How do you deal with your failures?

the good thing about failure is that you can see who's the real person that you are with. whenever you are down, someone is there to get you back up, or if not gives you advise to help you back up. i am in a great depression right now and i can see who really is in your side, really there when you are at your worst. sadly, only 1 is there and its not a family member.

well, we just have to sit down, relax and analyze things. given that all these failures happen we have to internalize and ask ourselves "what else can we do to remedy the situation?",,, "then is there something else we can do for damage control?".. if there's none, we really have to face it and moving forwards, "what shall I do to avoid committing or encountering these things again?" ... look for self improvement.. and more importantly, ask help from others when necessary. if you think you need help from friends or family members, don't hesitate to do so. and always remember, we grow stronger for each "failures" we encounter. :)

my self-worth defines failure to me as a person. it stays with me, and i dwell on the failures a long time. i am a perfectionist and have to learn to except failure, which is so hard to do. we all make mistakes. we learn from some, others we don't. it is a lifetime process to accept failure into my life.

Failure is a great opportunity to learn something. Sometimes one needs to take a break, rest and think about what can be learned. Going all the time isn't a good thing. Stop, smell a few roses and reflect. We all have the power to choose what we deem important in this world. Failure is no more than a learning experience. It means nothing other than that. Ah, but those roses along life's path, they make it all worth while.

Take them as a mentor who would make strong,to be able to stand when pain and hardship fall me down,a mentor that could lead me to make myself to win the battle and able to survive when everything went wrong.... Happy myLotting!

I tend to sulk for a little while and rant about it.. really childish; i get everything out... that's how i calm down, then i go back to my optimistic little self and look forward to the future and try my best to not fail again

Hi, setsuna26. I would just pray to God about anything that is making me very depressed. And, I would calmly and irrationally think hard about what I failed at. At first I may beat myself up about it. But after that, I just learn to deal with my failure in a mature and an intelligent way. I try not to blame others especially if they are not the cause of my failures.

Whenever I fail the first thing that I do is to contemplate the funny side of my failure. The second is to forget the failure and return to what I've been doing (given that I have a deadline to meet). If I want to calm down, I take a peek outside the window at the flying doves, the cats and dogs that regularly appear in our backyard. I then give myself a rejuvenating sleep. Something like the combination of these will surely help.

Each failure of mine brought with it a great opportunity to learn. I always viewed failure as lifeblood of success. Failures are the stepping-stones for greater success. I believe that the freedom to failure also extend me a freedom to innovate.

I make myself reflect for some moments. Usually it takes more than 5 hours for me to reminisce what wrong thing have I done. Thus, whenever I can point out what has been done wrong, I make it sure that I should refrain from doing it. I do not really disappoint myself much whenever I feel like I do mistakes because they are normal. If I do, it only makes me feel like I'm stranded in the ugly provisions of life. It takes optimism to deal with your failures. That should always be the matter to move on and change.

I pray for more strength, that I may be able to stand up after all my failures. I will think of failures as my opportunity to correct the wrong.

sometimes we did the same failure in our life. i think we should just ignore it because the life must keep go on. pray to god and learn from our failure hopefully it will not happen again:)

actually today im dealing with the failing grade i got from one of my subject in BS Electronics Engineering, the subject is Engineering Electromagnetics, but still i never lose hope that i will pass this subject this summer, i pray and every time i do so i feel comfortable. Praying is the best strategy i know to fight failures!

If i fail, i can try again when there is another chance to make things successful. I just believe and trust to myself. Failures let us see what our weakness are. Just believe to your self that you can do it and you will never fail again, and learn to accept that being failure is not the end, however, it is the hint to start over again for you to succeed. When there is a failure, i seek for myself to be whole again and think positive.

Charge your failures to expirience, don't hold a vigil over them--yesterday ended last night.

I think only success is not teach us.. but failure also teach us.. why we failed.. because we didn't done our best.. i think.. if you try to do your best from your heart then one day you will get success surely.. so i also try this in my life.. because many times i also failed in many fields of my life.. but again and again i tried.. and at the end i get success.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

No used to sulk. You cannot change the past anyway. Just learn the lesson, move forward, not to let it happen again then aim to succeed.

I just pray and seek the help from my family and friends. This helps alot because they can help you to feel good after all the failures you have gone through.

well im a very calm person and whenever i fail i just laugh and pick my self up and i think that my failure is just a learning experience that i should have ^^

When I fail at something, I tend to blame myself. Sometimes I get so down and depressed, but then, there's the inner me saying: "Hey, it's not the end of everything. Heads up and cheer up! You can do better next time." After I got over the feeling, I reflect on what did I do wrong then I use those as guidelines to help me accomplish the task. Failures makes people stronger. Don't be afraid to fail. It's human nature. It gives us a purpose to improve and is a great challenge to ourselves if we can do it right the next time.
