Failure in our life strikes everywhere, anytime or intentionally through our mistakes. Can you realize or determine it before happened so that we can avoid it. Some are caused much to our life that push us to think a suicidal act. Are you experienced in your life failure but you tried to overcome to make it success? Are you considered failure in our life a challenge or pain that you cannot bear it? Whether in love life, business, decission, family life and others failure always there, can we avoid it or can we minimize only. Share to us your views about this..

The good and bad things are everywhere. Whenever we try to avoid it they will keep following us. It just us to make it either the good or the bad. The good can turn to the bad an vice versa without we even noticed about it. Same goes to failure. There is the positive behind the failure and it is normal to get failed in somethings or everything. We will not know what is the success if we do not know what failure is right?

I like your last part of your comments "we will not know what is the success if we do not know what failure is" This is a good way to change our view about failure or failed, some they say stepping stone, challenge which all are correct if failure treated as that way.

First and foremost it is important to define 'failure' Some will aim for the moon and if they don't reach there, they will call it failure. We have to first see whether we have the capability to achieve our goal and what one does to reach there. If after doing all what is required to be done that might look like a failure but we all know that failure is a stepping stone to success.

Yeah for some of us they considered stepping stone, ladder but for others who stopped they are totally failed. your right determining what our goal is one factor and be prepared for that to avoid failure.

Hi visavis, I don't think that anyone is a failure in life. It all depends on how we look at success and failure. Some of us could never make good business people, it's just the way we are, but does it make us a failure? Some are good teachers, but if we don't have an interest in teaching, we should not go into that profession. We are all good at something and even those who appear failures to us, have made some contribution and is not a failure. Blessings.

Hi again visavis, No life is a failure. Even though the person should not be a teacher, he has grown from the experience and no doubt helped others. After a few years, he may leave the profession and move to another where he will be happier. He was not content as a teacher, and could not have done the job as well as someone who loved working with children and young people, but he did gain from the experience. Blessings.

As I understand to your comments you can determine early the symptom of failure based on your examples. I see the ideas that if your not love for teaching why you are going for that (yeah preventing a possible failure). what if you take such profession and completed only the time your not happy on that - what we call it? Failure or what?

Somtimes you won't see failure coming to you. Sometimes it's right there beside you ready to bite you but you still won't see it since you're focused on other things. I've failed so many times just because of poor judgment but I never wanna fail because I didn't see it coming. That's worse in my opinion.

I think everyone of us don't want failure, instead success is always in our focus and in mind, but as you said sometimes we are in a poor judgment and decision that's why failure. But some said failure can avoid, a challenge are you experience it.
• Philippines

Yep, if you avoid the challenge, you're well on your way to failure. Challenge is always incorporated with success. If you take the challenge, you'll reach success.

Based on your comments, you mean to say if you want to succeed in our endeavor we must challenge something, Am I correct?

Hello visavis, In life whatever we do have 2 aspects we get success or we get fail to accomplish that work.Therefore we should understand it that failures are the part of our life and its not necessary that we always do get success. There are methods to minimize these failures but there is no guarantee that you won't fail. Some of the methods like experience,skill enhancement through trainings but then in LOVE,family life you have to apply your own knowledge or experience to combat failures there is no sort of training which anyone can provide you. We can conclude that we cannot avoid failures but only can minimize it as always there is probability of 50% to get success in any work/relation.

Yes I agree on that but I don't think you can realize or determine it before happened in my experienced mostly after happened.I experience a lot of failure in my life but I always think positive and trust in God to cope up everything.I considered failure in my life is a challenge not pain if you can accept it.Just remember that failure is the key to success. So don't give up keep going until you success.

Yes your correct for trying and trying but did not put in your mind questioning why always happening to me this? Or may be we or you need to evaluate the situation and asking where and why always failure. So that next time you rise again you will not fail instead achieve the goal. what do you think in my ideas my friend?

HI visavis well I already try so many times if I fail, I try and try and try until I achieved my goal I never give up bcoz if you give up for one failure you are a loser. there is no harm in trying right?

Well, failure is the result of stubborn-mindedness, one's failure to listen to the advise of the experienced like parents and teachers or people who had been there and done that. Very often young people believe they know everything and the advice of their elders are not necessary. Well, they are hugely wrong. Those who do not heed to the advise of the wise and the experienced are bound to fail. Make no mistake about this.

It is good definition of failure the result of stuburn-mind which related to advice of others that not apply in our life, good point of view. Which I think most of us are concern this because we are sometimes stubburn.

There is no real failure if you think about it. Okay it is given that failure exists but your life does not stop there. The people who were successful are those who dare to take failures and look at it as opportunities to grow and learn. If you give up living and give up on your trials that is when is when failure sets in. Everything is all in your mind if you think you can or you think you can't.

In your comments I agree my friend given that you said people who were successful are those dare to tahe failures. what do you think those people of being perfectionist are those experienced failures?

