Failure is forever??

No I don't believe this is true. I believe failure leads to success. You learn why you failed and how to improve, and when you try again you'll succeed. I think successes last forever. If you've been successful, you never have to do that task again because it's done.

I do agree. This discussion reminds me of my 12 and a half year employment history at the comapany I am in now. I didn't walk in a manager..I walked in an electronics tech and was taking an assembly job until I found something better in this town I had just moved to. I have been discouraged, I have "failed", and I have went up and come down and then back up...it has been a roller coaster. I remember the vice president of the company..who primed me..unknown to me..for the position I have now, once told me that careers go up and down, but nothing has to be forever. I was young when I started and there was a lot to learn...lol Another thing that I have learned is that you can do a ton of good for a person..a ton..but one thing bad..and that's what they remember. The fear of failure is what keeps us on our toes..so it can be a good thing.

I think it is the opposite. Failure is only good until your next success.success is forever. Wow1 My guy will be happy to hear this! I must be Total recovered perfectionist! To a perfectionist and a pessimist Failure is forever. The old Sarah would not only remember each failure but take it as evidence that I didn't deserve to live. But I think for most of us, it is the littl;e successes we will remember.

You will never feel how to be successful when you will not experience failure. Success always partnered with failure. Failure is your motivation to succeed. Never give up when you fail. Never quit because failure is a part to become successful in whatever you do.

You should never hold on to failures. Learn from them, apply them to future endeavors and move on. Overcoming failure is a success... Success is forever. No one can take that away from you.

Failure is always there to remind us and that's not a bad thing because we are only humans. We commit mistakes, we stand up and learn from our mistakes. Sometimes we end up in failure because we choose the bad choice. That's life! everything we face in this world is full of choices. It's up to you what to choose. Just remember. Life isn't fair, it never was. Just continue to aim high and if all else fails. Don't give up and try again. Don't forget that an ordinary you has an extraordinary God to back you up. Just do your best and stop thinking about failure.. always think positively so that positive outcomes will come to you. Failure is just a second option in our life. Make that failure as your inspiration to do right thing next time.

We don't get this program on our tellys in India. Now onto your discussion- Yes that particular failure could be forever, unless sometimes one has an opportunity to right that fialure. But then there is that old cliche - Failures are stepping stones to success. So one must learn from the actions or lack of actions that lead to the failure and rectify them or not repeat them when the situation arises.

Failure is not forever. I learned how to drive and failed my practical driving test around 4 times. I moved to a different area and failed my practical driving test again. It was easy every time I had to pass my theory test. I did that many times. I tried to pass my practical driving test and got a lady examiner and told myself she was my friend and we were out for a drive together. That made me feel less nervous and amazing I passed my practical driving test. I believe in the saying "try and try again". It is true for me and I am so pleased I can now drive my car. A child at school should try again if he or she fails an exam. The second result is likely to be better.

If you learn from your failure, then it can't be considered a "forever failure" as it help you progress and evolve and not repeat it (in this way) in the future. I agree with it as long as you don't learn anything and you keep failing the same thing over and over again.

Failure is just part of the learning curve of life. So we fail? So what? But we must learn from the mistakes and when we reach success, we remember those we passed on the way up as we may be passing them again on the way down. No it isn't forever. Nothing is forever and this is why when success comes one must live simply still in order to have a cushion for the future. Blessings. your posts are always interesting. No time to comment more. Apologies.

I agree too in a way. Although I don't think, for example, failure in the "bigger" sense of the word is permanent/forever. I think we can fail at smaller tasks in life but not life in general. I don't know if that makes sense. lol. I don't think anyone can enlighten you; you are probably one of the few most enlightened people on MyLot!

I must disagree. Failure is not forever. I do admit that success isn't permanent, but failure isn't either. Even though people do fail more than they succeed, I don't think failure is forever. If failure was forever, one wouldn't continue to try because they'd always fail. How does success turn into failure if you just sit on it? If you succeed in something and benefit form it, it is not failure. Whoa. I think I confused myself there.

I somewhat agree with you.. Failure is always there to remind us and that's not a bad thing because we are only humans. We commit mistakes, we stand up and learn from our mistakes. Sometimes we end up failing because we chose the bad choice. That's life! Everything in this world is full of choices. It's up to you what,where,who to choose. Just remember. Life isn't fair, it never was. Just continue to aim high and if all else fails. Don't give up and try again. Don't forget that an ordinary you has an extraordinary God to back you up. Just do your best and stop thinking about failure. always think positively so that positive outcome will come to you. Failure is just a second option in our life. Make that failure as your inspiration to do the right thing next time.

Unfortunately one might be afraid to start something in the life as it might turn out to be a failure. Perhaps it could even mean wasting one's life if they deny some choices that could improve their life and it would not mean destroying one's life. Maybe there could be less failures if people would believe more in their future, success.

I do not agree, I think the memory of humans are short, they only remember the last memory of you. So if your last memory is success and continue to be successful they would remember you as a success. However if you fail, but you do not move out of the failure situation, then they would remember you as a failure. Once you move out of the being a failure, they would say you have strong character.
