Hi friends, i have seen people if they fail in their business or in some other thing they loose their interest in life itself. I believe failure is part of every real success because failing our way to success humbles us. Here we can take example of Thomas Edison, He had two thousand failed experiments trying to invent light bulb before his succeed. Your opinion on this subject, share with me...

Yeah many of them do so and think that it's their fate and leave it behind thinking that the failure is the end what they have seen they stop trying again leaving it behind. Really great If Edison could have not invented bulb on that day today where we could have been if he could have stopped by seeing his first failure......

hi jotomy yes what you are saying is really true. But so many times we cannot see that for ourselves until we do try again and finally do
succeed. Some people Thomas Edison believed so much in what they
are doing that to them failing is just part of finding the right way
to make something and eventually succeeding as they did not ever
give up.I have heard it said also that sometimes people give up
and think they are failures when if they had just gone ahead a few
'more times they would indeed succeed marvelously. I am now content
in whatever little I have achieved and am happy doing what I am
doing for now.

Hi Hatley, how are you? Yes, if he gave up he can't invent, his struggle and his efforts made him to invent a light bulb. He may be failure so many times but he didn't cared for his failures rather he became so strong in his believe and with the confident he did. Thanks for your sharing. Have a great day Hatley.

I totally agree...failure isn't something to look down upon but something you can learn & grow by. By failing at something, you attemp it again but at the same time, you know what not to do the next time.

Hi moonchild1au, yes failures are steps to learn and grow by. If any one fails should not feel bad or sad or depress, if they continue it with some more interest and with the perfect plan definitely they will success. Nice response, thanks. Have a wonderful day.

Hello Jotomy,
You have clearly struck a responsive chord with your stated opinion that failure is part of every real success! And I know that you are right, from my own personal experiences. Life can be a great teacher, if we are willing to learn. Having suffered a great setback, and extreme humiliation, I am now in one of the most interesting and stimulating times of my life as I constantly try new strategies to regain my former level of financial security and then surpass it. I am not quite there yet, but am confident that the best days of my life still lie ahead of me.
Every day the tabloids tell stories about movie stars and other celebrities who achieved early and easy success, then made a hash of it. However, they too can win out in the end if they learn from their failures.
May you and all the members of this discussion find the solid success that comes from trying hard and trying again!

HI Jotomy, i really think that failure is part of every real success for its the errors,obstucles that we experience gives us the drive to work harder at a particular task. I always try to encourage other never give up despite the failures god challenges us to see how we will cope so its just best to stay well grounded and determine despite failures.

I would say that failure is an illusion. All it means really is that we did not do it yet. If we persevere and learn from those times that we believe that we failed, success is only a matter of time. We can even be successful in learning that something that we are doing isn't goint to work at this time..

yes, Jotomy, he said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Failures are the stepping stones. I do follow this in my life. I will not get tired of my failures. I will just keep on putting my efforts as usual. failures do not affect my speed or interest.

Hi anna, it is true, we have to adopt and follow some of the good rules to make our life better. If we failed in our work we should not be depressed rather we have to think it is the path for better work. Definitely we will succeed if we keep our efforts in proper plan. All the best for your future plans. Have a wonderful day.

hello Jotomy,
You are right,failure must be taken as a challenge and not a downside of it.
It must be an inspiration to do much better and be a challenge to bring out the best in us.
Sometimes,failure is a great help to explore our capacity and capability of doing things we think we can not achieve.
We will never knew our limitations without experiencing failure/s in our life.
Some people may never knew how to accept it,or never accept failure in their lives becoz,they think of themselves as superior.
It is a matter of acceptance and facing reality and doing our very best to achieve success in our lives.
have a good day always

Totally agree with you on this one. Failure means that you have to get back on your feet again and don't give up. There are so many times in life that I have failed in something but I have learned that I will eventually become sucessful. I don't let people tell me their opinion because if I could look into their lives I'm sure they have failed at something.

I agree completely,i believe that we all fail for a reason.
we might not succeed at our next try, but someone else will be inspired by our failure and they will eventually succeed. i also believe that you will never learn from succeeding ,but you will always learn something from failing

Hi Jo,
It is a general view among people to accept the defeat and treat them as a failure. They are loosing the confidence to try some more times and simply cursing themselves about their bad fate. But all people are not like that, some are learning from their failures and make necessary corrections then keep on trying until to get success. In fact failures are the path to the success. People should change their attitude towards failure then success will be very easy for them.

It may be hard to believe, but i have found it to be true. How can you truly know if you have success unless you have encountered failure first. The greatest success seems to start as a failure. We turn these failures around and we can achieve success. You can't have one without the other somewhere along the line.

Yes, I very much agree with this. I think you can learn a lot from your failures, and you also need to be brave and take risks to be successful in life, which makes it much easier to fail than for those who never do anything with their lives. So as long as you learn something from each failure, I think it is completely okay to fail!

Hi,Jotamy,i agree with you.
Failure help us to find out our weaknesses and shortcomings, so that we can make our efforts to overcome them and improve our situation. Then we can get the ultimate success. Failure is not horrible, the real horrible thing is that one cannot get over the failure and stay in despair.

We should not be depressed with the failures occurs, we have plan in a correct way and proceed. Thanks for your responses. Have a nice day.
