Failure? A word we all run away from, a term we all try as much as possible to avoid, yet it can't be escaped. As a human being, failure shouldn't be feared for it's a part of development and a standing ladder that leads to success, one should have it in mind that; failing and having though times is a stage that can't be missed, hence rather than trying to avoid it or running away from it and thinking one can't attain one's aim because of failure, we should grab on to our failure, this will let us know what's the next step to take and what is the solution to failing all time. Failure shouldn't be feared, rather should it be battled with and conquered!
WHY SHOULD WE FEAR FAILURE?
The common saying goes: " Failure is an evidence that you are trying." Yes, it is very true for how can a man fail if he does not try to succeed?
However, there is more to this than what the public think it is. Though we may say in our minds that failure should be embraced and anyone who fails should embrace and try not to fail again. But I would ask this question: Why do we even need to expect failure in the first place?
Failure should not be expected, rather it should be consciously rejected and feared even before we try to do anything.
Failure should be feared because that is the way it can be reduced; when there is enough preparation for success and not failure!
