THE POWER OF FAILURE

One of the most experience that we can have in our life is FAILURE. How we handle failure is another area where we can dramatically seperate ourselves from the crowd. Indeed failure has tremendous value. As General Colin Powell has said "Perpertual opposition is a force multiplier".

People who achieve great things are not afraid to fail. Woo Hoo.Isit me ? This is because they recognize failure an excellent teacher when it is viewed through the eyes of a winner. Just think back, as a child, we fell down countless times while learning to walk, today we walk around all day without even giving the task conscious thought. The best example we can see is from Thomas Edison .. Remember him ? He is the one who failed more than a thousand times before he invented a working light bulb. And today he is remembered as great inventor and not a great failure.

Babe Ruth struck out more than a thousand times yet he is called The Sultan of Swat to this day not the wizard of whiff. We can see what does set winners apart from the avarage individual is that they treat failure as an event not a destiny. If we learn to see failure as a signposts that points us towards success, we understand that giving ourselves freedom to fail creates opportunities for big wins. Come on.. We learn failures and use them to add to our base of knowledge. If we allow our mistakes to stop us from moving forward, you've allowed failure to have the victory. WhY in the world you give the potential for failure. or failure itself that much power over our destiny? DON'T DO IT!!! Harness the power of failure and continue to pursue our dream.

I faced with a great challenge, I do what all great people do, I pose a greater challenge to them. What about you ?
