Failure is an opportunity for Success

       The man is rising. Commended by those around him, he takes in as much success as he can. Now well established, the man has adapted to being appreciated if not anything else.
       Cue,the game changer:Luck. Everything changes overnight;from rags to riches, from zeniths of glory to pitfalls of despair, the man appears to be in a vicious downward spiral, seemingly unending. It is indeed at times like this when a man's conviction is truly tested. Someone, whom I know not, had once said :- A measure of a man's success is not how he climbs, but rather how hard he bounces back on falling. Failure, i believe, awakens in a man a burning desire to prove to his peers that he still has what it takes. It gives the person a chance to make amends on his way to success. Failure opens up a whole new perspective towards life. Some of the most eminent personalities reached the peaks of their respective careers after having undergone tremendous lows. A few notable individuals include Madhu Dasa Pandit, the founder of 'Akshaya Patra', who came close to committing suicide, Thomas Alva Edison, who failed innumerable times while trying to invent the electric bulbs as well as the honorable Jamshetji Tata, the industrialist who went bankrupt not one, not twice but thrice! What we ought to learn from these examples is that however dark a tunnel may seem, there is always light at its end. The trick is to remain undeterred by the darkness and reach for the light.
        It is of utmost importance to have a conviction that no path is too bumpy, no sea is too stormy, no storm is too violent if we look at it from an optimistic perspective; And whether we choose to accept it or not, failures remain an integral part of our lives for it is the failures that inspire us to give it our best shot, to push ourselves to the limit and it is failure that moulds a part of our character that we do not even know exists. It is a new, bright morning that follows the darkest hour.

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!!!!!      

The Idea of Success

   So true are the words - success is not just about being and becoming. The idea of success is often mistaken for success is not just about what one attained but also about how he attained it. It is always the journey that matters and the path that inspires and a very large obstacle in your path is not a towering mountain but an even deeper trench. In this trench only criticism reverberates. They insult you. They make allegations ridden with falsehood. Here, you are surrounded only by the darkness of your own regret for having even started this journey. At this crucial juncture, you are quite likely to beat the retreat and all you could have been remains just an unfulfilled dream - a destiny forever lost.

   However, to succeed, it is such tedious trails, you have to take and walk out of the doom to see the day.
In this trench, your might lies in your will-power and power to endure...

   It does not make you wise to flee from those you fear, but to fight them not with haste and anger but with patience and persistence. With your actions you ought to crush every allegation. And with your actions only, you have to prove yourself!

   It is certain that the words they fling at you and the tries they make to pull you down would inflict immense pain and torture. It is certain that they will invoke anger and hatred. But it is upon you whether to retaliate hastily or give up, or to patiently continue your efforts to stand up to your aims and ends. It matters not whether you sit and sob for a brick they threw at you. It matters not even whether you pick up the brick and throw it back at them. What matters is whether you catch the brick, put it on the ground and start building banisters to get out of the trench!   

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.
