Zenith / Nadir - How many have heard it before ??
“Reaching the “ZENITH” and Hitting the “NADIR”
The new phrase I came along recently, Though both the words are quite new to me, I thought of researching it a bit,and found something very interesting stuff, really sometimes reading English language may teach you lot of interesting stuff and new stuff.
Actually, The above phrase is use …... “to define a person who reaches to the top and falls to the bottom, in no time.”
‘Zenith’ is the word used for the highest point on the sphere, vertically above you and directly opposite to Nadir, whereas, ’Nadir’ is the word used for the lowest bottom point in the sphere, just opposite to Zenith.
The two words are used in our everyday life for discussing someone career or someone life. Nadir is used for Worst of something and Zenith is Best of Something. Both the word stands completely opposite to each other

To explain the phrase / words through an example, lets relate it to a sports man life.
"A sportsman when in prime form of his career reach to the peak that give them notable fame and recognition - so call it Zenith, as the man is on the peak of his career and getting everything more.
On the other hand, the day when he loses his form, and unable to perform as per the expectation, no one values him or even no one care about his name - so call him Nadir as he is not getting the fame and recognition."
The Real-Life Lesson:
Success, Fame and Recognition are hard to digest. The stature and the name that one earns due to some remarkable work, make the person bit arrogant. People need to stay calm as you never know when the tide turns against you and make everything upside down.
Keep yourself rooted to the bottom so that not to sway with the success wave
