Who said failure is bad?

Fail! No one likes this word. Even seeing a letter ‘F’ freaks everyone out. It is a negative (harsh) word but besides that, it has many benefits us in many positive ways. We should take every advantage of our failure by exploring the cause of it and learn from our mistakes. Failure can lead us to success. It can help us to learn better, to grow our character and it proves that one should put every effort to earn what they are chasing for.

Now, you might be thinking, failure is good or not. So here’s a thing; it’s up to you how you perceive failure. I don’t think that’s a bad thing because failure exists in human nature. Everybody I mean everybody fails in their life and probably the greatest example is you yourself but if we look down to the history, so we found;

  • Abraham Lincoln! Who was born in poverty, failed in business, lost the elections and suffered a nervous breakdown. But he didn’t quit and become one of the greatest elected President in the history of America.
  • Walt Disney! Who wasn’t creative enough, fired from one of his animation job because had a lack of imagination and no good ideas. He failed more than three hundred times in his career but he didn’t give up and now look where he is still going.
  • Steve Jobs! Who was an adopted child, fired from his own company, faced family problems and live a devastating period of his life. But he earned what he was chasing for and he made it.
  • Thomas Edison! Who failed a thousand times to invent a single light bulb.
  • Colonel Sanders (Founder of KFC)! Who rejected his thousands of chicken recipes to find a better one.

Although, there are gazillions of examples but I guess you get a clue of what history is trying to say; just don’t give up and never quit. As someone said:

May be you’ll done from it or learn from it.

The situation that you call life, is limited. Life can be much broader, it can be more beautiful and joyful, but again it depends, how you perceive it. If you are not that special,  so just believe you are special; then what comes without becomes within and you’ll never be the same again and remember;

Failure is the matter of all success.
