WHAT DOES FAILURE TEACH US?


We know failure is one of the most disappointing feelings in life. But have you ever wondered what failure can teach you? Do you just fail and give up or do you take lessons from your failure and move on to succeed? Here are 5 most important things that failure can teach you.

1. Failure teaches you to try hard
So you think you’ve put in a lot of effort to succeed in your new business venture but failed? Well, look around. There are millions of other people fighting to get their businesses off the ground, and they’re all trying hard. What do you learn from failure here? We learn that just trying hard is not enough. To succeed, you need to really work hard and push yourself to the very maximum.

2. Failure teaches you how to avoid mistakes
Let’s imagine that you have a very important presentation at work tomorrow. Your bosses are going to quiz you on the performance of your team. But you fail to deliver a good presentation because you forgot to double check the numbers. What do you learn from failure here? You learn that you will always double check even the tiniest of things before you make a presentation next time, right? Failure shows you the mistakes you can avoid to succeed later.

3. Failure makes you a stronger person
Before we start telling you how failure makes you a stronger person, do you know the fact that The Beatles were rejected by a famous recording company in 1962? That’s right, folks. The Beatles were outright rejected. But did this failure stop them from making music? Nope. They came out as an even stronger band that gained worldwide success. What do you learn from failure of The Beatles here? We learn that when you fail, you are morally devastated. It needs the strength and the courage of a warrior to get back on your feet and succeed. So the next time you fail, draw strength from it and become a stronger human being who is ready to succeed.

4. Failure teaches you to be grounded
Have you noticed how many people become high headed when success comes along their way too easily? But for people who’ve worked for their success and come up from failure, they learn that being humble and grounded is one of the most respected virtues of any successful person. This is one of the most important lessons that failure can teach you.

5. Failure gives you experience
The fact that you’ve failed at something, means that you’ve gained experience in attempting to make something happen. Let’s imagine you tried to apply for a manager’s position in another company, although you have not gathered enough experience to lead a team yet. You try your best in the interview but you get rejected. What do you learn from your failure to get that manager’s job? You’ve gained vital experience of how it feels to give an interview for a manager’s role. So the next time you go to a similar interview, you have experience by your side.


Let's inspire each other......

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth. This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation). During circumcision, the fore skin that covers the head of the penis is cut off and the operated part is treated to heal quickly and to prevent any form of infection. Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...

John XII: The Pope who turned the Vatican to a Whorehouse

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
