Failure IS An Option

Failure is one of man's greatest fears. Our goal is to always succeed in everything we do. To bask in our greatness. To strive for perfection in all of our endeavors! That is until we wake up and find that the world is not a perfect place; we fail!

No matter how hard we try, success is hard to come by. We try, we fail. We try, we fail. It's a vicious cycle which usually ends with us giving up. But true failure only comes when we stop trying. Sometimes, these failures are sent our way for us to learn something. It's just a matter of perspective.

Thomas Edison failed a thousand times before inventing the light bulb. But for him, those were not failures. Instead, he saw them as a thousand ways for not creating a light bulb. Can you imagine how our lives would be if Edison gave up on his 999th try?

The world does not end when we fail. It's just another chance for us to start anew. As Cornelius Robinson always say, "All we have to do is to let go of the past and keep moving forward."

Here's another quote, from another successful person, which can inspire us to just keep on trying.

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed" - Michael Jordan

 Failure is always an option. The question is, what  we do after we fail?
