Failure is often deemed bad to many and an unwelcome turnout of an event that most people don't want to experience; it's definitely an act of failing to be successful in a quest, although in truth and in my opinion failure isn't necessary a bad thing; it's what can go on to improve our personal growth and self-awareness, a learning phrase that helps us understand our mistakes and take caution, rethink strategies, and try again with a new approach, and in this article today I'll be sharing my take on failure and how I handle it.
To be truthful, just like everyone else, it's not always easy to deal with failure. At the point of beginning a quest, almost everyone joins for their desire to win; however, that's not always the case, as it turns out that we sometimes fail, and that can lead to disappointment, delay, and depression, depending on how important such a quest is to us and the things such failure would effect in our lives going forward.
But then if you're understanding the principles of life, you'll know that failure isn't the end of life, and the delay it brings isn't necessary a denial, but an avenue to try again, give it another shot, and then give it your best in achieving your goals and aspirations personally for me, although at the immediate point of failure, I'm down and unhappy, but when I take out time to think through thereafter, then I began to identify my lapses that lead to my failure, look for ways to abstain from such again, and as well learn from those who have walked in the same path and triumph.
To me, failure is a greater teacher than success, because when you fail, you've got time to understand your weakness, strive to become better, and as well take out time to learn from your mistakes. Also, people who have walked the same path and succeeded often always project you to achieving beyond your expectations. Failure plays a huge role in brooding our resilience, perseverance, and patience, which are some of the crucial features of champions, so for me, each time I fail, I pick myself up and, after critical thinking and implementation, go ahead to try again.
On the other hand, success often doesn't always let us understand or appreciate the effort and dedication out in place to achieve the feast, and that also prevents us from acquiring valuable skills that are essential in overcoming life's complex challenges. I remember a time when I failed woefully in a job interview. I was so dejected because I needed the job, but in truth, I know I didn't prepare for the interview like others and wasn't expecting most of the interviewers questions.
So after that event, I made a point of duty to always prepare myself by equipping myself with vast information about the organization I'm going to and likely questions to expect at an interview. I also fish out my lapses and work on improving them, and this did pay off because going to other interviews thereafter just becomes easier as I nail every aspect they usually vet, from knowledge to capability, costume, and the like.
So to me, failure is a learning phrase, and that's how I see and handle it. It's not a time to get depressed and feel completely worthless, but to pick myself up and improve myself in the best possible ways, and bring this to a close. It's worth failure. Some of the most important inventions we've today won't come to light. Inventions like microwaves, inkjet printers, penicillin drugs, and many more are products of failure, so to me, I'm not bad, but evidence of trial and on the pathway to great possibilities.
