The word failure is more feared upon than facing failure itself. It is in the anticipation of failure or the impending fear of failure that has to lead more lives to a premature end. It is more in degrading than the actual experience facing failure. This is because of our society’s deep-rooted ingrained system of using creating an atmosphere of enforced panic. It acts as a method of motivating towards conventional or traditional success. This unnecessary cloud of uncertainty and pressure looming over a person may seemingly appear very naïve. But it is more dangerous than third-degree torture as it results in mental problems. This leads to the stigma of uncertain & difficult issues.
In the vehement efforts to motivate a generation towards success, society and institutional education facilities have gravely overlooked in observing and subsequently conveying the fact that neither success nor failure is permanent and failure and success are different sides of the same coin. Sometimes we draw success when we flip that coin and sometimes we draw failure. But irrespective of the eventual outcome one thing that remains inevitable is that the outcome will definitely change. So whether you have achieved the desirable or have fallen short, nothing is going to be permanent. Rather, it is the failure to achieve the goal makes the reattempt process for reaching the goal clearer and successful. Besides it is the orthodox social structure that sets up the conventional benchmarks of success and failure.
Even in falling short of achieving the desired outcome, one has achieved something with their efforts. This is the learning that will cover the gap. And to reach that goal you will need to amplify your efforts need to be amplified. With such mentality and determination to eventually succeed, no one can eventually remain a failure as sooner or later they analyze their efforts resulting in shortcoming, modify the input and reach the desired goal. Once they make it a habit of reaching the desired goal, inspired by the same mentality, one raises the bar and challenges themselves with self-assigned higher goals. In this way, one not only makes it a habit of being inclined towards success majorly in their efforts but also tests their potential to excel and succeed in the chosen field.
Failure is more of a stigma than an actual effect because failure in itself is not permanent. When one falls short it is a warning for them to analyze their efforts and concentrate their focus. If one heeds this warning and rectifies the shortcoming in their next attempt, failure will soon be a thing of the past. So failure is inevitable as it is only a measure of analyzing one’s approach towards their goal. In fact, the sooner one fails in reaching their desired goal, the sooner they reflect on their ways and analyze them for making necessary changes and revisions. However, failure in itself cannot deter one to proceed any further. Quitting is letting failure prevail. Even if it was unexpected, failure cannot be allowed to overcome by sheer determination to succeed.
