Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, More intelligently !!!

   Every animal that the earth is home to, is prone to making mistakes. God is yet to create a being that would commit no errors. A bird can sit on the wrong branch, a lion can misjudge it's prey's speed and a fish can lay eggs at the wrong location. Man does not stand as an exception to this rule. He can commit an array of mistakes which would inevitably result in failure;a failure that can  dishearten, depress and demoralize.
However, God has gifted man with the ability to think on, recognize and correct his mistakes much faster and accurately than other species.
   Failure is a stepping stone to success. One should not consider failure to be the end of the world for this could deter the individual from hard work. Since optimism and hope pave the path to success, one should never befriend pessimism and kill hope by embracing failure and considering it to be the end of the road. However, if he thinks before giving up and fights on with the pranks of anger, disappointment and defeat that his mind plays on him, he is certain to find himself on a red herring and get him back to where he had started from. Failure should be accepted with the highest sportsman spirit that one can muster and should be welcomed as an opportunity to retrace your mistaken steps and get back to the right path. Failure, hence, should be perceived as an opportunity to atone for your wrong-doings and alter your mistakes.
   However, during the process of atonement, you cannot afford to forget your failure and your mistakes. Make your dreaded mistakes your beloved teachers and you will definitely attain your goals. Mistakes are meant for you to learn from, not to regret for. Hence when you begin with a new attempt to attain success and make a new start to make good the opportunity failure has bestowed upon you, do so wisely and intelligently.
   Highly successful people are those who treat failure as not more than a temporary situation!!!!!

Perseverance is the key to success

What does Perseverance mean ? Perseverance means persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving a goal or success. Perseverance is an attitude of persisting one single idea, discipline, ideal, rules to achieve success, to achieve a goal- in spite of facing n- number of difficulties, obstructions, hurdles, failures etc.
There are numbers of failures and hurdles, you have to pass through before you achieve something worthwhile in life. The only undying quality imbibed in every successful man, is the quality of perseverance. It is this quality which makes even seemingly impossible task possible.
Permanence, Perseverance and Persistence in spite of obstacles, discouragement and impossibilities. These are the things that distinguish the strong from the weak. Perseverance is failing 99 times and achieving success the 100th time. Perseverance is a necessary quality for success. Only if you bang hard enough and loud enough on someone's gate, they will wake up and open the gate. 
There is an apt saying that “Fire is the test of Gold and Adversity is the test of Man”. The key to success in any field is perseverance, industriousness and single minded effort to achieve the Goal. Success is like a ladder where you have to climb step by step and do a lot of hard work to reach at the top. The fruit of your success will surely be sweet. You must not run away from perseverance but rather adopt it and use it.
Abraham Lincoln was driven by perseverance to fight for the freedom of the slaves. Many battles were lost, A lot of blood was shed. But finally the rebels with Abraham Lincoln supporting them won. This is a very good example.
 Perseverance is not just a show of trying. It also shows the courage of a person. Lots of courage is needed to avoid the temptation of giving up and being free of expectations. So a perseverant person is one you can be sure who will never give up and a courageous individual. You can always count on such a person. Everyone should aim to be such a person.
