A lot of successful business people says that failure is part or necessary steps to success. But, they failed to tell everyone how they felt from the time they failed to the time they got back on their feet. Did they say "Oh, I failed, I'm not worried..."? I'm just curious. How well do you handle failure?

Most of the time... I have thoughts of...
Oops... I failed... I su*ked!!!
and would never try recovering till I find and think what's wrong on what I've done. after I thought about my mistakes... I would get up double the confidence because I've learn from my mistake and if ever I fail again... I'll just think of my wrongs again and that's about it... just goes around.

I guess you're the type of person that doesn't give up easily, and that is good. But, I hope you succeed after one lesson.

Praying. That is something that I haven't done in awhile. Your right. It helps. Answers were always provided when I pray.

I think failure and success are a part of life.There are very few people who have always tasted success or faliues.Instead of getting discouraged after seeing faliure we should try much harder to succeed.We should get more and more determined not to fail again.
Personally whenever something bad happens to me initially I need some time to digest the failure. And then I try much harder and with much more determination.As you have mentioned we should take failures as steps which take us to success.It should be taken as a path to be successful in life.

i think i will feel very sad at the initial stage, but then i will encourage myself to learn from the mistake so that i won't repeat my mistake again. I will tell me this is a good chance to learn. I don't know whether it is really applicable to everyone, but at least it can calm down my mood and make me feel better.

It is very important to learn something from our failures, then we may improve. You're right we must calm down in order to move on. thanks.
