 I know you are probably thinking,How dare he ask that ,Yes I know we are all afraid of failing ,That's very true ,Now let's see.You failed your final exams ,You didn't get the job that you wanted and your relationship ended painfully,Your Visa application was denied and for these reasons you feel like killing yourself ,Well Congratulations . Before we continue I want you to know that before I was also very afraid of failure until I realized the truth which is failure is actually one of our biggest friends .Don't get me wrong ,Success is fantastic no doubt but failure is what gives you that extra drive to make it in life. Failure brings out the following characteristics in you ,Humility,Self-Examination ,Self-Realization and my favorite part ,Failure can bring you closer to God because most of us become more religious when things are not working out for us.You see failure teaches us so many things about ourselves but only if you are smart enough to learn .So don't get angry when you fail because your anger is blocking the lesson to be learned .Failure equals new possibilities in life that you didn't expect and in life you can't expect everything to go your way .All you need do is put your best into what you are doing and let go.Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn .There are so many stories of successful people failing all over and over again until they made it .You have to realize that if you aren't Afraid of failure and you learn from your failures,You can literally fail your way to success because a wise man once said "Even a broken clock is right twice a day ".
