Lessons learned from failure

Great article.

We shouldn't fear failure, as it teaches us a lot of lessons. Failure is one step closer to success and if you haven't failed, you've never tried something new. People procrastinate because of it, but there really is no reason to be afraid of failure. Just look at Steve Jobs and The Beatles.

I think that most people fear failure because it some how decreases their "self worth" The truth really is that if you are moving forward and constantly doing new and worth while projects, you can't help but fail sometimes. We of course hopefully learn from our failures and become stronger and better people.

I feel like i have grown the most whilst facing some kind of adversity and failure. Although at the time, it was far from enjoyable, it's important to know that you can come out on the other side wiser, stronger and smarter.

Now, i am not scared of failure. I am scared of stagnation and i am scared of being ignorant or stubborn about my mistakes. Recognizing failure in small forms is how success is done. Frankly, im much more terrified about going through my life thinking that i am not failing, when actually i am. Because if you are doing wrong stuff, but think it's right, you have no idea that you are of course.

One thing that really resonated with me was when someone said that, failure gives you the opportunity to do something more useful with your life. Like, lets say you go along, doing some mediocre job all your life, never being stretched, never living to your potential. In my mind, that is a failure in itself. However, lets say you "fail" get fired, and you seriously change your life in every way, which then leads you to living a much more rich, rewarding and value adding life. That surely is a success. But without failure, you would have never had the catalyst that caused that.

Only when we fail can we be liberated from the past and make fresh starts.

My favorite quote about failure is - "You can only FAIL FORWARD...."

As long as you're alive, there are always lesson to learn.

And there two types of people:

WINNERS and LEARNERS!

Good article. The points described here helps so much to rise again. Many people get so much depressed with failure that they never try again. But everyone should know the fact that every successful people have faced failure before they succeeded.

I love this article. It is so funny how failure can cause a person to never even begin their journey into life. Of course, gambling all of your money away and not feeding your family because if it is horrible. However, when you have failed and harmed no one else, you will learn the most.

In fact, every person fails at one point or another. I am sure most of us have failed before. It might feel horrible at the moment, but there is no greater satisfaction than getting back into the game and finding success.
