Failure...painful yet necessary.

Failure

It is hard. It makes us miserable. Most of the time, we remain so discouraged that we don’t have the desire to try again. What we probably don’t know is that failure is necessary for sweet success to be realized. failure awakens us, makes us look back and closely trace the steps we took, and how we took them in attempt to come up with a solution, or better off “the” solution. Success rarely makes do so. Success on the other hand almost always makes us believe we did everything right, and so many of us do not go back and learn on the retro-moves.

When looked through a completely different viewpoint, failure can prove to be a correctional tool for it is the mirror that reflects our past moves and compels us make revisions and corrections. In fact, it is arguable that failure is more of an asset than a liability. Upon failure, mourn if you can, then get up pick up your morsels and scrutinize all that went wrong and come up with feasible solutions to each of them. And when you are ready to move on, integrate all those solutions effectively into your work and keep watchful not to let any of those past mistakes be repeated. The less mistakes we repeat the more chances we have of doing things right. The more you do things right, the more we get lucky and successful. Just remember, don’t bury failure—unearth it because in it is so many answers critical for future endeavors.
