Converting Failure into Success!


Take failures as challenges and convert them into successes.

Managers fail only when they give up; those who persevere will finally succeed.

You should always try to learn a lesson or two from each failure and try to correct it in your next attempt. This is the only way to handle failures.

Failure doesn’t mean end of life, keep trying the things after learning from last failure.

It is unfortunate that in societies obsessed with success and achievement, failure can be made to feel like the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. 

Steps to avoid failure:

  1. Expect mistakes: No one in world is perfect, you should always ready to expect mistake in achieve goals. 
  2. Be motivated: Remind yourself that you are good enough to achieve the target goals.
  3. Don’t bother other’s negative views: Don't obsess about what others are thinking; their criticism reflects their own inadequacies.
  4. Review what your failure has taught you.
  5. Focus on trying again: Keep trying; persistence does pay off.


People who found success despite failures:

Colonel Sanders : The founder of KFC. He started his dream at 65 years old! He got a social security check for only $105 and was mad. Instead of complaining he did something about it.

He thought restaurant owners would love his fried chicken recipe, use it, sales would increase, and he’d get a percentage of it. He drove around the country knocking on doors, sleeping in his car, wearing his white suit.

Do you know how many times people said no till he got one yes? 1009 times!

Walt Disney: The man who gave us Disney World and Mickey Mouse. His first animation company went bankrupt  He was fired by a news editor cause he lacked imagination. Legend has it he was turned down 302 times before he got financing for creating Disney World.

Albert Eistein: He didn’t speak till he was four and didn’t read till seven. His parents and teachers thought he was mentally handicapped. He only turned out to win a Nobel prize and be the face of modern physics.

Thomas Edison: No list of success from failures would be complete without the man who gave us many inventions including the light bulb. He knew failure wouldn’t stop him.

If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
