Dear Friends,
There are a few occasions during our existence in this world, when most of us experience great flashes of insight, great moments of truth that forever change the course of our lives. This might sound strange but the fact is most of those experiences result from spectacular failures and not from outstanding successes. It is from our failures (which dismayed us), that we learn the most lasting lessons, but its only when we extract the useful lessons from them and then put the entire episode behind us.
Let us all learn from our failures, forget about them, and move on to better things.
Our FAILURE (for all we know) may prove to be an asset, provided we know why we failed.
Good morning - Have a lovely day.
Cheers,
B

Failures makes us more stronger
Dear Friends,
May we have
* Enough happiness to make us sweet,
* Enough trials to make us strong
* Enough sorrow to keep us human
* Enough hope to make us happy.
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; You can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
Don’t count the years - count the memories….Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!
I read these beautiful lines and decided to start my writeup again. Its been over 2 months that I haven't seriously sat down and evaluated actions of mine - Probably lost the track somewhere - Something beautiful happened yesterday and I realised again that there is this ME within ME, who has been a believer that there is a reason behind everything that happens.
We normally get disillusioned by failure but that's where we go wrong - Failures teaches us to correct ourselves and walk the right path - We are supposed to learn from them. Infact, I would say that there is no such thing as failure, unless it is accepted as such. Every defeat is temporary unless you give up and allow it to become permanent.
As mentioned earlier, these temporary defeat should makes us stronger and more capable. Each time we try and fail, we learn something that helps prepare us for eventual success. When you view adversity as nothing more than a learning experience, your successes in life will far outnumber your failures.
Cheers,
B

Failure - A reason to Change
Dear Friends,
FAILURE IS A BLESSING WHEN IT PUSHES US OUT OF A CUSHIONED SEAT OF SELF-SATISFACTION AND FORCES US TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL.
If you carefully study your own life and those of achievers whom you admire, it is an absolute certainty you will discover that your greatest opportunities often occurred during times of adversity. It is only when faced with the possibility of failure that we are willing to deal with radical change and take the risks that lead to great success.
When you experience temporary failure and you know that it is temporary, you can capitalize on the opportunities adversity always brings. It all depends on the individual and his take on accepting failure in a positive manner.
If everything we attempted in life were achieved with a minimum of effort and came out exactly as planned, how little we would learn-and how boring life would be! And how arrogant we would become if we succeeded at everything we attempted.
Failure allows us to develop the essential quality of humility. It is not easy (when you are the person experiencing failure) to accept it philosophically, serene in the knowledge that this is one of life's great learning experiences. But it is.
Nature's ways are not always easily understood, but they are repetitive and therefore predictable. You can be absolutely certain that when you feel you are being most unfairly tested, you are being prepared for great achievement.
regards,
B

Don't Give Up
Dear Friends,
I BELIEVE, EDISON FAILED 10,000 TIMES BEFORE PERFECTING THE INCANDESCENT ELECTRIC LIGHTBULB.
DON'T WORRY IF YOU FAIL ONCE.
Arguably America's greatest inventor, Thomas Edison had an extraordinarily positive perception of life that greatly enhanced his ability as an inventory. When others might have been hopelessly discouraged after failing thousands of times in an attempt to develop an electric light, the great Edison simply viewed each unsuccessful experiment as the elimination of a solution that wouldn't work, thereby moving him that much closer to a successful solution.
We could all take a lesson from Edison. Stories abound about inventors who quit trying and gave up too soon or miners who struck gold just a few feet beyond where someone else quit digging. There are few obstacles in life that will not succumb to consistent, sustained, intelligent, positive action. When you are discouraged after you've failed at something, remember Edison's 10,000 failures before he arrived at the solution that forever changed the world.
I am sure that this would change our lives. Failure is a reality and we only learn through failure thus don't fear but look at the same in the positive light and you will succeed.
Cheers,
B
