How I love following your post, I can never skip because it's always educating...
You already hit the nail on the head,
Failure is like an attack that needs a massive defence. Just like you said, failure is not an end...
The bad thing about failure is, after failing it wants you to always bear his name "failure". You can't move on when you think you are a failure.....
The most interesting part is failure since birth... I love the spirit babies have, when they want something or wana go meet their parents, they don't mind the distance, they will keep crawling and also trying to walk, no matter how many times they fall, they do not stop until they meet the parents...
How do you view failure? Do you treat it as a worst or a treat it like a process?
I treat failure like a process, sometimes you might achieve something without failing at all and sometimes you fail multiple times before achieving something..
Now this is what people don't understand, sometimes your achievements without failure in the process does not mean you were too good but instead you were just too prepared and most times we get so confident That we are prepared not really knowing what's coming..
And when that thing come and you can't attend to it, you see it as if your life has ended...
I will illustrate with my past exams, I was reading past questions all through without using my text books, I was so prepared that I could attend any kinda questions as it relates to what I have seen in the past questions...
But to my surprise, the question set in the exam hall was the trial question in the text book that was so easy but I didn't heck it because I felt its too cheap, let me practice the hard ones...
That was how I failed, while everyone was happy, I was sad and I couldn't explain myself because the question was just like a bonus but I still didn't attempt it, why?
Failure teaches us a lot, though it might hurt sometimes but all we have to do is, check why we failed, what we did and what we didn't do...
Thanks
