What?
Are you stupid?
You out of your god-given mind?
That’s right. Failure is not an option. Winning is. But, why do you say it’s a requirement?
These are some of the reactions I got when I said this statement to some of the people you know. Maybe you had a similar reaction. But, failure truly is a requirement. If you want to be a success in life, you should be willing to fail. The opposite of success is not failure, it’s quitting.
All along school, we are punished for making mistakes. It is taught to us that failure is bad. We should always succeed. But, most people forget that the best way to learn something is by failing at it. For example, learning to walk – a kid falls numerous amounts of time before he falls down. A boy will fall many times off his bicycle before he learns how to ride it. All success is based on failure.
Thomas Alva Edison failed over a 1000 times before he perfected the incandescant light bulb. If he had quitted after a first few tries, we might not have a light bulb today. A person only fails when he or she decides to quit. But, as long as one is persistently working towards their goal, they are not failures. They just haven’t found success yet.
So go ahead and fail. Learn from every failure. Apply the lesson to get one step close to your success. After enough failure, you will get so close to success, that you will be able to smell it. Then fail one more time, learn one more lesson and there is it. Success is all yours. I did it. You can too.
Hope this helped. Looking forward to reading your comments.
Respectfully,
Mayur
