail one… try again… fail again. The try always comes first… and in this case, also last So rise 8: fall 7.It seems to the starting point, where you do nothing should be zero not one.
If standing there doing nothing is one count, then the sequence should go
1. stand still
2. fall down
3. get up
4. stand still do nothing
5. fall down
6. get up
The proverb seems to count only two actions. falling down and then getting up. If there are three positions (stand still is not action to me). then the 7 and 8 don't make sense to me.
Amazing the things we spend on time and effort on. All on friendly discourse of course. LOL
IT DOESN'T MATTER. No matter how many times you get knocked down, just keep getting up. That's the point of the saying. Of course, if you keep getting knocked down time and time again you may want to re-evaluate your strategy.1. fall
2. up
3. fall
4. up
5. fall
6. up
7. fall
8. up
Numbers work fall #7 get up #8. But it actually is only fall down 4 times.
