"Failure"

Our minds have been programmed in such a way that whenever we hear the word failure we believe it to be a negativity or bad omen.

it's true that failure causes pain, disappointment and low self- esteem, but is failure really that bad? Can we re-think about it in a positive way? Winston Churchill stated......

"Suceess is based on going from failure to failure without losing eagerness" 

story  

Thomas Edison was a well known inventor. When he announced that he was working on an improved version of the electric light bulb by using a new filament material, people were excited and hopeful. However, after months of effort he had failed to produce the long awaited bulb.

A young presenter, as the story goes, came to interview Edison. He asked Edison,"how does it feel to have failed 1000 times in your efforts to find a new filament?" 

Edison swiftly replied "young man, I have indeed not failed 1000 times. I have discovered 1000 substances that will not work". The rest as is said was history, and Edison did indeed find success.

Bill Cosby once said. ......

"The desire to succeed, must be greater than the fear of  failure".

The first importance of failure is Experience. Failure teach you what will not work and help you discover what will make u succeed. Our first teacher in life is failure

You never know what waits beyond failure, therefore try again.
