Success is never ending and failure is never final

i had posted a discussion few days back that i am disappointed because of some failure and it was a real setback for me. I was feeling like lost and after one week I have such a good opportunity in hand which I never thought of, so Success and failure both are important in our life. They are 2 sides of coin, both does not show them self at the same time but eventually they will appear for sure, one by one. You cannot ignore failure or success. Failure also gives you some lesson to correct you and shape your future. Do not be afraid of failures, they occur to make you realize some lessons. I would say both are never final, you cannot be facing failures all the time and be successful on each front of life.

yes its true that failures are the stepping stone to success. everyone fails atleast once in their lifetime. in fact people who fail and fail frequently are better placed to meet the chanllenges of life. They are like steel ready to face life's battle one after another. People who seldom face failures are quick to give up and are mostly dependent on others for their survival....

in life, there is success and failures, ernkjha. can you tell me anyone who does not face failures in life. i have not come across anyone in that fortunate category. to me failure is success turn inside out. failure is the launching pad for future success. there will be mistakes make in life and this results in projects or work/ study/ family failures as we call them. however a person is not a failure as long as he picks himself up and move on and try and try again till he succeeds in what he wants.determination, patience, hard work and persistency counts. if the person fails and he still sits there and whine and does not get up to try again, then i consider him a failure. with failure, we do a postmortem, and we know what went wrong like wrong timing, wrong place, wrong decision and wrong action etc.maybe we were too rash and did not have enough facts or we were conned. or too trusting. we learn from these experiences ( the hard and rough bumps and humps, hard knocks, etc) though at times its costly and very painful too. we will succeed in the end and reap the fruits of success. try not to make too many mistakes so that we dont have too many regrets. learn the ropes and succeed with time, knowledge, understanding and have wisdom in what we embark to do. have the confidence to know and have the positive attitudes that we will succedd in what we set our hearts to do and we will do very well, the best we can.

its true and this is only life!

well there is a saying that'one cannot make anything if he has not lost anything' i think that answers the question. you are right that one cannot feel successful until and unless he has not lost anything in his life for achieving that goal. to go to the top one has to start from the bottom and bottom is always a failure.

hello ernkja. to make things last we have to work extremely hard. and in today's unpredictable world it's hard to say whether anything could ever last. it's not just today it seems because history has taught us too about the rise and fall of dynasties and kingdoms. irregardles of whether success succeeds failure or failure succeeds success, nothing really lasts.

I believe that all successful people had their own taste of failure in their quest for success and they keep on having failures along the way because failing does not mean you lose.

Welcome to mylot dear, i really like the title of this discussion, you are certainly right, it also reminds me of , 'failure is the pillar to sucess'; but certaily not always.. Thanks for sharing. Sorry for late response.. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof
