IT IS GUARANTEED YOU WILL FAIL A FEW TIMES

In following you dreams either seeking to work for someone or doing your own thing,

there are chance that you will fail a few times before you can begin to walk perfectly.

Success is not the absolute absence of failure; it is ability to weather the storms and rise

above the tides. Forget seeking a smooth ride in your business or career, it will never
happen. Failure is part of life; it is part succeeding. It is part of learning. Do not be afraid

of failures or making mistakes, it is part of the process. You will make some bad business
decisions, misread forecasts, trust a fraud without doing a proper background check,

over-book an order, Under-supply a demand, fail to meet deadlines etc. It is all a part of

obstacle that makes you fall, and avoid or jump over it in the future. It means each time
you make a mistake, learn a lesson. Do not let the fear of failure cripple you so much that

you are unable to do anything, do not let the blow of failure knock you down so much
that you are knocked out or pass out, and unable to get back on your feet. Your attitude

towards temporary setbacks should be such that each time you are knocked down, you
get back on your feet as quick as you can. But do not just get up and keep moving, pick

something up; learn a lesson! Although you are fallible, do not make the same mistake

twice. Learn from every mistake and improve. Put measures in place to forestall a
re-occurrence. That is how to grow well.

You are not immune from errors, erring is human. We all make mistakes or have missed
it or will miss it at a point. But you can minimize your failures by following standard
