Failure is the key to success

If we like the most of people, we generally have a bad and intense relationship with failure. We can see it as an ending, as proof that our plan did not succeed or our ideas were not good enough. The truth is, failure happens to everyone. The only thing that separates people who succeed from those who do not is a proper understanding of the power of failure. Success requires that we learn from mistakes, missteps and also with misunderstanding along the way rather than falling into despair and giving up

1. Failure is a Function of Trying

The best way to measure your progress at something is the number of setbacks and “failures” you’ve had. If you haven’t failed yet, chances are you aren’t trying very hard. Failure is the blacksmith’s hammer that tempers the sword of success. If you want to get really good at something, you have to fail at least a few times.

If you look at all the great men and women throughout history, you’ll notice that they had one main thing in common. They failed, and they failed often. Think of Thomas Edison. How many times did he fail to find the right filament for his light bulb? There are various estimates, but they all range in the ballpark of a whole heck of a lot. Henry Ford knew of failure intimately. So much so that he is quoted for saying the following: “Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.”

2. Success Lies in Seeing Failure as a Tool

Just as all the greats have something in common, so too do the true “failures” of life: their inability to use failure as a tool. When you feel that sinking, desperate sensation known as failure and you take it to heart, you diminish yourself. You give your power away to an external event. Success is about learning how to recognize why you failed, and how you’re going to compensate for it.

I find it helpful to ask myself the following questions upon failures, big and small.

  • What brought about the failure?
  • How much of it is in my realm of influence?
  • How can I use my influence to turn failure into success?
  • What steps do I need to go through to try again?
  • What can I do every day to ensure that my next try is done more intelligently?

You may want to get out a piece of paper and go through that list. Be completely open and honest as you ask yourself each question. Analyze your answers carefully and implement them — don’t procrastinate! Remember, failure is an opportunity, not a burden. Be grateful for a chance to grow.

3. FAILURE BUILDS CHARACTER

If we look at the event leading up to any significant victory, we will often discover failure as the biggest motivator, and can bring most success full movement in life. Success can also come in with small chunks, event. These all are part of our winning strategy which bring happiness in our life. From these achievement can be transformed our life in a very true way. On the other hand, waiting while for something to happen is not effective when we can take action now.

So finally we can observer FAILURE is not a last destination of our life. It’s just a step to getting a success or being a successful person in life. But we have to do hard work, have to analyses why we getting fail in this platform. Keep positively motivated on our and doing smartly hard work in our interested area. It’s the only key to getting success.

“Success is most often achieved by those who Don’t know that failure is inevitable”