Hi! I believe that everybody has experienced to fail in life, either in big or small things. It is something none of us want, but sometimes it's inevitable. What I do to minimize the chance of me getting failure is I try to evaluate every situation carefully. I would consider not only the positive things that may happen but prepare myself as well for the negative ones. THey say that it's better to be optimistic. But I say it's better to consider reality of life. And when failure still comes, I just accept it though hard and try to strive harder next time and learn a lesson from it. That way, I can further minimize the risk of doing the same mistake again. Happy day!

It seems your ideas here is the same in one of your comments to my discussion. Anyway your correct evaluation of the situation if the key here.. that we should learn for our next move to minimize failures

I've experienced many failures in my life. I always try to evaluate why I failed. I try to learn from each failure I do. Sometimes I do them again because the beginning doesn't look like the last one as I countinue learning my lesson I discover that i will do it again. Then it is better to evaluate the options before even starting something.

That's really a great topic.. In my life, I experienced failures number of times due to my carelessness,and acts in anything without knowing the seriousness.. I realized my mistakes which has been made by me in my personal life... Due to my carelessness i made so many wrong decisions and now struggling to make it correct. God's grace everything is going good now.. After realized my mistakes that due to my carelessness.. I can say in my life's experience failures are caused by carelessness.. But i am almost succeeded more than 90% in the dispute which i get caught unnecessarily.. So i never do the any mistake once again in my life.. So it is possible to change the failure as success depend up on the issue :) Your post just made me to turn back and make me to watch the things happened in my life.. Thanks dude !

Failure is such a negative word. I really don't consider failure as literally failing. The one I considered as failure is when someone actually failed and then suddenly repeated or duplicated the same failure. I always take first time failure as experience. During my immature days, I also felt heavy whenever I fail the first time that sometimes I hesitate to try again on certain things. But maturity gets the best of me now that I see failure in a different light. I see failure now as part of life and something positive to move forward. Dare to fail!

Actually not really get your definition of failure against fail but in other points you are correct and I think normal. The best part on you is not stop there when something failed instead it is become a ladder to go on. the only caution there is your not always in focus if your mind is having there is another try to success. I think to avoid that from the start focus on the success not in the second chance.
• Philippines

Yes, maybe I am quite vague with my phrases. I mainly focus on not hesitating to try. I think that trying is a crucial step to success that's why failing on the first try is not a real failure for me. At least you tried even if you failed and that is great development. I am concerned with this because a lot of people are afraid to fail and hence hesitate to even try. That attitude, for me, can be considered as a failure already. I just give credit due to those who dare to try. I think trying to do something is focus on making success, but if the result failed I would not consider it as failure if you learned something from it and eventually avoid the mistakes that you have made along the way.

Actually your right if your not success in your way but you have courage to continue until you achieve it the first part is not failure, it will considered challenge because tried to overcome such failure. Now I realize the real meaning ot failure is if you stop in your first try, your totally failed. thanks my friend

In life, there are risks that we have to take. In whatever part of life, in all that we do, all have a possibility of failing. No matter how small or great that possibility to failure is... we have our natural tendency to take risks and believe that if we want something we can achieve it... But then again, life has its own way of teaching us lessons... One of this is by failures. Failures exist if the chance for success wasnt for us at that time. We fail maybe because we deserve something better than that... We fail not because we are weak but because we are intended to be strong and to try better again next time.

What do you think how many tries if your attempts are failed to check ourselves or to achieve certain success?

Don't think of failure as a negative thought, make it become positive. Thomas Alva Edison, the greatest inventor failed 10,000 times to create a light bulb. But he did not said it was a failure, instead he said "I did not fail 10,000 times to create a light bulb, I found 10,000 ways how to not create a light bulb." failure is a thing that makes you keep moving forward. You failed when you gave up.

Everything happens with a reason. If we fail,there is always a reason why it happens and why it has to happen either. Sometimes we failed because we did not exert our best to reach what we wanted. Lack of enthusiasm is one reason due to over confident. Lack of enough funds because we underestimate what we expect. Too many reasons...but one thing I can say is,we learn something from everything. We learn from failures and we learn from success. What matters most is,we should always keep rising with each fall and keep our feet on the ground for every achievements. have a great weekend jaiho®

Hi friend, well i would like to give you a recent example of failure of mine, on Friday i had came from my class and i got a good job in a financial planning company and iam starting from monday, but i had given my graduation exams and the results were little delayed because of new system of check on Friday evening when results were announced i got a fail option my heart just shook i didnt understand what to do at the moment i was very depressed and started crying, but as the day passed now iam little fine and have made my mind to move on. Failure is very disgusting if we look it in a negative way, it is nothing but a stepping stone to success, i felt pain in the beginning but now i have made my mind that such things happen in life and we should be prepared for such stuff, Failure of success we should give this all in the hands of God.

Hello my friend as you said part of our life meaning wheter you like it or not it will happened, like what I said strikes anywhere. But is there any possible to avoid it if we can put an extra careful in our discision - what do you think?

Failures are part of everybody's life. We can't avoid them but we can accept them and learn from them positively. I guess my biggest failure in life is when my parents separated ways because my younger brother suffer the consequences more and I pity them BUT that's life...we have to move on and fight. Smile and make the world a better place to live in for my children....they are my future now.
