If you have never failed, you have never lived!

Hiya,

Today, somehow, I ended up digging up about failures. Maybe I was looking for something inspirational. I'm like a random crawler jumping from subject to subject and never focus on one thing :P

We are social animals. We aren't perfect, but we are very intelligent. Every single moment in your life has an effect on the point in life where you are today. We all make mistakes, not one, but too many. Don't let the bad experiences, embarrassment, guilt or whatever get in the way of becoming the person whom you dream to be; to succeed in life.

A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience. -Elbert Hubbard-

Don't take failure as a negative thing. Learn from it, and think it a a stepping stone to success. Who hasn't failed? I have failed, but that doesn't stop me from trying again and again. :)

Success is failure turned inside out.
Thought I'd share these interesting clips. Get inspired and start turning your failures inside out. Who knows what you might discover.

  4. "But remember, the brick walls are
    there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us
    a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the
    people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people." Last lecture by Randy Pausch

    I believe this is very true and once the realization hits you that these 'brickwalls' are there to make us live as you'v put it can be a profound experience..

    I'v always believed that if something doesnt break you it can only make you stronger..and we need these set backs in life to keep us in check to keep us going and to keep us living..

    you know to keep that flame of life alight..that wonderment and the will to live .. and not merely exist as ppl who go through the motions of existence ...without really 'living'
