What Exactly Is Failure? / myLot

What is failure? Inability to succeed? Lack of success? Non-performance? Downfall? Bankruptcy? Neglect? Does neglect causes failure or the other way round? When is one a failure? Should we as humans call a person a failure? Does circumstances play a big role in failure? Does one becomes a failure for a specific amount of time? Does a man make failure or the other way round? Is there success without failure? If we plan to succeed, is failure inevitable? If you were to summarize failure, how would you do it?

Failure is the inability to stop trying.If you put much effort in your business,there's always a small achievement.If you quit trying,you become a failure.

you mean........inability to keep trying.. Frankly, there are also times we should know when we've had enough... giving up and knowing when we've had enough are to different things though

Failure occurs when one stops trying when success is possible with more effort.

Failure is simply when you didn't follow the right path, the right instructions. So you get lost. But you realize what you did wrong, so you can go back and take the right direction. Not necessarily the right one, it can be the left one as well. Was that joke so bad?
