You are not the first one to be defeated. You are not the first one to fail. It happens to most of the people who have set goals in life. Let’s take an example, if you want to break a stone and you start hammering it. In first short, it seems like it would never break so your first shot fails. However, if you keep trying you ultimately break it let’s say you break it in 11th hammer. Now you cannot say, that previous 10 hammers were waste and only 11th one was effective. If you would not have hammered it for 10 times, it would have never broken in 11th one too. This is how success is.
I always say:
“Every failure is a small step in the ladder to success.”
Just that you do not give up when you hit failure. Do not compare your condition with others. Do not think that so and so is so successful and I am a failure. You do not know the journey behind his success then how can you compare. Right now what all we can see is the iconic success. We look at Edison as the one who invented Electric Bulb. But very few know that he failed more than 1000 times before he could hit his eureka moment. He said he did not fail 1000 times, he knows now that how not to make an electric bulb in 1000 ways. So you need to know failure happens to everyone. More successful is the person, more is the history of failure you would find behind him. Do not give up your battle when you fail. You need to start again.
