Failure is behind every success


All success stories are stories of great failures.  The only difference is that every time they failed, they bounced back.  This is called failing forward, rather than backward.  You learn and move forward.  Learn from your failure and keep going.

Henry Ford forgot to put the reverse gear in the first car he made.  Do you consider these people failures?  They succeeded in spite of problems, not in the absence of them.  But to the outside world, it appears as though they just got lucky.

In 1914, Thomas Edison, at age 67, lost his factory, which was worth a few million dollars, to fire.  It had very little insurance.  No longer a young man, Edison watched his lifetime effort go up in smoke and said, "There is great value in disaster.  All our mistakes are burnt up.  Thank God we can start a new."  In spite of disaster, three weeks later, he invented the phonograph.

What an attitude!



can we convert all the failures as stepping stones for success? if yes, then i am sure this tip has played a vital role in your life
