Failure Not an Option
The term 'failure', can be viewed differently by different people. Some, sees failure as lack of success or a stumbling block to success, they see it as a great fall. These set of people always finds it hard to persist or try again, they are just comfortable wallowing in self pity giving themselves false pretence not to try again. While the other category of people sees failure as a stepping stone to their greatness, they see it as an opportunity to learn. Thomas Edison said "I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work". These set of people persists until they are successful, they don't let the fear of failure to deter them from trying.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is "failure". When you make failure your deepest fear, you'll find it very difficult to try again. Failure can be seen in different aspect of life, it could be Academic failure, Business failure, Leadership failure etcetera. The fact that you fail today does not mean that you can't be successful tomorrow, this can only happen when "failure" is not seen as an option or a reason to relent. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up .
Colonel Harland Sanders founder of KFC had lost his dad when he was six, dropped out in his seventh grade, Fired from multiple jobs, ruined his legal career, was set back by the Great Depression, fires and World War II, yet still created one of the largest fast food chains in the world.
Walt Disney did not wake up to have the Disney empire. He experience several failures on the way but never gave up.
Many people give up at the verge of their success and this is so disheartening. Great men and women today failed in one way or the other but they made it through persistency, they never gave up. If Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln and the rest became successful through trials and error without considering failure as an option, so you can.
