I am a big failure Mahesh, I failed to understand my aim in life, I failed to choose right career, I failed to take right decisions, I failed to mature at right time.......I am a complete failure my brother..........and now it is too late to look behind. But I am happy that my children are far more clever then me and they are far from the word " FAILURE".

Sorry Apasara sis, again you are failed to estimate yourself do you know why your childrens are clever and far from the word of failure? it is just beacuse of you and your loving efforts which make them so clever and independent. it si just the education given by you which makes that so muach clever that they cannot se the glimpse of failure in their life. how could you underestimate your self, you are not at all failed but practicaly a very sucessful mother and a great sister too. God bless you and good luck.

This is one I would really have to think about! It is hard to say, because, as you know, it is not all over until the Opera Lady sings. Do you know that expression? Life is not over, not by a long shot, so in the final analysis, who knows? We can view things that did not turn out in the short term as as failure, or we can view them as opportunities to grow and learn. It is not what happens to us that determines our success or failure, but how we handle it. So where do we draw the line? When is it too late to turn "failure" into "success" and what do these terms even mean? Here are some examples: 1. I failed to stop smoking because I never smoked. 2. I failed to stop drinking because I never drank. 3. I failed to have children because I made sure to never have any. 4. I failed at one job but got a better one (several times). 5. I succeeded in love and business. 6. I succeeded in finding and keeping happiness. I fail in many small endeavors every day! This morning I failed to get the breakfast dishes washed before sitting down at the computer. They are still in the sink. No matter, I will get to them in a little while. I am unaware of any outstanding long term failures, at least for the moment.

I have made a few mistakes, but since I have learned from them all, I would say that none is a failure. I hope you are not feeling like you have failed anything Mahesh!

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. And there is no such thing as failure. We learn from every choice we make, even the wrong choices. So I would call it more troubled than failure. I have most of my troubles in the love area. I always find some way to mess my relationships up. From issues that I had with my first love. I'm scared to be hurt like that again so I do not let myself get too close in relationships since than.

I tend to believe you never fail in life. It is how you handle the situations in life as to your prospective on life. Not that everything I have done is a success, however it is a life's lesson and what you do with that lesson. Ainge

I definately failed at getting a good career or degree. I started college with the intention of becoming a fashion designer, but changed my mind after a year. By then, i wanted to study social sciences and become a psychologist...after a semester and failing too many classes, i decided to take a year off to think things through...i haven't gone back, and it's been 13 years..
