Life : A Combination of Success and Failures and Failures are Key to Success!
Life is complicated. It has so much to it. Different types of poeple. Various kinds of personality. Multiple dimensions of human existence. A human being has physical, mental, spiritual, and emotionals sides. We see one or two of them and never get to know the underlying pains and disturbances.
Life's complicated but, contrary to the common belief, life is not a bitch. Life is a gift which enables us to chose our values and guide ourselves to greater destinations. It is a combination of success and failures.
Success in Life
Defining success itself is a difficult thing to do. But generally, achievements of our goals is thought to be success. Only till goals are achieved and the gap appears for new goals. The feeling of success after accomplishment of goals is weak or nearly absent. We start thinking about new targets too soon.
In actuality, success is doing meaningful things consistently in your life; things which bring you satisfaction. No number of worldly posessions or amount of money can bring you the feeling of success if what you do is meaningless to you.
The video below is a TED Talk by Robert Waldinger, who explains the secret to a good life and happiness.
Your life is full of success stories. There are dozens of important and significant things that you wanted to accomplish. You had a dream; a vision of what future would be like if your deepest desires were fulfilled. And many dreams came true.
Failure : Key to Success
Failure always brings a useful information; that this thing should not be done this particular way. It stresses the need to alter the strategy, change the process, think of a different way. It is said that Thomas Edison failed hundreds of times before becoming successful in creating a bulb. Even if he failed thirteen times, he knew thirteen ways which will lead to failure.
Watch the following TED Talk by Tim Gibson to see how failure actually is a form of success.
No great success in life is independent of failures. In fact, failure is the foundation of success. Talking about foundation, when a building is constructed, foundations are always hidden below the ground. They are not visible. The only thing visible is the shiny house that was built upon those foundations.
But can we negate or dismiss the importance of foundations in a building? No one will say yes to that. If success is a building, failures are its foundation. Think this way about all your setbacks, disappointments, and failures. Then see which success in life was actually powered by a dangerous looking failure that preceeded it. You will find the connection.
Conclusion
Life is full of success stories and failures. But both are interconnected. Success often, rather invariably, originates from failures. Lesson for us is to cherish our successes but also appreciate and accept our failure. Because...
Failures are the key to success.

I totally agree. Our setbacks and dustrubances make us stronger. Sometimes we realize it but often it happens unknowingly. Success indeed isa feeling, not a posession.
Excellent videos included. Very much related to the topic and highly inspiring.
Of course failures or disturbances make us stronger and more resilient. Failures really inspire us to get on the road to success and make us try harder to get things better the next time that opportunity comes next on our way.
I have a strong belief that we are all here for a reason and there are things to do best with them.
Thanks for your nice thoughts and appreciation as well @ilyastarar
Life teaches and those who never take action never fail so they never learn anything new. Success is a mindset. Reaching at the winning spot is based on series of actions. Failure is key to success if one learns from it. Here is something interesting for you:
Great post!
But our mistakes and failures are gifts, gems, guideposts in our learning and growth as people leading to success. So embrace failures happily because they not only make us uniquely who we are, but also teach us many powerful lessons and increase our capacity to have positive change in our life.
So when you face failure then re-examine your intentions, reconsider your commitments, and adjust your actions and see how success kisses your feet.
Thanks for sharing Károly Takács story. It's a good addition from your side @ugetfunded
I am a student of failure! I call Failure "My fondest teacher". When I was in sales many years ago, we used to say to people that won all the time, and never lost. "It's great to be happy when you win, but how will you react when you lose?" It's all about attitude and being happy when you win, but also being happy when you fail...IF you learned something from it.
Of course many of us have stories of successes and failures but if we face our failures happily and we don't lose our heart we keep on trying best then success definitely kisses our feet.
So we should be courageous and make our private struggles more strong to retreat the failures Then good luck would be ours.
Thanks for your nice addition bro keep on working hard @deadreckoning
There are things in life, we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Things we don't want to know , but we have to Learn, but people we can't to live without, but have to Let go!
Excellent Sharing brother @hamzayousaf.
Yes we have to accept all the things whether these are our failures but if we accept them happily we are the best achiever to catch our success very soon.
Thanks for you nice addition bro @irfanullah
Everyday we learn something new. The goal must be to keep working hard and smart, and as you said, to learn from our failures.
We can fully appreciate ourselves, even while acknowledging our screw ups. It is possible to laugh at our mistakes and then work hard to correct them.
Most of us have a long history of putting ourselves down when we blow it. But it’s a self-defeating habit we must break so that we can start appreciating ourselves, then work hard and definitely success would be ours. Thanks for comment @hmushtaq
When you fail, always keep fighting to the end. Succes will not come like magic. Succes is work, dedication and again work. Without mistakes we will not learn !!
Definitely you are saying right failure always leads to success. so face the failures happily and keep on working hard then success will be yours.
Thanks for sharing your views...@azen
