Failure is the term itself is unacceptable to hear for many people. But failure is the stepping stone of success. Now the days younger generation as well as their parents want success in all areas within a small span of time. As a human being, he or she may be having strength in one or two areas. It is important to recognize those fields and try to achieve something in that field. Don’t force them to achieve something in the field where they are low or nil interested. Then only they face multiple failures and they start to think negatively towards themselves like – waste, worthless, useless, hopeless, incapable, etc. All these lead to a variety of emotional flows – shame, sadness, anger, anxiety, embarrassment, etc. Some will try to escape from this failure by giving plenty of reasons.
Handling failure is also a skill.
1) Accept the failure and feel all the emotions first. Because these emotions motivate you to achieve in the next attempt.
2) Don’t try to reduce the pain of failure by smoking, by drug and alcohol consumption, or by overeating. It may give you temporary relief, not the solution or success.
3) Try to indulge in more physical activities and don’t isolate yourself, be with friends and family members. Socialization is important in this situation.
4) List out the reasons for failures and at the same time list out the further plans to achieve success in the next attempt. read it loudly and repeatedly, which gives positive hopes.
5) Learning to face failure is also very very important in everyone’s life. Because variations in one’s life are too common in this competitive world. So it is important to understand that – one’s own effort to maintain topmost position is not permanent. One more person may acquire this position with his own skills and effort. It doesn’t mean, you are worthless. Being in a healthy competition is encouraging.
Failure is not the end of life and success is not only the solution. Learning from mistakes is a complete life.
