Failures were my great Teachers

After completion of my Master Degree in Physics remained idle. Everybody was busy from morning to evening attending some classes. I inquired as to why they were so busy and where they were going? The reply was TYPEWRITING CLASSES which can fetch them a job easily in any organization or firm.
Instead of wasting my time moving here and there I wanted to give a try. I joined in the lower grade class. I was very punctual and came out of the lower grade test in the first attempt.
Now, it is the higher grade typing which proved fatal for me. I lost the first attempt .
The second attempt taught me a lesson. At the time of giving the test, I became quite hurry and neglected and avoided the margin setting needed for typing a BALANCE SHEET. I could notice the error at the 11th hour which did not serve any purpose. Everybody got their number except me.
I took it as a challenge. Appeared for the third time. Had a cool drink and kept myself cool and comfortable. The very first question attempted was BALANCE SHEET. I made it perfect as I had already planned nicely how to attempt it and when to attempt it.
When the results came I got 90 percent in the speed test and 89 in the second paper. Came out successfully . Even now if any of my subordinates can not type properly I help them.
These are of course, may be my failures. But, they taught me how to keep oneself balanced and cool . How everything should be planned for achieving the goal.

It's good to know that like success stories, you took the experience not as a total failure but a learning experience for you. There are lots of growing kids out there in the world who are programmed to consider a failure in their first attempt as final failure and no further attempts are made. I learned that failures are part of life. All successful people have failed a lot of times. We understand it when we dig deep into the experiences of great inventors, scientists, athletes, politicians, and other areas of life. Let failure be our friend and we can climb the highest mountain of success.
