Failure, another name of success
Previous post on mistakes, gave me
turbulent feedback. I got stuck by a question asked by high school boy that if
mistakes are failure to judge (or decide) than what is failure? And why we fail?
Again, taken for granted phenomenon was in front of me. Searching for answer of
this question gave me bulk of literary material, written by various people across
the globe and I really failed to read all of them all ;)
Interesting thing I noted during
search is that these works deals with success or minimizing failures, of course
there are some exceptions who tried to analyses failures but these exceptional works
are not much liked by people, as no one in modern world loves failures and why we
don’t like failures or why we are so obsessed to success?
Achievements, is one of the value
which modern world strives for and people ‘achieving’ some position or material
resources are looked upon as ideal, we are directly or indirectly forced to
follow the path which is defined as ‘ideal’. Those who do not follow these path
or definitions of these ideals are looked upon as failure.
Failure is merely a divergence
from preplanned actions (or expectations). Failure is not always bad, rather it
provides alternative dimensions to work and think. It serves as indicator of
courage and strengthens our will power. Sometimes (rather many times), failures
are translated in form of discoveries and inventions. Here are some thoughts I want
to share with people who stigmatize failure as well as people who are afraid to
fail.
- Failure is nothing but undesired success.
- Failure is adds to experience, as many scientists said (& felt too)
- Every failure is your own; don’t blame others or situations
- Don’t be scared by responsibilities; accepting and correcting failures is attribute of strong.
- Failure gives hardships, it augment talent, use that talent to come up hardships
- Failure is fun, be innovative to turn failure into success.
- Don’t try avoiding failures, by doing so you might close down path of ‘another’ success.
- Never feel depressed or discouraged after failing; it’s a chance to do something different(ly)
- Failure makes us stronger, more courageous, wiser and more disciplined.
- Life is not only about acquisitions and achievements, as many scholars said
- Failure creates empathy towards others, it gives chance to understand some else’s problem too
- Leave ‘planning’ for government, military and business, planning everything is risky; we fail because we plan.
- Celebrate even failures, it’s more important to be happy than to be successful.
