Don’t worry to fail, but every time you fail, try harder the next time

Failure is soul breaking only if you think it so, but on the contrary, think Failure to be your greatest teacher. In fact, it is said, Failure teaches you more than Success. And without Failure there can never be Success. It is also imperative to understand that every time you fail, you are pushing your boundaries, trying those new set of parameters, exploring those options and opportunities which otherwise wouldn’t come up to light.

History is filled with people who had overcome every obstacle of failures and had conquered Success. But apparently if there be one thing that Universities, Schools and Colleges have left out of their curriculum, then it is the failure to teach students how to handle failure. For every time a student fails a test, the community views him with contempt, as if he has committed the biggest sin in life.

The Bible gives ways how to handle failure, “the righteous falls 7 times, but he riseth up again“. The meaning is, no matter how many times you fail, ensure that you use every outcome as a tool to better yourself.

Edison, the inventor was condemned by his Math teacher so much that one day she sent a note to his mom that read, “Tommy is too dumb to learn math”.

Edison’s mother sent a reply note that read, “Tommy is too intelligent to be handled by a dumb Math teacher”

Tommy, was self educated, and he became the man who brought light to America. On one of Edison’s pursuits to find the right filament for the light bulb, his assistant remarked once,”Sir, it is time for us to shut the project down, for now, we have tried a thousand different materials to fit in to the lamp and nothing worked”

To this, Edison replied, “Sure, you are right, but now we know, 1000 different materials that don’t work as filament” This is the attitude of a winner, an inventor and the man who lit America.

The more classic story should be of the Consumer products giant, the Alibaba group owner, Mr. Jack Ma.
