“Don’t fear failure so much that you
refuse to try new things. The saddest
summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have and should
have.” – Louis E. Boone
Everyone wants to achieve success and
nobody appreciates failures. In fact, failure is part of our lives as it
teaches many lessons. The people who face failures are more empathetic towards
others, and are more mature and cautious in their endeavors. They often think
in a number of ways to come out of their challenges successfully unlike others
who achieve success regularly. In contrast, the people who did not face any
failures rarely empathize with others as they take everything for granted.
God is great as He balances everything,
and He mostly gives both successes and failures so that people lead balanced
lives and stay level headed. Some people learn lessons from failures and become
more mature, and make sure that they don’t repeat their mistakes. They design their future strategies based on their
past experience to achieve success in future. However, there are people who
don’t learn any lessons and make the same mistakes and fail repeatedly. Also some people get depressed with their
failures and don’t try at all. The
people those who face failures must learn that neither the failure nor the
success is permanent. God creates peaks and valleys to human beings to balance their
lives so that they understand the meaning of life.
There are a few people who have the
ability to bounce back from failures and rise like Phoenix because they don’t
take failures personally. They motivate
themselves as and when they fail, find out the reasons for failures to ensure
that the mistakes are not repeated in future. They also take responsibility for
their failures without blaming others and move forward. Such people have the
better chances of reaching to the top. There
are a number of scientists including Edison; a number of politicians including
Abraham Lincoln and George Washington; and a number of entrepreneurs including Colonel
Sanders who achieved big finally because of their resilience and tenacity. Hence, don’t get dejected when faced with
failures. Learn lessons and move forward
with optimism and confidence to touch your tipping point.
"Toughness gives you the
resilience to keep pressing on, even if your determination and optimism are
lagging." -- Denis Waitley
