Failures are the pillars of success


Man is destined to face challenges in life. Life is not a bed of roses. Obstacles and difficulties are bound to come in the way. All desire for success. However, everybody doesn't succeed in achieving his goals. Failures are a part of our lives. But one who keeps on striving is crowned with success, eventually.
Success is the result of hard work, firm determination and dedication. Sometimes, the attempt proves to be a failure. But failure is a natural phenomenon. It carries a treasure of invaluable experience. Success and failure are two facets of the same coin.
Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Failure teaches us a lot. It reveals our weakness that must be overcome. It informs us about the problem areas in our work. It guides and inspires us to put in more effort. It reveals the weakness of our planning. It gives us strength to act more decisively. We come to know about our limitations. It gives us a guideline for future course of action. Failure, thus prepares a person to go for the next endeavour with better chance of success.
A man who has not tasted failure doesn't know of success. He becomes too self assured and easy going. Most great men achieved success only after a long battle with failures. They learnt from their failures.
One who has met with failure needn't invest same amount of labor as invested in one's maiden attempt. He is merely required to analyze the ways he has adopted. Success without failure is seldom possible. Failure shouldn't stop us living life well. It is always possible to live your best life despite the odds and hardship. No matter one has lost his job, suffered a financial crises, faced a heart break-one should always believe that be can live his life best despite all this. This optimistic attitude will give him the courage to go ahead with life living well with all the hope and vigor. Living well is the revenge to the failure.
Fortunes favors the brave. And the brave is one who gets ahead, overcomes his failures and achieves his goal. We should keep our priorities before us, concentrate on them fully, do the consistent efforts and then we will see that every thing is falling on its right place.
The brave have the confidence to welcome challenges in life. Failures should not result in pessimism. Pessimism acts as a stumbling block in one' way to success. The pessimist sees difficulties in very opportunity. The optimist sees opportunities in every difficulty. Failures, thus, act as a ray of hope. In cases of failures, one should not be scared of the comments and criticism of the people.
The invention and discoveries are the result of hard work and sustained effort. All the inventors and discoveries met with failures on the way, but they never left their work in the midway. Life saving rugs are results of enormous efforts of such types.
Nothing great has ever been achieved without consistent effort in the face of seemingly insurmountable difficulties. The freedom struggles of India is a classic example of the heroic sacrifices made by the freedom fighters who neither cared for their lives, nor for their families. To them what mattered was freedom of the country. Every set back further strengthened their resolve. Ultimately the mighty British empire had to bow down and the Britishers had to leave India bag and baggage. The same can be said of Nelson Mandela who succeeded in freeing his nation despite facing a number of hurdles.
The youth of today is restless. They expect results immediately. Rome was not build in a day. Success is bound to follow once we start running towards our objective. One should not be depressed or dejected when one meets failure on the way.
Today, we can lead a comfortable life. We have numerous facilities and arrangements at our disposal. All these were not available in the past. They were invented and discovered. It was possible only through hard work and toil.
The Indian educational system need to be modified. The foundations of knowledge should be made strong. The youth should get career guidance. They should be made aware of the future challenges. They should be taught to accept each failure as a challenge. Today psychiatrists, career counselors help the youth to overcome their trauma.
Failure results when the preparation for a gold has not reached perfection. There is something lacking which requires timely attention. One can't enjoy one's success to the extreme unless one has tasted failure. Failure prepares the foundation for bigger things in life. Failure are thus the pillars of success.
