Hi antony2best! It is just natural for us to hate and dislike failing even in the first try or second attempt, etc. We just have to take courage to try and try until we succeed or reach our goal. We should not be discouraged but rather be challenged to do the best. I know it is easier said than done. Failing does not sit well on me too. I hate it. I dislike it and i get disappointed and hurt when I fail. However, if i stop trying then I will never reach my goal. Sometimes in failing, we learn to be stronger and wiser and in failing, we will learn the true joy when we finally find victory. Take courage my young friend. There is no defeat nor shame in failing, only in quitting that we will be defeated. Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

As i'm sure most successful people will tell you, succeeding is full of a lot of trial and error. No-one is perfect, and with that in mind the only way to ever fully succeed is to try, try, and try again. Never give up! As long as you never give up, most people succeed eventually! Most of the "successful people on their first attempt" probably aren't clueing you in on the behind the scenes of what it took to get them there. I'm sure some have gotten lucky with one try but for most that's probably not the case. The only thing you can do with failure as I mentioned earlier is to keep trying, harder and harder until you succeed! The idea here is that through trial and error you'll always learn something new. Whether that new thing is something that will help you get a bigger chance of success, or maybe even help you to know what to avoid next time around. G'luck to you!

Fierst my friend you must to believe in yourself very strongly.To be sure in your way of life and do not think to much but "ACT".You know that the way to success is sometime very long with experience of failure.You must know that if you fail it dasn't mean that you are in the wrong way.Its mean that until now you have not success but you will I'm sure.

Yes I agree to you that some persons have Midas touch and turn everything into gold with just a touch only. But such persons are very few (even less than 1%). On the other hand few are very unlucky also, whom touch may turn even purest of the Gold into the dust. Rest are like us, who are toiling hard to get some average results and I consider myself among these.

NOt everybody.. Those whom failed in the 1st attempt are usually the more succesful ones in later stages of life.. BEcause they have been through hardships and failures.. They know the experience and they learnt from it ^_^ Thus, when they stand up and try again, they are able to do much better ^_^ Or do u prefer to be successful on your 1st attempt, becoming so successful till one day, failure kicks in and u dunno how to handle it, thus resulting being a bankrupt overnight?? Which will u prefer?? haah

I don't believe in failure and I don't believe any one fails unless they give up. What we do is find that the first time we try something is that it didn't work so we have to try a different way. Thomas Edison the man that perfected the light bulb worked with different designs of at least four different people and tried experiments with thousands of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. He didn't look at them as failures but experiments that didn't work. We need to take his example for what we want to do too. If one way or one thing doesn't work try something else but never give up. Giving up is the failure.

Lots of people fail my friends. And probably those whom you know who were successful in their first attempts may have failed in some other things where you were successful. I always see it that they probably are lucky or they actually deserved to get it. I've not been that lucky enough that I get things on the first go. But at least, I know I tried and I did my best. Everyone hates to fail but it could be an avenue for something greater. It could be a blessing in disguise and failing in one could open another opportunity. Stay positive. We are still alive and we have lots of chances.

Well, it depends what you're talking about, Antony. Some things are easy to do straight away - other things take a lot of practice and commitment to be good at. If you go into something new with a positive attitude and tell yourself you're going to succeed, that will help a lot. If you work hard at all the things you try, you will surely find things you are good at - and will be encouraged.
