Failing is part of life and business. Success will not be sweet without the contrast – failure.
Most of us are conditioned to avoid failure as much as possible. Where would we be now, if as a child our parents didn’t encourage us ‘get up one more time’ and make an effort to walk?
As we grow older the same people (our parents!) do not encourage the same attitude to failing in rest of our lives. They want to protect us from disappointments and heart aches. If our parents taught us to handle failure as a learning experience and a stepping stone to success – I am sure most us will be fulfilling our true potential.
Next time you see a successful person, congratulate them not just on their success but also on the failures they had to overcome.
Here is an inspiring video (8 mins 15 s) that will encourage you to fail more….
