One frightening truth about failures which fetches success


“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.”

JK Rowling, Harvard Commencement Address, 2008

Imagine you’re the head of a top mobile company. You’re selling thousands of mobiles a day. But boom. A technical hitch has started triggering explosions in the phones manufactured by your company.

Your choices?

A: You can gather all the employees and go on a rage and do little to think about the ways that can keep your company on the rails.

B: Or instead of ruminating over the problem you can lift your head up to discuss about the different problem-solving options.

The only difference?

Option A isn’t going to undo the damage while the option B can minimise it and keep your company in business.

The same option-oriented approach is equally vital when it comes to overcoming the hiccups that you undergo on your academic and career course. You have the choice of burying your face in sadness or you can rise up and think about ways that can render your failures irrelevant.

Of course, the second approach isn’t easy. Of course, the second approach isn’t free of pain or toil.

But isn’t the case so with the first approach as well?

So it turns out that the correct approach to snatch success despite failures is to figure out options that can dismiss the predicament instead of fixating on the problem and refusing to see the light.

When you fail, you have a choice. The choice of cursing your luck and remaining in the ditch or the choice of climbing out of the situation and rising up to success. Both of them are tough, but taking positive action has the promise to fetch you joy.

No matter what you do, 1 brutal and beautiful truth is that some failures are inevitable on the road of life.

It can be our failure of winning lady love. It can be our failure of earning a 6-figure income. It can be our failure of securing high grades in academics.

Whatever, if we dwell on the misfortune and don’t focus on problem-solving options, success is going to miss us.

Be prepared to fail. And be more prepared to make a comeback.

“Fall seven times, stand up eight.”

Japanese Proverb

6 astonishing tips to wake you up fresh and energetic

For quite some time, and especially after my mother whispered goodbye to this fleeting world, I’m having difficulty waking up fresh and energetic. Yes, you might say that waking up with that cloggy feeling in mornings is pretty general, but if due to them your normal work is skidding off the rails? The alarm bells begin to ring, bang, pound. And if you snooze, you lose. You have to wake up. Well, first joining a gym and racking my bones to the point of cracking appeared clever. I reasoned that this way I’ll fall asleep as I threw myself on the bed. Good idea? But this required a heck lot of time and effort. Going to and from gym, managing office and personal work – all this appeared a little beyond the time and energy at my disposal. (Additionally, I hate sad and crappy music played in these places. Isn’t it true that all that we expose ourselves to – knowingly or unknowingly – has a bearing on our thinking?) Second I thought of purchasing some physical exercising ma

A truly eyewatering advice from Lord Buddha for joy

Image
“Your worst enemy cannot harm you As much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, No one can help you as much, Not even your father or your mother.” Lord Buddha A simple thing that can turn us highly productive is that we must train ourselves to guard our thoughts. If every moment we’re guarding our thoughts optimally, if every moment we’re true in doing justice with our cognitive capabilities and blessings, the success we dream about isn’t going to evade us for that long. The problem with us is that we’re lazy, rest-loving folks, and doing justice with our blessings is no easy feat. This is because we have entangled ourselves in bad, unproductive thoughts, and therefore we find ourselves backing out when it comes to using our blessings optimally. The ugly truth is that we have chained ourselves in clutter and frivolity: The clothes we want to wear at the party Why is she hanging around with that guy so often…is there a romantic story brewing up? He never
