The Success Factor/Failure Affliction

Success and Failure, two things that goes hand in hand, the two sides of the same coin, a frenemy. You can’t know one without knowing the other. We can’t appreciate one without the other. You can never appreciate the sweetness of success without tasting the bitterness of failure.

Both part and parcel of life. We can’t go through life without running into them, without experiencing them. Let’s face it, we aren’t always lucky to meet success at every time, and there’s surely going to be a moment  where failure is going to give way to success.

We are so wrapped up in our singular vision of succeeding that we forget about failure. We so want to succeed that failure is not an option. We so forget to prepare ourselves just in case we don’t succeed.

Success and Failure are part parcel of our lives. They go hand in hand, often complimenting each other, creating a new appreciation for each other. We cannot know one without the knowing the other. But each of them, in their own way, teach us, help us to learn and grow. 

Sometimes we may have to face thousands of failures before meeting success. Sometimes we may succeed in the first go itself. The goal here is not let failure get us down, or let success get to our head. You don’t have to wallow in it or gloat about it. Learn from it and move on. Learn from it and improve and grow.

Don’t let failure get you down. Either it was not meant to be or there’s a better thing out there or a better way to get to where you want go. It’s not the be all and end all. Don’t loose hope. Dust yourself off and get up. There’s always hope for the hopeless, so don’t loose faith.

So hold your head up high and be proud that you had the courage to undertake a quest that others would have quiver to undertake. If you succeed, pat your self on the back and move on to the next milestone. If you should fail, don’t loose faith, see what went wrong, learn from it and try again, till you succeed.

So in the end if you should chance to run into anyone of them, don’t be afraid of them, or shun one for the other, or snub one for the other. Don’t treat one your enemy and the other a friend. They are both equally important, they are both equally essential, both friends and teachers. So embrace both as you would embrace life. Cause that’s the way life was meant to be.
