Why Success Always Start With Failure - What People Should Know

Success and failure/idssmile.com

    SUCCESS and FAILURES are all things of the mind and both of them have links with one's general attitude in life and how an individual views things. This very ideas has been accepted generally to the extent that those who argue against such long held ideas are often looked upon with enough disdain.

Sometimes though, it may be very difficult to categorically term someone a failure in life just because of not being passionate with what most of their mates are doing. Daring to be different is indeed one of the most difficult things to do in life, especially when you have nothing backing you up immediately as proof that what you are doing have some potentials.

It's usually easy for others to ascribe failure to a person (s) that are not doing well materially as expected due to what they often consider to be so easy for the individuals but which might not be so for the very person in question.

Once a person is not doing well in some expected areas in life or where he is expected to make fast progress in, such ones are easily termed a failure because, to the greater number of persons, Success is a must irrespective of whichever way a person is directed or is faced. Anything short of that is easily frowned at by the relatives or friends and such a person regarded or termed a FAILURE.

Some common reminder to such ones are the following hurtful remarks: Is he or she not your mate? What is it that he is doing that you can't do? Too bad again if the reproaches are conspicuous enough for all to see.

Such ones are also said to be failure minded simply because of not living up to the goals set for them by others. But is that the best conclusions to have regarding such ones? I don't think it is.

 Most of those that are accused of being unsuccessful in life are also accused of having failure mindsets. That also attracts another questions: 'Are people not being rather too harsh in reaching their conclusions about them? 'Do they know their experiences in life or possibly series of disappointments in their life both physically and emotionally that may have been responsible for their being withdrawn from it all so to say?

It is never a good a thing for anyone to be in hurry at drawing hasty conclusions on another person who they may not have some detailed and necessary information about.

It is still being contented of how really some perceived lazy people are in true senses of it. Are those accused of being lazy really so or is it that they are being pushed to do things that are not of interests to them?

 So many young lads who were tagged the most stupid sets during their school days are the ones dictating the pace for how things are done today both technologically and otherwise. But ask any of their teacher those days of their opinions regarding them and you would have the worst verdicts passed on them as the failures of the highest degrees.

Check throughout histories around the world and you will notice that the less pushy ones in all areas of interests in life often end up not getting what they want in life because they usually go through the notions of being obedient children to the detriments of what they are set out to become or do with their life.

This is quite different from the often misunderstood stubborn ones who fight tooth and nail to have their messages of displeasure clearly passed to whom ever it may be that are holding them against will. These sets of people are the ones that usually go far in life and have their dreams met with too many discoveries and inventions credited to their names.

Time will failure us here if we continue to enumerate the names and achievements of those who refused to be held down by other people's opinions and who went all out to have their names written on marble.

All of these and many more could be avoided in life if we all know the right time to take our leave from that which is not justifying our inputs into them. That could as well spare us from what is called ‘victim mentality’ in psychology

It is true that the reasons why we are not succeeding in some things may be justifiable, but that shouldn't give us the full rights to take life too slow and have it throw/soak us in the mud as it would if allowed. Let us do all we possibly could to break-even with that which we are set out to do, no matter the challenges, for that is the only thing that could project us before all others as a person with well defined missions and goals in life.

 Success and failures are two different things in life and we all know that 99.99% of the people want to succeed in life but yet many have died without succeeding in what they wanted to do and many would still die whether they succeed or not, but the most important thing in life is for each and every one of us to retain at least a mark in an area of interest in life which he would be known for and commended at.

 It is also true that there are many types of jobs/professions in life, but it's best to be known for the very one that you can do and have it done not just professional way alone but profitably as well, since one cannot be successful and still depend on others to be taking care of his basic needs in life.

 What that simply means is this: 'Let that which you works for also work for you in returns' But be patient enough to wait if it's something that requires you to wait either for a long or short time as long as it's something laudable and which you have enough confidence in.   

Stay Away From Some Attitudes That Could Project You As A Failure In Life

1. Adviser With No Experience To Back It Up:

 One would be projecting himself as a failure if all he does is giving others the best of advises that are interwoven with all the beautiful stories in life but with none of the effects of such noticeable in his ways of life or his business. Don't just talk or write for others to hear and read but always put yourself in the position of your audience because that helps one to adjust as well.

2. Let Your Work Attitude Speak For You:

SEE WHAT DISAPPOINTMENT COULD CAUSE A PERSON

 Are you self employed or working for someone else? You could be projecting yourself as a failure if you are constantly jumping from one business to the other or if you are working for someone else but always have the views that things could be better for you by starting your own company with the hopes of doing all other things you had wanted to do before now. This is an illusion if you are not adequately prepared and really knows what it takes to start up a company.

 The advice has always been like this:

 Sack your boss, jail your boss, swallow your boss and all the rest of such jingles. It is not a bad thing if one can conveniently start up and run his own company, but the question is, How prepared are you and What reasons do you have for considering that in the first place?

 Please, try to give yourself some satisfactorily answers to those two questions and if found wanting, do not make the mistakes of going into what you are ill-equipped and doesn't have the full knowledge in. Better still, if the current pay is the issue, try ask for a raise or look for a better job else where instead of starting what you cannot finish.

3.Do Not Act As If You Know It All And Without No Challenges:

AFRICA AS IT IS

 When you are always satisfied with your own ways of handling all the challenges that comes your way, it shows you up as not just a failure but also an impudent. There are challenges and problems everywhere but one good thing about it all is that there is none without some possible solutions. Learn to ask for solutions to problems of any type because it makes you wise and successful at the same time.

4.Association Matters Much:

 Friends can make a person or mar a person at the same time. The type of associations that one surrounds himself with often project him for what he truly is and how successful a person is also has much to do with that. 'Who's your friend? don't be surprised if I tell you more about your personality when you show him to me.

5.Attitudes With Money:

SEE WHY IT IS GOOD TO SHARE SOME SMILES WITH YOUR LOVED ONES

 This sounds like the master of them all but not really so and that is the reason I didn't assign any special position to it because all the points discussed here matters and are very important. Do you know the value of investing instead of spending every change that enters your hand and even go into borrowing to satisfy your immediate cravings?

 Doing that is one of the failure's trademark. Another closely related attitude is being materialistic, every thing about me, me, me and me! Making sure to acquire it till the last coin with no sense of values to the others or even own self. The point here bothers on being balanced, no more, no less any thing aside from that is selfishness which failure mentality curdles with all it has got.

6.Free With Excuses:

 Before you knows what is happening, you are already excusing yourself from your very self! If given the chances to settle with a person, excuses can be very funny and damaging because one hardly differentiate it from its two other siblings known as Procrastination and Laziness. Excuses can provide one with all the reasons in the world why so many things were not the ways they supposed to be and why you have to do what you did without minding the damages it has resulted into. Excuses has only one person free from its accusations/blames and that is the giver even to his detriments. It simply culminate in failure.

7. Best Ideas Without Implementation:

 Nickname it imaginative thinker and you would have it all because that gives you 100% pass marks! Unlike success's way of doing things, Failure always come up with the best of images and fantasies of doing things but none comes to light as they are all conceived and dies long before delivery. That we do not want to associate ourselves with. Failure also enjoys another weak mentality of playing the blame games of could have been if not that this or that did one thing one thing that ended up as nothing.
