Failures

A lot has been said about failures and has been said in a positive and motivational way. There is no doubt that failures are not hurdles but is a guiding star towards the path of success. It is impossible to find a single person in this entire world who has not tasted failures. Yes, it might happen that there might be few in the waiting line yet to taste the fruit of success, but failures have given their share to each one.

The multiple falls we have as a child before learning to walk, the sweet stammer a child has before beginning to speak, the crooked lines we have made before learning to write are all small trailers of failures we have witnessed. They are just glimpses of the failures one might have to keep witnessing as long as life is there.

Sometimes I feel failures are more loyal than success because you would find them everywhere and everytime much much before success. Success is rare but failures are common. So why worry about something that is so common? I wonder why do we get so scared by failures though they have actually been our true friend and guide throughout in our journey of life. I like to call failures  as friend and guide because they are always with you showing where you made an error like a true friend and will steer you in the right direction like a perfect guide. Failures are very right and just too. No discrimination of any kind. It will be there as soon as you give it room to be there.

However, the good part is that they always come to direct you towards success. You have to just look into its eyes and say to yourself that you are not giving up. You just have to look at it more carefully and work once more equipped with all the lessons it has taught you though it is the hard way. If you pay attention, you will agree that not a single failure fails to teach an important lesson. It is only our duty that we dissect and determine the course that took us to the juncture of failure and next time we determine a better, a newer and a different course of action that shall definitely and invariably lead us to success.

Apart from all of the above facts, it is also important to understand that just as darkness teaches us the value of light similarly failures teach us the value of success. Without failures, we wouldn't have enjoyed our success. Failures also come bringing along the chance to instill in ourselves the value of hard work, introspection, humbleness, perseverance, patience and strong will.

So just as it is said, failures are the stepping stones to success give failures its due respect and get up once again and success will not be far.
