The Importance of Failure in the Journey to Success

 Failure defines success. It may sound ironic, but its true. Failure is the first step towards achieving any goal in life. Mistakes and failure are a sign of a fact that you are trying and putting conscious efforts everyday for achieving your goal. Not succeeding in a task, yet having the will and determination to give it a second shot is a route taken by all the successful and determined people in life. People with a never give up attitude have turned out to be achievers in life than vice-versa. Though failing at any step which is directed towards achieving a goal, can be demoralising and demotivating but we also learn from our experiences which strengthens us and motivates us for future attempts. For any individual who is starting as a beginner, the trial and error method is very useful as it is indicative and also acts as a method for self introspection. Success is addictive and can make a person egoistic or overconfident therefore a downfall is important in order to make a person value success. Ups and downs are a part and parcel of life, they help to shape us as a person and our personalities, give us once in a lifetime experiences therefore one should appreciate and learn from all phases of life. While you are succeeding enjoy the feeling of it and if you have encountered failure, don’t undermine it but be glad that you have got another opportunity to perform better than the previous time.
