We get motivated by success stories, but we ignore the efforts that gets
in to making those; we ignore the mid night lamps that are burnt; we ignore the
pressure of expectations that one goes through; we ignore the kind of work
ethics, patience and resolve that it needs to succeed.
The first step in success is to
understand that you can fail. You are allowed to make mistakes and you will
make mistakes. It's about how you manage those failures that will decide your
success.
Learn to embrace the failure because this will make your life easier.
World's biggest successes
wouldn't have earned this name and fame had they given up soon. We wouldn't
have heard about JK Rowling had she taken failure of Harry Potter by 12
publishing houses, we wouldn't have heard about Dr. Kalam had he given up
against the adversities he faced, we wouldn't have heard about Jack Maa had he
taken failing in jobs to his heart. Imagine their plight when they
failed. Success is not built overnight. You have to be mentally strong to
bear the failure.
From our childhood we are taught that success is integral but no one
teaches us that we can fail and what should we do when failure comes? We are
running a rat race where those who get behind just lag behind until they have
them in themselves to bounce back.
First thing to remember when you fail is to admit your failure, it may
be because of circumstances that are beyond your control. It's normal to feel
the failure, but it's not normal to spend your lives in that failure. You can
always bounce back from it. Now comes the most important part that is to
practice harder. Prepare a time table, stick to it; make small goals and crush
them. Get that confidence going.
You can get blank while standing in front of large audience first time.
Most of them will make fun of you, they will put you down but that's the only
thing they can do. Now it's up to you how you take that. You can cry over it
for the rest of your lives or you can practice and prepare hard when you reach
the stage again.
Your anger shouldn't be against the people who laughed at you or
insulted you when you got down, but you will have to channelize that anger
towards the energy that is going to act as fuel towards the success.
Failure is not your final destination unless and until you make it your
home. You are not supposed to live there. It's like a debris from which you
have to build a home.
People who laugh at you are the ones who are going to appreciate you.
You are not supposed to react to what others say, but you have to act on your
failures to make them success.
I remember when I failed in exams, I heard people saying that I am doing
it deliberately because I don't want to work and want to live on the income of
my parents. I heard endless taunts and curses. I switched off myself from all
the social networking sites and I was just feeling alone as if the world had
forgotten me and on the day of my results my phone rang continuously and was
flooded with congratulation messages. Those who were cursing my decision were
appreciating my mental strength. That's what your success changes.
So ignore who said what, just focus on what you need to do. Your success
is the only way you can change the opinion of others and answer everything.
So, work hard and make every day count. Even if your efforts go in vain,
it won't be the end of your journey, you have to take it in your stride and
move on towards your goal with more vigor and enthusiasm.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to create a course?
