Everyone is scared of failing. But what if failing is actually the best way to succeed?
Failing can feel like desperation. It makes people feel like they’re not good enough, like they’ve let everyone down. It can lead to not getting your dream job or even being shamed by your relatives.
Even I feel ashamed when I get bad test results, but what if we thought differently? Instead of feeling like we’ve failed, face the fact: you can’t truly fail until the examiner tells you that you’ve failed.
Failure is a label. It is an opinion. Sometimes that failure can affect your life, but perhaps it isn’t entirely your fault. If you studied hard enough but still “failed,” you should still be given credit.
Effort matters more than results. Of course, failing to become a doctor may be necessary for patients’ safety, but you should still have opportunities, regardless of the outcome. Play to your strengths.
The definition of failure should be changed. “Not trying your best” should be considered failure. But getting 35% on your reading comprehension doesn’t mean you didn’t try your best.
Failing is bad, but you can’t prevent it. Instead, look at the bright side. Thomas Edison made 5,999 failed lightbulbs. On his 6,000th try, bingo.
Not all the time, but failure is often a sign of perseverance and determination. Instead of letting failure continue to shadow your life mentally after it has passed, think of Thomas Edison and the thousands of others who made a difference after failing.
Failure, the word that billions of people are scared of. Turn it into an opportunity, not the only light to the future, but one of many paths that can lead you forward.
Failure is the end of one path, but there are a million other golden paths waiting for you.
