Failure is not a block but a stepping stone to success

Failure is not a block but a stepping stone to success

What is failure and why do we have to face it? Failure is a process in which a person is unable to perform a desired task within a specific time frame. The main reason we face failure is not because we are not interested in that task but we lack patience. Lack of perseverance is the biggest problem bounded by the obligation to do some workout of one’s desire. For instance, parents often decide their children’s career and many kids are unable to cope with the burden. Fearing failure, many end up being depressed.

Depression in children is becoming very common these days. According to one survey, children below the age of 13 have the same mental pressure that people with acute depression had in 1950. The suicide rate in children is increasing more than India’s GDP at 7.9%.

One must know that many great personalities once failed, but their perseverance led them to greater heights in life. Mark Zuckerberg, a college dropout, founded the biggest social networking site Facebook.

Bill Gates is another example. Few know that despite belonging to a financially sound family, Gates never took their help and after his first company failed and left him bankrupt, he bounced back to open Microsoft. He has been adjudged as the richest person of the world several times. As H. Ross Perot said, “Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from winning touchdown.” So never give up!
