Failure is hard to accept, harder to deal with and hardest to bear, but it is also an unavoidable fact of life. And the ability to deal with failure describes how successful we are.
People loves to judge others, they enjoy making people feel bad about what they are trying to achieve. This is the reason why we some of us step back in our life, but we should keep in mind that we all have to get a little messed up, before we step ahead. We should learn from our mistakes, we have to grow up, to stand out for ourselves. We have to fail, not once but many times, before achieving our goals. We have read it in many books to not to lose hope when we fail. But here the most important question is this that how many of us actually believe on this? Failure is painful and it takes away all our courage, which we have at the starting point.
Normally when we fail, what we really do is, to deny the existence of courage at first place. We lie to ourselves and we believe that this was not meant for us. And that point where we stop fighting for what we want to achieve, we lose. This is real failure.
Often fear of failure is rooted in our fear of being judged and losing other’s respect and esteem. We really get influenced about the views of others about us. And if we give importance to their views, this will lower down our confidence and passion; reduce our ability to ultimate success. So, if you want to get out of this situation, you should start trying again as soon as possible as you know about your unsuccessful attempt. Thinking again and again and distressing our mind about failure could last in permanent failure. Once you’ve failed, put your past behind and start trying again.
Many famous people around the world who failed many of times in their life, but they didn’t lose hope and start trying again and again and it the end, they succeed. Here are some examples of famous failures.
Abraham Lincoln: President Lincoln failed many of times. He failed in his business and political career and faces serious loss and mental health issues throughout his life. But he fought against his rivals and become President of the United States at the age of 52 years old and achieved great success.
Arianna Huffington: Arianna, one of the most famous names in the online publication, was rejected by major 36 publishers when she tried to publish his second book. She later started Huffington Post.
Steve Jobs: Steve jobs made a number of huge mistakes in his life that ultimately led him to his success, including the one mistake of hiring someone who fired him from his own company. He launched multiple failed products.
Thomas Edison: Thomas Edison approximately failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. He famously stated,
“I have found 10,000 ways something won’t work. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.â€
Bill Gates: As an entrepreneur, his first company was a huge failure. However, he kept trying again and later founded “Microsoftâ€.
Failure is just like an obstacle that was placed into your way to test you that if you could tackle this problem and you really deserved to succeed, to get what the rest could not. Failure is just beginning of your success story, not the end.
