Five Great Career Lessons You Can Learn From Failure
Where does your attitude lie? Failure is a way to figure out many things in life. Let’s start with something really important that is friends. When you fail in life you figure out who your real friends are. The second thing you figure out is what people think of you and their true colors. Then you know who is worth your time. Thirdly, failure teaches you more about yourself. This is the most important thing. If you can have a great attitude about failing then you are already a step closer to success. Remember, it is better to be a good human being than a successful hot headed brat.
A strong support system: when people tell you that there are certain things you can’t do on your own, they are usually right. For example, when you fail there are so many things that are running in your head that your judgment can be clouded. In these moments you need a strong support system. People, who are going to encourage you, help you, build you and also allow you to confide in them.
This will go a long way on your road to success. When there is no support system in place people tend to take extreme measures like take their life or give up. If you ask successful people, who have built their business empires through failure, they will tell you that they have a strong support system or people who they are accountable with. Learn from them!
Learning like change is always constant: You hear people say that learning ends only at death. If this is the case then why worry about failures because it’s part of the process of learning. If we have nothing to learn anymore then none of would fail in life. Think about this, if Bill Gates believes he still fails today with all the money and business he has yet learns from it, then how much more should you?
Am I saying he’s better than you? No! But when you let failure drag you down, then yes he is. So, take a step of faith and every time you fall down pick yourself up having learnt something new. Success is just around the corner for those who don’t give up.
