What is Failure?

 


  What is the first thing that crosses your mind when you hear the word "failure"? It's an inevitable part of life. It's disappointing. It hurts but believe it or not, it's necessary. Even this blog still has an error but it has to fix it as soon as possible. Some people are afraid of failing as if it makes them less committed, less intelligent, or less qualified if they slip up. So what is the definition of failure? Why it is necessary for our life?

  When we think about failure, we always think about things in a negative way. We can say that failure is painful and that it causes emotional upset, regret, and remorse. Nobody is born perfect. As humans, we are destined to make mistakes. There is no big or small mistake, it is about we face it. That is what successful people do. In fact, it cuts deep like a razor, slicing its way to our inner heart. Yet, it's necessary. 

  In life, it's necessary to fail. Everyone has faced failure, but the difference between people who end up succeeding and people who don't know how they react to their failures. Each time we fail, we need to find out two things. Why we failed and how we rebound. Let's have a look at some of the many reasons why failure is a good thing.

  Failure means challenging yourself. Nowadays we are habituated to our comfort zone that we forget that the real world growth happens when we challenge ourselves. Failure doesn't totally mean we failed at something. It means we need to challenge ourselves more on that project. A failed business project? DOESN'T MATTER!! try to understand the industry more and see what's the future hold next time. So, next time when you think of yourself as a failure in something, try to give it a fresh perspective.

  Failure means experience. What happens when we fail? When we go through something and can walk away with firsthand experience, it helps us to develop a deeper understanding of life. We may say it is a truly an invaluable experience in life. The artist who is good at drawing anything has to fail a thousand drawings until it finds the light. 

  Failure leads to your success. After you've failed enough times, you are better, stronger, and full of great quality that everyone around you can see. People who give up after failing don't succeed in life. It's just another chance after all. Your failure can guide you in the best way about the right approach you should follow to get what you want. However, once you fail, you know what mistakes to avoid, and that's an added advantage. 

  Life is full of challenges and isn't always fair. Even if something happens, we can't control it. All we can do is accept it and acknowledge that it happened and had an effect on our success. If you want the fastest success, fail more often. Hopefully, you've learned something new from this article. Thank you and have a nice day 😀.

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart...

About Telekinesis

    Have you ever dreamed to able moving objects around with your mind, like in a film? The power of telekinesis has captured the imagination of scientists, psychics, and fiction writers for centuries unproven by science.   So what is the definition of telekinesis? Telekinesis or psychokinesis refers to the alleged ability to move objects with the power of the mind or willpower, without physical interaction.   Telekinesis is from the Greek words, tele means "distant" and kinesis means "movement". If we combine together, it refers to the apparent ability to move physical objects using only the mind and without any physical interaction.   The idea of telekinesis has been in the imagination of fiction writers for ages, allowing the characters to demonstrate telekinetic abilities to move objects, restrain opponents, and levitate for dramatic effect.   However, many have claimed to have telekinetic abilities and believe that telekinesis is possible, but no one h...
