Failure as Part and Percel of Success

D.W.Kadete.

How many times you could plan and try without fruition? It's normal to try to do something and find yourself failing to produce the desired outcome. Treat your career as a series of experiments where failures make you learn and improve.

Failure


“Every failure is a step to success. Every detection of what is false directs us towards what is true: every trial exhausts some tempting form of error. Not only so; but scarcely any attempt is entirely a failure; scarcely any theory, the result of steady thought, is altogether false; no tempting form of Error is without some latent charm derived from Truth.” William Whewell (May 24, 1794 – March 6, 1866) was An English polymath, scientist, Anglican priest, philosopher, theologian, and historian of science.



Being successful takes a lot, from one trial to the next trial at a time, step by step at a time. Doing something that requires fruition, takes a spirit of keeping going despite the difficulties along the way.

Handle Failure with Positivity. See good things that come with Failing.

  • Failure is an opportunity to try again doing it even better.
  • Failure is an opportunity to discover your weaknesses and make some improvements.
  •  Failure is a chance to make imperfections perfect.
  •  Failure is an opportunity to reassess the tactics and come up with better ones.
  • Failure is a lesson and a teacher that shows you where you got wrong.


The best comes after many failed trials.

Most successful people have a secret behind success, that's a spirit of not quitting.

When oceans are turbulent, they keep pushing tirelessly knowing that the situation is temporary. Failure is simply the opposite of success, a notion that sets the stage for the role of failure and its interpretation throughout one’s life. This is particularly true for physicians and scientists, who, as supremely skilled overachievers, strive to succeed and implicitly strive to avoid failure with each challenge. 

"If you don't try at anything, you can't fail...it takes backbone to lead the life you want". Richard Yates (February 3, 1926 – November 7, 1992), an American fiction writer identified with the mid-century "Age of Anxiety".

Nothing but perfection will suffice, as failure renders our professional efforts, view of accomplishment, and sense of ourselves imperfect. We stop waiting for the right moment to launch another trial with hope and a winning mentality.

Failure is a fear of success if you allow it will control you and drain your energy. "A person's activities and social affective failure is the strength that transforms the unhappiness into happiness." A winning mentality and a long struggle normally pay off.

Lastly perseverance, persistence, humility, and knowing that, still there's a chance and an appropriate time for making amendments and adjustments for a perfect successful attempt it's all that turn Failure into Success.
