Robert Kiyosaki said he was successful because of the many mistakes and failures he had. I've learnt a lot from my own failures. What about You?

yes, failures indeed would help for you to become successful. it's some sort of a guide and a trial and error process. you try something, you fail, that means something is wrong or something is better to be done. what is important is that we won't quit and be carried away by failures. it is actually the thing that molds us to perfection..

I don't know who Robert Kiyosaki is. I do know however that mistakes and failures indeed teach us something. The problem is not with the mistakes but in how we see these mistakes. Failures and mistakes usually hinder our success because we think of them negatively. What we need to do is to think of these as lessons. Don't be intimidated by them and use what you have learned to make things right in the future.

Robert Kiyosaki is the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad", a best-seller which teaches us the importance of building assets instead of accumulating liabilities. He also motivates us to become a business builder instead of working for other people for life. I agreed with you that every failure or mistake gives us a lesson that we can learn from.

failures does teach good life lessons. but one need to take the right attitude during times of failure,i have seen many people becoming less confident or sad and they never try to learn a lesson from the failures. every failure is a stepping stone to success. like in the trading when u fail atleast u knew what a crook ur client was or ur stock was. better now than never.after learning the hard lesson one should be cautious again not to repeat the same. i have a friend who learns lessons but keep repeating the same mistakes. every lesson learnt from failures should make us wiser and not more foolish

Hi : Thanks for your comments. Sometimes I made the mistake of committing the same trading mistakes twice because of our ego. I'm still learning to keep my emotions in control to become a better options trader. Yours Truly, Tony Chai a disabled trader http://options4u.blogspot.com

I've also learned a lot from my failures and it made me a better person. I also believe that successful people suffered great failures before they became successful, it's an important component of each. Failures pose as challenges that drive a person to strive more and reach higher goals.

Hi Steney : Thanks for your comments. I trade stock options and although I have winning trades, I also encountered losing trades. The losing trades have always taught me to be wiser so that I won't commit the same mistakes again. That's why I sometimes share losing trades in my blog to remind traders to learn from the mistakes that I've made. Yours Truly, Tony Chai a disabled trader http://options4u.blogspot.com

My thoughts on failing and success, I think it has alot to do with striving to do better for fear of failing again. Just from experience, Ive failed an exam in the past and through failing, I think the second time around it made me better prepared and alert for the next attempt in which I past.

I agree with you. Failures definitely make me grow more matured and be ready to face the challenging world. I usually find problems which arise from people, and it is true people are the number one problem maker in this world. Lol. From the mistakes I've done, I've made an analysis about it and learn never to repeat the same mistake again. I think so far it works.

Hi : Thanks for your comments. Yes, we do learn from our mistakes. It's also important to keep reinforcing doing the right things so that we would be fully alert when the same kind of situation appeared when we made a mistake last time.

Yep I think I do too. I've had many times fallen but here I am still standing and surviving life. I guess the less you are mistaken the more your success becomes risky and when you lose you lose big time. So better still you learn your mistakes when you're still a novice than when your expert already.

Yes, failure is a kind of an experience that would make a better person because it is from that failure that he would learn from his mistakes. Every incident in our lives has a reason. God wouldn't allow such things to happen if there is no by-product that would renew a person, challenged the person and the strive the person harder to pursue his dreams through the failures that he make.

In my view there are no failures...only lessons to learn. If you have learned something from the experience...how can it be a failure? It is all a matter of You got it...perspective!
