ATTITUDE TOWARDS FAILURE

Our attitude towards every issue in life is a product of our individual philosophy of life.

Encarta dictionary defines philosophy as “a precept, or set of precepts, beliefs, principles, or aims, underlying somebody's practice or conduct”.

Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow is only a vision, but today well lived makes everyday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore to this day (The Sanscrist).

Let’s consider some quotes on failure that reflects the philosophy of great men;

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
― Thomas A. Edison

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
― Winston Churchill

“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
― Winston Churchill

 “Life is full of screwups. You're supposed to fail sometimes. It's a required part of the human existance.”
― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

“I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.”
― Benjamin Franklin

 “All of old. Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
― Samuel Beckett, Worstward Ho

 “Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything.”
― Marilyn Monroe

  “It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

 “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”
― Robert F. Kennedy

“I'm done with those; regrets are an excuse for people who have failed.”
― Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story

 “Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

“You’re not obligated to win. You’re obligated to keep trying. To the best you can do everyday.”
― Jason Mraz

A popular African proverb says and I paraphrase '' the downfall of a man is not the end of his life ''. 

What  most people call failure is just a 'downfall', they are actually temporary defeat.

I encourage you this moment to rise up to the task ahead with a resolve to succeed at all cost. Go out today and achieve that GOAL.
