Would you throw in the towel after many failure?

Hi, When things go wrong, and I mean everything, I often tell myself: the worst is still to come so I have to prepare for it. Then all of a sudden it is all over. One lesson I learned from such experience is that going through difficult times can be daunting but when I expect the worst, all the things I am going through seem trivial compared to what I am envisioning in the future. One reason, I'm still standing in spite of the beating I got in the center, still throwing away punches to beat the enemy that kept on taunting me to surrender and throw in the towel, so to speak. I may have a stubborn streak, too dense to sense failure or too foolish to see the sneers of the bystanders for my seemingly useless struggles. But in the end, when the smoke clears up, it is I who always laugh last and longest while the losers stare open-mouthed, unbelieving at my achievements.

Don't throw in the white flag. Just retreat and plan a new. It would best help having a back-up plan B, C and even up to D. Always remember that no person ever succeeded by means of throwing in the towel. Colonel Sanders, sell his products to restaurants and got a thousand rejections before succeeding. To inspire yourself, go and read the experiences of people who succeeded after the age of 40. They sure have lots to tell about failing big time repeatedly before even winning. Borrowing the words of Lance Armstrong.. "Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever." I think you know the answer when you said that you are afraid to try new things on your own. If that is the case, then get out of your comfort zone and be more daring. You are not a failure. You only become one if you quit so it's all in your hands. I failed more than i can count. I survived because i faced it chin up because i am miles better than those who never tried at all because they are afraid to lose and a world apart to those who surrendered. Just keep on going Kingparker. Go for another direction if you must but never follow the path where quitters go. You are better than them.

I guess I don't look at the times that I have not achieved what I wanted as failures. They're more like adventures needed to finally one day succeed. I guess it's disputed that Thomas Edison ever said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." But even if he didn't, he had that attitude. I always strive for that same attitude.

One thing I learned a long time ago, if you give up on yourself or your dreams you will never know if it were ever possible. I get feeling stressed and feeling loss. I know all about defeat. I have been defeated many times. And even though I have never fulfilled my dreams, I still keep on going. We all need something to look forward to. We all need something to strive for. Take some time for yourself, reset yourself and and then try again. Don't ever give up. Because it could be that last try that makes it work.

I won't through the towel even if I made many mistakes, it is all experience under your belt,looking at it positively. Yes it is can be a big downer but we are all learning and we usually don't do the same mistakes twice " don't we". Changing the bad pattern that we used that brought us to failure will help to make our lives work better and win the battle

I always try to think positive but lately i have bbeen more pessimistic more than anything else. Sigh..but u gotta remember when one door close another opens. Dont give up. Maybe all these disappointments are for reason. Maybe u fail because its not the right thing for you to do and eventually you'll get to that something that will make you happy whether it be relationship wise or work. Goodluck!!

The first thing is, you should NEVER put yourself down. Unless you are not moving anymore then guess what you still have a way to go. When in doubt, sometimes it is best to start at step #1.

Hello kingparker, Things may turn upside down. But there is time when it has to regain its shape. It takes time. But there is always a way for those who have a heartful of desire. I believe that when I face trials and failures, I say to myself that this situation is not permanent and it goes off and everything in this life is temporary. So we will move on but the path we move might be hard but soon we will reach a great place. If you have a strong desire on your heart that you will go on even you face failures, you just move ahead otherwise there are a lot of ways in this big world. Even a beggar lives and earns in this world. Why not you and me? Cheers,,.. Have a nice day always.

Is it any chance to succeed for what you have done? Like already done by others, you ever seen that its already done by others. Hope this quote would help you. "Not because something are easy to do so that we become optimistic. But more because we have optimistic, all will look easy to do." Just carry on. There are much people in out there who get more desperate then you. So why you to stop?

Having a bad day really would make you down and feel hopeless. Getting disappointed on things you do would only bring negative thoughts and probably lead to depression. Keep your chin up, even if you failed many times, the important thing is you learned something, you tried and never gave up.

Whenever I face defeat or failure, I stand up again, and again and again... and attack my problem in different ways, every time. My favorite quotes in failure comes from Thomas Edison, the famous inventor of electric bulb. This is what he says about failure - "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Don't throw in the towel, use them to wipe more sweat. Attack your failures in different ways - improvise, innovate, learn from them surely in the end a victorious you shall emerge! Have faith in yourself, if not who will? Cheers!
