Failure

Failure refers to a state or condition of not being able to meet a desirable or intended objective...yes this is how wikipedia describes failure. But, how will I describe failure if someone were to ask me...I would say failure is that one thing that scares all of us to the very core of our being.And how much does it scare us? Well that is simple its directly proportional to the extent of the desire the bigger the desire the bigger is our fear of failure. Failure is the opposite of success and since we all attach so much importance to success failure automatically becomes a stigma.But, is it really that bad to fail? Who decides that you have failed and which is more painful failing in the standards set by others or failing in the standards set by youself?

There is something which is worse than failure - it is the fear of failure.If you are scared to fail it means you are scared to try and if you are scared to try then nothing can change.If each one of us were to look back at the life we have had till now we would realize that whatever success we have achieved till this moment is because we were not scared to try. And yes each one of us would have failed at some point of time in some or the other way. The pain would have been immense at that point of time but overcoming that pain has definately made us the person we are today - better and stronger :). That is why I would say our sweetest success comes from our greatest failure ( please do let me know if you dont agree with me on this).

Failure infact is not that bad as long as you dont allow it to break your spirit. Failure teaches us some of the most meaningful things of life. It teaches us the most imporatant thing humility. The moment you have lived through your worst failure....the moment you have faced that which you were most scared to face and overcome that believe me after that moment you are not the same person....you have changed and for the better.Thanks to failure for making us a more confident, stronger and better human being.
