Hello great teens!

How are you today? Have you pondered and thought about what will you do? Have you arranged a big plan to be achieved in the future? If so, how will you make it true? Are you ready to accept the failure of that plan? Yes, everything must be carefully prepared. However, if you still experience failure then it is beyond our control as a planner.

You need to realize that life does not always go straight. All the twists of life will make your life beautiful and colorful. Without failure, you will not know what it feels like to be disappointed and cry. Then, what do you do when you get failed in achieving something? All of the respondents that responded to my survey said that they cried, being disappointed, depressed, and crushed when they failed. Furthermore, more than 20% of them said that they will give up and never plan to fight again. Crying and feel disappointed is something natural when you get failure. But you must think that there are many steps ahead after your tears.

Many people assume that failure is the root of not achieving their dreams. Even though the reality is not. This could happen because of their fault, as the main actors, because they did not fight more. Most people don't reach their dreams not because of failure but it is because they give up. Now we see, it's not the failure that stops us but that most stopped at their first failure. Those who succeed don't stop at one failure. They don't stop at ten failures, a hundred, a thousand, or a million.

Imagine if Michael Jordan was scared of missing, he would have never taken a shot. Imagine if Steve Jobs was afraid of people not liking his product, so there would be no iPhone today. Then, let's imagine if Edison gave up on failure, there would be no lamp, and we are in the dark now. Those people never accept failure as something that stops them. They said, " This is my goal, and I will do whatever it takes to achieve it. I will learn the lesson from any failures. I will learn faster, work harder, and smarter and I will not quit until my dream is reality".

The figures mentioned above are great people who take a lesson from their failure and get up after it. If they can, why then we can't? Every people has the same chance to win and succeed. Things make it different just how they fight for it. Here are some ways we could try to get up from a failure. Jordan, Edison, and Steve Jobs maybe also use the ways below, so they could be the great people they are today.

Do not give up easily

This is what often makes humans lose hope to achieve their dreams. When humans stop to continue to fight for what they dream of, they would never even smell the taste of success.

Turn failure into motivation

There is a quote said "Success is 99% failure." In my opinion, this is true. Because the road to success is not an easy path. We have to go through many failures and trials to achieve success. So, turning failure into motivation is the key to where success lies.

Don't drag on regretting yourself
