Failure

This is a small lesson as to how we can look at a situation in our life… and go ahead to achieve our goals.
Failure
When you fail to reach a target…

It does not mean you are a failure
It means you have not yet succeeded

It does not mean you have accomplished nothing
It means you have learnt something

It does not mean you will never be able to do it
It means you have to do it in a different way

It does not mean you are inferior
It means you are not perfect

It does not mean you have wasted your life
It means you have to start afresh

It does not mean you have to give up
It means you have to try harder

It does not mean you will never achieve it
It means it will just take a little longer

It does not mean God has abandoned you
It just means that he has another idea for you

Some Examples of this:

Albert Eintsein: was an ordinary clerk, who later became a world famous scientist.
Abraham Lincoln: was a peer farmer’s son, who later became President of America.
Goldameir: was a school teacher, who later became Prime Minister of Israel.
Franklin Roosevelt: both legs paralyzed, who later became President of America.
Homer: was blind, who later became the greatest Greek writer.
Helen Keller: was blind, deaf and dumb, who later became a renowned writer.
Demosthenes: was a nervous stammerer, who later became a well-known Greek orator.

Thomas Edison: was a graduate, who later became the greatest inventor.
MS Oberoi: was a clerk, who later became owner of one of the biggest hotel chain in the world.

All these great people managed to achieve great heights in their lives. Why can’t we at least try? Never let small failures depress you. You have to try harder. Believe in yourself, God too believes in you. He surely sent you on this planet for a reason. Don’t let him down. Hardwork, willingness towards your goal & efforts never go waste.
