Success and Failure
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again,
this time more intelligently.
– Henry Ford
What is Success?
- Is it achieving the highest college degree (doctorate)?
- Become a President or achieve any higher posts in any organization?
- Earn lots of money?
- Is it one time achievement?
Each person has their own definition of what success means to them. It doesn’t stop at achieving their first set goal. It changes over time and a new goal is set and the one work towards achieving it.
Failures are the stepping stone for success:
Read the life histories of the successful people to understand their journey, which will give the necessary pointers, which can be very helpful during the times are tough.
Some of the great achievers you can explore are Walt Disney, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Michael Jordan, Jack Ma, Albert Einstein, J.K. Rowling, etc.
Success is a journey and failures are the obstacles on the way.
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”
– Thomas A Edison
When the times are tough, you need to keep saying to yourself, may be you are just one more step away to see the glory to overcome the hurdle. Instead of sinking, explore the possibilities to handle.
You cannot achieve success or failure if you didn’t even take action at the first place.
Inaction = No Success and/or No Failure.
“Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.
Full effort is full victory.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
