Remember: FAILURE is the BEST THING to ever happen to you

Failure pushes you to do the following:

1) Stop being in denial and look reality in the eye

2) Figure out what went wrong

3) Figure out what went right

4) Pay attention to timing

5) Realize character shortcomings you may have

Once you have done these, you will succeed.

That's how life works.

Failure is just a LEARNING OPPORTUNITY.

It is a signal for you to STEP UP instead of being lazy or blaming others.

Unless you get this, the learning opportunities keep coming.

This is why FAILURE is the best thing that ever happened to people.

Accept it.

Use it.

Profit from it.

    fail small ..and fail in ways that don't kill majorly harm you or any one else ..

    you don't want your doctor to fail during an operation or give you the wrong medical treatment..

    there are many places failure is not tolerable and should not happen..

    but there is a range of things as you start or build a buisiness and develop new skills ..that involve testing and trying new thing that have an amount of failure built in ..

    on sunday many football games will be played .. 1 team in each will win the other will lose ..not all passes will be completed ..not all feild goals will be made( the nfl changed the rule so more would be missed )

    basically you go to chool and spend a lot of money to be able to do work where you get paid a lot not to make mistakes ..or you pay a lot when you make mistakes .

    but great success is built on makeing many small mistakes failing in small ways .or ways that don't kill you..and riding those few big winners .

      I was talking about your own personal failures

      Sadly, people instinctively run away from failure that they miss the opportunity.

      Failures, big or small, are blessings.

      People struggling will have a tough time with this statement.

      Once they no longer struggle and accept it, success will be more likely.

      It's the struggle that prevents failures from delivering their benefits

        Absolutely. Well said : )

        Also, every adversity, every failure, and every heartache builds character. You can't put a price on that.

    i know quite a bit about personal faillure after spending the last few years cleaning up the debris of my life that fell apart..and rebuilding my health and pretty much every area of my life ..

    you can only learn from failure and find the opprtunity in it..when you realize and accept there are things you did to contribute..and there are things you can f=do to prevent it from happening again ..

    now ..struggle is part of everything it is the struggle against taking responsibility that cut out most of the benifits..

    as long as you feel like the helples victim and that you had not fault in the failure ..you will not learn anything ..

    Failure can be your best friend if you are working with computers.

    Eliminate the possibilities. Don't think DO. Gets things done. When You hum and haw all day. Nothing happens.
