As much as we try to stop failure we keep failing more and more. All people can do with failure is to fail better. Samuel Beckett once said, “Try again. Fail again. Fail better”. People try and try at a task and do not succeed, but they fail better at that task. Continual failure is good for a person because each time they fail they become better at the task they failed at. Sometimes one may not be able to fail better, but instead continually make the same mistakes over and over. Jim Rohn once said, "Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day." People repeat the same mistakes every day of their lives. These mistakes are usually minor, but this does not mean that they cannot be major mistakes. Continual Failure is not a single event, but continual failure can lead to one cataclysmic event.
In the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, Count Olaf chases after three kids and their fortune. Count Olaf makes many mistakes in attempting to capture the children and is never able to capture them or their money. Count Olaf’s mistakes eventually lead to his death. Count Olaf’s continual judgment errors, repeated in his plans to capture the children, caused him to never accomplish his goals of receiving the children’s fortune. Have you ever continually failed at something? Have you ever failed better?
Yes I have continually failed and eventually learned over time I was making the same mistakes and being stupid. People just have to accept that they are wrong if they continually fail and learn from their mistakes to succeed.
ReplyDeleteYes, I also have failed over and over before. It can be a very positive thing though, because once you realize that you keep failing at something in specific, it opens your eyes to see that maybe what you are trying to do isn't what you're meant to do.
