Greetings dear friends and happy Sunday to you all.
Failure-What does failure mean to you? What do you do when you fail? What advice would you give to someone who has failed?
WHAT FAILURE MEANS TO ME
To me, I will say that we all have failed in one way or the other. Which means that failure is part of life. We all have our own different ways of defining what failure means. Failure is when we do not accomplish a goal after putting in effort and time to see a positive outcome or result.
What do you do when you fail?
When I fail as a person, I simply console myself and learn from my mistakes and try to make adjustments. Similarly, when others encounter failure, it is vital to find out what led to that negative outcome and make an amendment from the initial approach .
What advice would you give to someone who has failed?
Some individuals, when they fail, feel that is the end of the road for that particular thing and refuse to learn from the mistake and try again. The following ways to tackle failure include:
It is good for us to know that failure is inevitable and it is another way of learning. Also, it is through mistakes that we gain knowledge to perfect what will have failed at. There should be no room to beat ourselves up over our failure rather we should be courageous and kind to ourselves.
It is pertinent for us to examine the goals and see if it is achievable and not unrealistic. Try to make an amendment, look for the right approach to use to arrive at our expectations.
Experience is the best teacher we often hear. It is good to reach out to family and friends, colleagues and mentors who have gained external knowledge on what went wrong and ways to improve.
Lastly, not giving up is very important. Instead of giving up on your failure, use it as a means of motivation. Failure is an opportunity for self growth, development and higher height.
