Don’t Be Afraid of Failure - Use it to Attain Success:

 

When you keep failing in your tests, exams, or life, a fear of failure is developed which directly affects your confidence. Don’t be afraid of failure but use it to attain success. How? Let’s see.

Failure is usually a product of our mistakes and errors. When we try a new recipe, and add a little creativity of our own, it is bound to fail on the first try. Why?

When you deviate from a norm, and try to create a new path or recipe it will take time and lots of tries to give a new product. Since you are creative you will develop your own thing and it will be unique to you. Which will sell big time don't believe me, see the life profiles of Walt Disney, and Oprah Winfrey, and yes don't forget about our sweet Albert Einstein who once said, “Failure is success in progress.”

 

Are you a Genius but a Failure?

 

Rich and famous people now were losers in their lives at some point. There is no success without failure. Creative people are the ones who face the most failures in their lives and are under-appreciated, till they become successful, rich, or famous.

So, if you are one of those geniuses who like to do your own thing, keep doing it consistently and improve and grow yourself. Don’t be afraid to hear remarks like “You are a loser.” Those of us who don’t understand you will never appreciate you. Show us your success and we will be your slaves literally.

My creative geniuses! Do you dare to believe in yourself? If yes, success and confidence will be at your doorstep in no time. But remember consistency is the key, why?

 

Be Consistent:

 

According to Thomas Edison people who gave up mid-way faces failure. Edison failed 2774 times before creating a working design of an electric bulb. What if he had left his dream at 2773 attempt? Then someone else would be the father of inventions today.  

History and even our current lives are filled with people who gave up halfway, who were discouraged by someone, and who left their dreams behind. Some of us are still living in "What ifs."

Don’t be one of them and live your life without regrets. Try hard and try consistently for your success. Be like Milton Hershey, founder of Hershey's Chocolate. He worked at a local candy factory until he decided to open his own. But failure punched him in the gut; he returned to his family farm despite two consecutive failures and perfected his milk chocolate candy.

 

How to be consistent for success?

 

If you want to be successful give it your time, effort, patience, and persistence.

Create a schedule and break down your whole project or learning process into levels.

At the start, set some easier-to-accomplish realistic goals, and reward yourself for attaining them.

Make lots of mistakes, but learn from each of them. Record your mistakes and their counterattack.

Try to develop a support system for you. There may be a genius person out there with the same ideals or problems as you. Reach them, and ask for advice.

Be brave and believe in yourself. 

 

Working Hard but still a Failure?

 

Sometimes you have worked hard for your tests, exams, or projects. You are following all instructions and norms but still, you are failing it. Don't lose your heart, hard workers, because no one can achieve success without dedication. You are not the only ones who have it hard in life. Even geniuses have to work hard as well.

You have to "put up with rain" for success, says an American singer Dolly Parton. My dedicated hard workers face the ups and downs of life with positivity. They are making you stronger.

Remember at some point in life a divorced, jobless, and lone parent J. K. Rowling had failed big time. But she kept working hard for herself and her daughter. In Rowling's own words, "So rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." And now we all know her as the author of the famous Harry Potter series, with a ranking of 196^th richest person in the UK. So, if she can do it we can too.

But how can we fail with hard work? It is not the lack of effort that causes the failure but the lack of clear goals and strategy.

 

Be Strategic:

 

Working with dedication leads to success but setting a goal and making intelligent choices leads to quicker success. If you are failing an exam or project change your style of studying/ working, preparing for an exam, and exam-taking strategy.

My hard workers do you know, in the 1970s Toyota cars came into the USA and took over the market with a storm. The US government implemented taxes on imported cars, but that did not stop Toyota and they established their production line on US soil. So, what was their strategy for success?

Toyota studied their weaknesses and blended American strategy with theirs. Their success was due to continuous improvements in operations, decisions, and goals.

 

How to be strategic to get success?

 

The first step of being strategic is not to rush, be you and keep working hard.

Discover your interests and values then set your goals. Make time to explore new ideas and styles.

Set small goals and focus on them, like you have to clean your house while studying, and a part-time job. You will divide each room cleaning on days from Tuesday to Friday (not Monday, since it's the most hectic one) and 2 rest days (that is Saturday and Sunday).

Work hard on the most rewarding task first, for your satisfaction. In the case of studying, choose those who have the most marks in the exam.

Take help from your seniors to understand exam styles, it will greatly help in its preparation.

Keep working hard and be persistent, there is no lock that you can’t open.

Conclusion:

 

In the end, I will only suggest you build a growth mindset, change, grow, and learn through your efforts whether you are a genius or hard worker. Believe that your efforts matter even if they are a failure, they are making you strong. Learn new skills to convert your mistakes into success. Keep trying and ignore those who discourage you. You are brilliant!
