“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
---Winston Churchill
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Failure is the part of your life. If there is life, there is failure too. If there is life, there is success too. You never deny it. And nobody could ever deny it either. Success and failure are like the two sides of a same coin, where there is success there is failure too. It is like pass and parcel. We can say like day and night.
Enjoy your failure like you enjoy your success.
Welcome it with your open mind and heart.
Treat it as your teacher.
Learn from it.
Improve yourself.
But, never allow it to rule you.
Tame it as your galloping horse.
And march ahead towards the road of your success.
It is very important to face failure in your life before you taste the sweetness of your grand success. It’ll give you more happiness and contentment. However, if you get the sweet taste of success in the very first instance, then you might not face the bitter encounter of your failure later on.
If you face failure in your initial attempt, then you’ll get enough time to adjust and acclimatize yourself and you too able to cope up every harsh situation of your failure. You could prepare yourself right from the very beginning; you could transform yourself from good to better, and from better to best. You’ll become a master of your chosen goals. You’ll able to judge your strong points and weak point. You’ll know everything about yourself. You could awake your hidden skills and talents. You could examine yourself thoroughly. You’ll become more cautious. You’ll become more confident. You’ll gain more self-esteem. You’ll become more discipline. You’ll become more responsible. You’ll grow and mature yourself. You’ll become stronger than what you were in your previous attempts. You’ll become more courageous and valiant than what you were in your past. You’ll make your new plan, different moves and strategies to face the next level of your challenges.
The best part of your failure is to learn new lessons and gain new experiences from it, and improve yourself further.
If you fear of failure, you’ll never do anything right in your life. You’ll never learn anything in your life. And you’ll always remain lacking behind of everybody and everything.
If you fear of failure, it means you fear to try something new. And when you never try to do new things in your life; you’ll never achieve anything in your life; you’ll never change your life; you’ll never bring differences in your life; and you’ll never know the beauties of your life and the thrilling mysteries of this world.
Learn to accept your failures as your victory.
Take it as your learning experience.
Take it as your new challenge.
Take it as your new ways.
Take it as your new approach.
Take it as your new turning point.
Take it as your new opportunity.
Take it as your new transformation.
But never give up your trying.
When Thomas Alva Edison failed many times in his experiments, at that time one of his friends asked him, “You failed so many times, why don’t you stop your experiments?”
In reply Thomas Alva Edison said, “I found a thousand of new ways in my every failure.”

When a small kid put its first step on the ground, it too falls down countless numbers of times. It tries to sit on its back; then it tries to get up itself; it tries to crawl itself; it tries to stand up itself; and finally it tries to walk itself. In every moment of its initial step, a small kid falls down many times, but at the same time it learns the lessons of how to walk properly itself. But it never gives up until it wouldn’t learn to walk and running properly.
I still remembered very clearly the days when I started to learn the bicycle riding for the first time. I had fallen down many times, and got bruises on my face, injured my hands, elbows, knees and legs. But every time I fell down, I learned new lessons and new technique about riding bicycle, and I tried to improve myself every day. Many onlookers laughed at me when I fell down on the road. Even some of them advised me to stop riding bicycle. However, I didn’t quit learning my bicycle riding, because I knew that I could ride bicycle like my other friends. I corrected my every shortcoming of riding bicycle, and after couple of months I learned my bicycle riding like an expert cyclist. And then what, every morning and evening I went out on my bicycle while talking with the whizzing wind.

Initiate your work with fresh mind. Set up your work with innovative ideas. Take full opportunity of it, and go for it with full preparation and enthusiasm. You’ll surely find your success on the way, waiting for you with grin.
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.”
---Michael Jordan
If you want to learn the great lessons of life, then never run away from your failures. Face your failures like a brave soldier.

We all learn everything while falling down and facing bitter failure in our life. This is the law of this world. You’ve to accept it.

Once upon a time, a defeated king named Robert Bruce, who lost his all battles and lost his kingdom, escaped his life and wandered hither and thither, and hid himself inside the cave in the jungle. He was very sad and deserted, and lost his all hopes, spending his days and nights in despairs for many days.
Then one fine day, when he was lost in his wandering thoughts, he saw a tiny spider, which was trying to knit its web from the one end of the cave wall to the other end. The tiny spider failed every time it tried to knit its web. But it didn’t give up. It tried again and again even after failing countless numbers of times. Finally, after many tiresome failures, it knitted its web successfully with the other end of the cave wall.
The king Robert Bruce got enlighten while witnessing the grits of a tiny spider. He took the lesson from it, and then he resumed his fresh attempts to conquer his lost kingdom and glory.
And at the end he too won back whatever he had lost.
