Another Way of Thinking Failure
In one way of thinking,failure is part of life.In another way,failure may be a way towards success.The “spider-story” is often told.Robert Bruce,leader of the Scots in the 13th century,was hiding in a cave from the English.He watched a spider spinning a web.The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock.He tried six times and six times he failed.On the seventh time he made it and went on to defeat the English… Edison,the inventor of light bulb made hundreds of models before he found the light way to make one.Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make new types of battery,when he had failed so often.He replied,“Failure?I have no failure.Now I know 50000 ways that it won’t work.”
So what?First,always think about your failure.What caused it?Were conditions right?Were you in top for yourself?What can you change so things will go right next time?
Second,is the goal you’re to reach the right one?Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be.Thinking about this question,“If you do succeed in this,where will it get me?” this may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be
doing anyway.
The third things to bear in mind about failure is that it’s part of life.Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed.Remember,“You can’t win them all.”
