Success & Failure are like......................

Failure is Only a Comma, not a Full Stop

Success is like a beautiful woman who may go away at any time, but
failure is like a mother who will be with you forever and teaches you
many lessons.

Success is the sweetest word in the world. Failure is the hardest word
in the world. But both are essential for a meaningful and successful
life. While failure teaches many lessons success keeps you moving
forward.

Abraham Lincoln's Failures:

"Failure should not alienate you and success should not elevate you"-


Leaders like Abraham Lincoln are an inspiration and motivation for the
people who fail miserably in life. He set an excellent example in
getting along with failures and became the first Republican President
of America. Whenever any individual faces failures look at this
American legend who faced maximum failures successively for many
years. Yet he demonstrated his dogged determination and iron will to
prove the world that anything and everything is possible at any age
provided lessons from the failures are well learnt.

Success - By Result:

Success should never be treated as an end result rather it should be
treated as a by result. You need to put in efforts and energies
regularly with a view of loving to do the job. When efforts are
sustained and focused for a longer time, success is sure to wed. In
Mahabharata epic, Lord Krishna rightly said,

'Do your duty and don't look for results'.

When you look everything from success perspective, there is bound to be frustration as you focus more on success rather on your efforts. When you focus more on efforts not on results then success is sure to touch your toes.

Move in Matrix:

You need to move in a matrix. Life is all about numbers. You need to
change the strategies that do not work properly. You need to align
your strategies to reach your goals. In life, there are two things to
be stressed upon – one is internal environment and the other is
external environment.. Mostly, failure is the result of the factors
and forces prevailing in the external environment. When you face
failure as a result of the influence of external environment you do
not have to regret. When you face failure as a result of internal
environment you need to take a quick look at the strategies that did
not work.

You need to accept the blame, change the strategies that are
feasible and possible and move forward with energy and enthusiasm. If
you see the big and broad picture even some of the problems arising
out of external environment can be anticipated and checkmated to avoid
any fiasco. But it requires a typical and extraordinary mindset
crafted from rich experience.

Examine Failures:

When faced with failures just think whether you failed in the same way
by applying similar strategies. In that case you stand out to be a
fool who do not learn lessons from your failure. If you failed
differently there is no cause for concern because you tried to work
out different strategies towards success and the same did not work
out. Therefore, examine the failures critically and creatively to
learn lessons and accordingly change strategies for achieving success.

Love, Success and Age:

Love and success has nothing to do with age. Anyone can love at any
age and anyone can succeed at any age. If you have a big heart, love
can blossom regardless of age. Similarly, if there is will power,
success can be acquired by turning around failure regardless of age.

Failure – A Comma, Not A Full Stop:

If you say that you have not failed, that means you have never tried.
If you say that you have failed that means you are mature to admit
that you tried and learnt lessons. It is folly to blame the fate for
all your mistakes. As a human being it is necessary to put in best of
your efforts and energies unmindful of the results. Over a period of
time, success does not become a by result but an end result.

To conclude, failure is only a comma, not a full stop. You can turn the
tide towards success with your passion. & ambition.
