Winning is not everything it is the only thing!!!
I am not saying winning doesn’t matter but it is
not everything neither it is only thing. Turning failure to the advantage is everything.
Learning from the failure is the thing to do. Failure is lemon and learning
from failure is lemonade.
Our culture put high premium on winning. Everybody
pays attention to a winner. A loser is supposed to sit down and disappear.
Normally when we achieve success we got busy in rejoicing and learn less from it.
When we fail we focus our entire attention on learning from it .We gain more
from failure than we might get from success .But viewing yourself failure is
not good for you .Don’t fall in such trap .Failure can be a great teacher but
it’s up to you to figure out the lessons you learn.
A well known example of famous personality
Albert
Einstein
Most of us take Einstein's name as
synonymous with genius, but he didn't always show such promise. Einstein did
not speak until he was four and did not read until he was seven, causing his
teachers and parents to think he was mentally handicapped, slow and
anti-social. Eventually, he was expelled from school and was refused admittance
to the Zurich Polytechnic School. It might have taken him a bit longer, but
most people would agree that he caught on pretty well in the end, winning the
Nobel Prize and changing the face of modern physics.
Isaac
Newton
Newton was undoubtedly a genius when it
came to math, but he had some failings early on. He never did particularly well
in school and when put in charge of running the family farm, he failed
miserably, so poorly in fact that an uncle took charge and sent him off to
Cambridge where he finally blossomed into the scholar we know today.
Abraham
Lincoln
While today he is remembered as one of the
greatest leaders of our nation, Lincoln's life wasn't so easy. In his youth he
went to war a captain and returned a private (if you're not familiar with
military ranks, just know that private is as low as it goes.) Lincoln didn't
stop failing there, however. He started numerous failed businesses and was
defeated in numerous runs he made for public office.
Elvis
Presley
As one of the best-selling artists of all
time, Elvis has become a household name even years after his death. But back in
1954, Elvis was still a nobody, and Jimmy Denny, manager of the Grand Ole Opry,
fired Elvis Presley after just one performance telling him, "You ain't
goin' nowhere, son. You ought to go back to drivin' a truck."
Steven
Spielberg
While today Spielberg's name is synonymous
with big budget, he was rejected from the University of Southern California
School of Theater, Film and Television three times. He eventually attended
school at another location, only to drop out to become a director before
finishing. Thirty-five years after starting his degree, Spielberg returned to
school in 2002 to finally complete his work and earn his BA.
Charlie
Chaplin
It's hard to imagine film without the
iconic Charlie Chaplin, but his act was initially rejected by Hollywood studio
chiefs because they felt it was a little too nonsensical to ever sell.
Bill
Gates
Gates didn't seem like a shoe-in for
success after dropping out of Harvard and starting a failed first business with
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen called Traf-O-Data. While this early idea
didn't work, Gates' later work did, creating the global empire that is
Microsoft.
Walt
Disney
Today Disney rakes in billions from
merchandise, movies and theme parks around the world, but Walt Disney himself
had a bit of a rough start. He was fired by a newspaper editor because,
"he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." After that, Disney
started a number of businesses that didn't last too long and ended with
bankruptcy and failure. He kept plugging along, however, and eventually found a
recipe for success that worked.
Oprah
Winfrey
Most people know Oprah as one of the most
iconic faces on TV as well as one of the richest and most successful women in
the world. Oprah faced a hard road to get to that position, however, enduring a
rough and often abusive childhood as well as numerous career setbacks including
being fired from her job as a television reporter because she was "unfit
for tv."
Michael
Jordan
Most people wouldn't believe that a man
often lauded as the best basketball player of all time was actually cut from
his high school basketball team. Luckily, Jordan didn't let this setback stop
him from playing the game and he has stated, "I have missed more than
9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have
been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over
and over and over again in my life.
It is not that heroes never fall(or fail), but
they get up as soon as they fall.They get up so quickly that a spectator may
not even notice that they fell. They don't waste any time getting upset about
the fall.
To divert yourself from dwelling upon failure,
focus on what is within your control and what you can try next. If you fall,
keep moving. Don't be disappointed if you don't make it this time.
Disappointment results from "appointing," that is, fixing
expectations in your mind too rigidly. The art is to dream and visualize the
best possible performance and yet be prepared for failing or losing.
Trying and working hard is praiseworthy. Express
thanksgiving when you see yourself and others trying and working harder.
Forgive yourself and others for failures."If I don't forgive yourself, who
will? Because you know you are trying to do right thing .God knows that and you
know it. Nobody else may know it.
