Turn Failure Into Success

According to Roger Von Oech who said "Most people think of success and failure as opposites, but when they are actually products of the same process." But when you come to think of it, it is failures that give meaning to success. Wherever you have success, there is bound to be failure. The two go together. It is failure that draws out the best that within us. It is failure that unfolds, unlocks our hidden powers. In the measure in which we face failures in the right spirit, in that measure that the tremendous power that lies locked up within us is unfolded.

Someone asked Dada J. P. Vaswani that "why do we have failures at all?" "Why did God not create a World in which there was only success?" What a wonderful World it would be!" It is only when a person bears failures with faith and courage that he gives the best proof of character that anyone can give. Failure has a place in life. It is very necessary that even as success is not permanent, failure is not permanent. Do not forget that failures are not final. You fail only when you accept failure as final. Always think of failures as stepping-stones to success, not stopping stones to success.
