Man’s life is a drama encompassing roles of various tastes and colours, which are played in accordance with the requirements and the needs of the love. It is an ongoing journey having a number of struggles in the course of its itinerary, starting from man’s birth and remains till his last breath. Man is destines to face miseries, ups and downs are a common phenomenon. Obstacles and impediments are bound to come in the way and frankly speaking, they are the stark realities of a lively human life. Man is to confront these natural anomalies’ because his life is not a bed of roses. Under these circumstances, man is expected to set right these imbalances in the best possible manner, so that he can sustain and move ahead unfailingly and successfully. And more often, he does act in pursuance with the need and, indeed, succeeds. But, at times, he is not able to overcome these hurdles and consequently fails.
From this juncture, in true sense of word, the real success story begins. Because, here, the true test commences to examine the depth of a person’s patience, width of his self-confidence, firmness of his vehement desire to attain the coveted goal i.e. success. Actually, at this point of time, one who rolls back never embraces success, but one who keeps on striving, perseveringly, is crowned with success, eventually.
Success and failure: – Success is not the result of one or two success, but of numerous factors. It is a metamorphosis of a dream into reality; a constant and continuous modification of intangible investments into a tangible form. It is a fruit, which ripens into a sweet edible owing to cumulative effect of various factors, such as hard work, form determination and dedication. But, sometimes, the attempt proves abortive leading to failure. Thus, failure are two facets of the same coin. And, failure is not something unusual, but a natural phenomenon in the course of an attempt to attain success.
Failure is neither frustrating nor a depressing event. It is not something, depressing event. It is not something derogatory or stigmatic event. Is is a hard reality, which should be taken lightly and heartily but very seriously.
Failure is very comprehensive term. It comprises setbacks, fiascoes and debacles of all sorts. It may be big or small. It means that failure has a wide import.
Failures as pillars to success: – Whatever be the size or nature of failure, it always comes as god’s grace or blessings and carries a treasure of invaluable price.
Failure brings forth certain realities which should be attended to at the earliest possible. It reveals the flaws and defects in the process, applied to sort out the problem or, better to say, to get the success. It guides and inspires to change the path or way trodden on. It teaches to mend the ways and plug the loopholes which led to setback. It gives chance and enables you to analyze and study the various steps adopted to perform a certain job. Instead of waiting or mourning in case of failure, one should, without any delay, give serious thought to the process applied and should do an overhauling of all the steps as well as methods taken to achieve the goal. Further, it gives vigor to act more emphatically and impressively. It empowers to overpower the challenge at disposal. It provides strength to crack the nut for proving one’s virility and capability. Although it generates transitory disappointment, yet it ultimately gives place to enthusiasm and zeal. It motivates to take recourse to a certain impeccable path to go on unhesitatingly and consistently to fulfill the cherished dream. In brief, it can be summed up that failure truly prepares a person, in limbo, to go for the next endeavor.
Failure does not mean that whatever one puts in to attain a certain goal previously went in vain. Actually, the labour one invests in past, acts as a bonus or dividend in future or for the next go. The person who meets setback does not have to start from the scratch. It means he need not invest same amount of labour as invested in his maiden attempt. He is merely required to analyse the ways he adopted. He is expected to improve and change his techniques earlier resorted to by him. That is to say, he is supposed to take measured and calculated steps and being required changes in his methodology to make the same result-oriented and success- directed effort.
Meeting failure in any adventure is not a fault or disgrace. A.P. Gowthey says that “To get profit without risk, experience without danger and reward without hard work, is as impossible as it is to live without being born.”
In the same manner, success without failure is seldom possible. Fortune favours the brave. And the brave is he who, in case of failures, goes ahead and bells the cat, with double strength and power instead of retreating. The brave himself pens down his fortune to clinch the title.
