What is Failure? ... The most Undesired but very much Required.

Ever heard people saying this:

"I don't a want to get failed at something or labeled as failure at something so that's why I don't want to try things which I don't feel, as per my expertise, will give me success."

OR

"So many times I tried, so many things I did but of no use I failed in so many times even I can't remember. I feel now that I can't be successful in anything."

Call it whatever like: Fear of Failure or depression after failures. 

READ THIS:
Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. Disney also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old and didn't read until he was seven. His teacher described him as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams." This was the person who went on to give world the theory of relativity, went on to win the Nobel prize in physics.

J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter novels was waitress...The book was rejected by a dozen publishers. The only reason it got published at all was because the CEO's eight year old daughter begged him to publish it.

Thomas Edison's teacher said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. 

Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded.

These are the live walking examples who have lived in between us so let's see what they felt about their failure or rounds of failures:

Henry Ford knew of failure so much so that he  quoted “Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.”


Einstein said "its not that I am so smart;it's just that I stay with problems longer" and "A person who never made mistakes never tried anything new."

When a reporter asked Thomas Edison, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.

Did you notice what they said in what they experienced, they sticked on to their belief and goal to a much longer than what we do most of the times: we GIVE UP.

Either in the beginning or in the midst of the journey even some people don't even take the journey for the fear of failure.

To understand FAILURE better we have to understand it that what it really is:

a: Failure is part and parcel of the journey you take, it automatically says that you have started the journey. As if there is no trying, no journey, no pain hence no gain. In the words of . Think about it, we all long for an adventurous life, a life in which we should feel happiness, feel thrilled and get goose bumps; this is the reason why the adventure sports give us so much adrenaline rush or wherever we see people on TV or in movies we feel the same joy and the blood rush and lips stretch for a smile and heart beats surge and at that point in time we want to do the same to feel that again but for ourselves.
But What we do and the same result we get.

b: Without Failure the path of success will be a stupid one and without failure there will be no meaning of success.
Think this my brother wanted to build a company, he did it
my cousin wanted to win Olympic gold, he did it
my friend wanted to win soccer world cup as a team captain, he did it.
Everyone is getting successful like its just that tad easy, then who gives a damn which is easy.

c: Without Failure we will be having a lack of devotion, innovation, nobility, generosity, virtue, passion, hope and above all there shall be no real character of courage and resistance to reaction due  to frustration.

Watch closely: Had there been not that amount of failure in the life of Abraham Lincoln then the world wouldn't have seen that kind of leader who was, when he was in his last frame of seconds, his Secretary of War said "there lies the most perfect ruler of men that the world has ever seen."
This was the person who in his early days was a person who just not only criticised but also write letters and poems ridiculing people. He learned the hard way the richness of failures:

Failed in business at age 21.
Was defeated in a legislative race at age 22.
Failed again in business at age 24.
Overcame the death of his sweetheart at age 26.
Had a nervous breakdown at age 27.
Lost a congressional race at age 34.
Lost a congressional race at age 36.
Lost a senatorial race at age 45.
Failed in an effort to become vice-president at age 47.
Lost a senatorial race at age 47.
Was elected PRESIDENT of the United States at age 52

All these failures breaded in him Devotion and Hope for his goal, infused in him Nobility and Generosity and above all gave him a character whose courage was high as hill and seldom reacted from frustration.

Think Again Now The real Reasons of Failures....
