Failure is just something in life that everyone is afraid of. Everyone that is the young and old. Failure is a part of everyone’s life at some point whether it’s in a sport, at school, or even just a part of daily life. Failure happens when something isn't successful or does not work out. Failure can also be said to be the result from actions that were not successful.
Every one of us has failed at something before, be it as simple as failing the class test, or as frustrating as failing to close a business deal and failure to achieve promotion, every one of us have experienced our own taste of failure. Since everyone has experienced failure before, I can accept a medicine as bitter as failure.
If I fall on my knees, I would get up, clean my wounds and learn from it. Failure is a thing that everyone can learn from. It’s better for failures to be used as lessons so that the failure will not be repeated again. The best thing for failure I would advice is acceptance. Not trying again is not an option. Surrendering is never a choice. Failure can be a blessing depending on how a person looks at it.
These few can be seen as the impacts of fear of failure. Failure makes the same goal appear more unattainable. I’ll also say that failure also makes you doubt your abilities and make you believe that you’re helpless. It makes you over think of your weakness, and underrates your strength.
Some of these things can help when one experiences failure in his or her actions. Improving and enhancing skill sets, planning ahead and always try to have a plan B, and also keeping good relationships are few of the many things that help us turn our weakness into strength. All things must be done properly. Hence, we strive to avoid and not to repeat the same mistakes we previously committed.
When I think about my past experiences of when I failed many scenarios come to mind. Yes we as human beings are bound to fail at one point or the other in life but its how you learn from them that makes it important. I came to have this understanding and consciousness that all my past failures have played a huge role in my life, either portrayed as a lesson or an eye opener.
One of my greatest failures in life that I've experienced and learned from would be from the time of my first year in the university. I didn’t take school seriously when I started. I felt it was going to be like high school. I attended lectures though I resumed late but I made sure to attend all classes but that did not make me studious.
Exams came, I wrote but when my results came out It was so bad and I cried a lot. I almost got depressed but like I said earlier I accepted it, braced up. I just accepted it because crying couldn’t help anything but it made matters worse.
I started by attending classes regularly, not only attending classes but I also paid attention to my lecturers. I began my journey of becoming a serious student. Drew my time table, and adhered to it strictly. I also started making friends with the serious ones and they helped me a lot.
The exams came and I wrote and was so happy when the results came out. I made good grades. This really helped me.
Lastly, I’ll say since failure is truly more common than success, one’s question for life should not be if you have problems, but how you are going to deal with these your problems. It is never too late to start again.
