Have you ever failed or made a mistake? If yes then this is for you.
The fact that you failed only proof that you're not finished, failure is only a bridge not a barricade. Thomas Edison developed electric bulb 9999 times and failed 9999 times, when asked why he was persistent and kept on failing he said " I didn't fail 9999times, I only discovered 9999ways in which electric bulb can not be produced ". Failure may look like a fact but in reality it's nothing but an option.

It's not how far you fall but how high you bounce back is what determines how far you'll go. Failure is an opportunity to start over more intelligently. If you had tried to do something and failed, you are better off than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded; if you're not making mistakes, you're not risking enough.
Success consist getting up just one more time more than you fall down so get up and go on.
Remember "You don't drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there."

WAYS TO GET UP AFTER A FAILURE

• The best way to go on after a failure is to learn the lesson and forget the details. If you don't forget the details you'll become like a scalded dog that fears hot water and afterwards fear cold. Failure can drag you down or lift you up. 99% of success is built on former failure, always tell yourself you're not a failure.

• Associate with people who'll bring out the best in you because your best friends are those who bring out the best in you. A saying goes thus, "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are", the simple truth about life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate with either for good or bad. The less you associate with some people the more your life improves. It's better being alone than being in the wrong company, a single conversation with the right person can be more valuable than years of study. Steer clear of negative thinking experts, failures who are comfortable where they are and associate and surround yourself with the right kind of people who'll push you to achieve more.

• Stop complaining, the more you complain the less you obtain. Complainers attract other complainers while repelling positive people, when you complain you only explain your pain for no gain at all. Instead stand up, stand firm and get to work.

• Be persistent: persistent people begin there success where most people quit. The more diligently we work, the more hard it is to quit.
  Persistent is an habit so is quitting, never worry about how you're starting; just begin with a million dollar worth of determination. It's not what you have; it's what you do with what you have that makes all the difference.
  "By perseverance the snail 🐌 reached the ark"

• Don't look back on your failure, only learn the lessons it choose to give. There is no future in the past and if you look back too much, you'll soon be heading the same way you're coming from. Rosy thoughts about the future can't exist when your mind is full of the blues from the past. The past is always going to be the way it was so stop trying to change it, your future contains more happiness than any past you can remember.

Humbert Humphrey said: "The good old days were never that good; believe me. The good new days are today and better days are coming tomorrow. Our greatest songs are still unsung."

Remember, work hard and work well. Never complain, when life knocks you down get up and keep moving, see failure as an opportunity to develop and become a better you. Associate with like-minds and also seek for advice and guidance from people who know better than you do.
