Do setbacks discourage you or inspire you to work harder?  

I for one never never surrender to setbacks in life, in fact any setbacks will only motivates me to work harder to reach my goal in life. One good example is here in mylot. I was enjoying the glamorous 10 star when I was suddenly dragged down to my present star. Being a person who doesn't bow to setbacks I did not end my activities in mylot instead it motivates me to prove my critics wrong that I am not a lame person and is able to accept what ever hard knocks put on me. One rule that seems universally applicable is that there will always be some events over which we do not have a personal hold, but our attitude towards them is our own creation and, therefore, the right attitude lies in our hands. What ever setbacks, we have to take it as a fact of life. Our attitude should be of acceptance of the fact that it has happened and we should try to find the remedy instead of feeling upset or shaken an losing the courage to face the challenge.

hmm set backs don't really do anything to me. i mean of course i get upset. especially when i've put in a lot of effort. however, i don't get the discouraged or determined part. i just pick myself up after a set back and move on. i don't feel particularly determined to do better next time. well maybe at the time of the set back i do feel a little of that. but the next day when i wake up the determination is gone already.

I go through a process. When a setback arises, I often feel discouraged because it was unexpectanct and I am only human. But I do not give up and I still keep on pushing towards my goal because that is just how life is and you need to make do with what you have instead of being consumed by the problem. I am a firm believer that through difficulty lies opportunity and that when one door closes another will soon be opened. If you accept defeat, you will be defeated. No matter what, you must have faith and hold on in order to achieve what you want.

Well if you failed once try it again and make it better and work harder to avoid failure. But speaking of set backs at work in terms of salary pay cut, i think i should really feel discourage and seeing no chance to progress, i will find another job. But for school works, you have a chance to make urself better and knowlegeable.
Happy posting.

Hello! >>>>>> I don't mind for any setback in my way to progress.It is a temporary phenomenon and I can overcome this with harder works.I know failure is the pillar of success.So why should I mind for it?thanx.

An obstacle will remain an obstacle if we let it remain there. If we take it as a challenge, we'll challenge it to overcome itIt's all about perspective. Although things are always easier said than done, I've observed that if we do not have a proper attitude to handle setbacks or failures, they'll normally eat into us & it will manifest in our daily lives. It's like a rotting fungus or disease, something like thatSetbacks? I just watched Meet The Robinsons, hahaThere's a good moral story behind that

I've been through both and the it's the nature of them and the intensity which have decided whether it has brought out the determination or not. Lesser significant ones have made me determined and i've found the determination help me accomplish a lot. The ones which have hit me hard, i've found difficult and as much as i've tried to be determined, there are times that i find myself being dragged down again. In some instance i've found that life does not give you second chances.

I have been through so many set backs that I don't even recognize them as setbacks. I encounter a problem that needs to be solved and you just keep on trudging through. If you have given up the will to live then you let it get you down. I have two children and I will keep on keeping on. I hope everyone has an easy life and really it is the way you look at life as to whether it is easy or hard.

When I have setbacks I look at it as a changelle and I try to learn from what I did wrong and work harder. It took me a long time to get this way, before when I used to have a setback I would just give up and want to quit but I think as we get older we get a little wiser, and I think the change for me is I got tired of being look at as a quitter.

setbacks are apart of my every day life, Murphy's law is abundant in my house. Any thing that can go wrong most likely will go wrong. Goal setbacks, financial setbacks, work schedule setbacks, payment coming late setbacks, and the list goes on. In the beginning it use to bother me, but now it's just normal. So every day I do whatever I can do and tomorrow is another day.
