Let Failure Be your Strongest Link

Blog A Tyquan Chardon Professor Guarino INQ 101 10/13/13 Failure is the state in which you are unsuccessful in accomplishing a certain goal. Kids are the ones who take failure harder mainly because they feel they owe it to their parents to succeed. In many cases kids believe and feel that they can’t mess up. A lot of it comes from the way their own individual families treat them. It’s almost like they are afraid to mess up. In other cases kids are very successful so they feel pressured to continue to succeed. When they do mess up they are afraid of the outcome that may come next. Honestly there really isn’t a place to fail and feel like you still succeeded. Well there is one place but that place is unreachable at the time. Now yes even though failure hurts many people it also makes people stronger in some cases. For instance, when a boxer goes in the ring to fight he puts his all into winning. He uses his skills the best he/she could but still loses. Instead of taking that loss as the end of their career, they train harder to make themselves get better so when they do go back to fight they will be ready. Sometimes failure destroys our drive to go on but there are times where it just builds our confidence. Personally for me I believe that failure will at first harm a person because of their personally feeling of being embarrassed but eventually it will make anyone the most confident person. It all depends on the timing and person that is all. You know how some people say that failure is second to none in the face of admiration. That’s exactly the point. Sometimes it just a matter of learning from a mistake to gain happiness and feel pleased with yourself. So my advice to you is don’t let failure make you lose hope and feel like quieting. I say this because you never know how fast you may change and become the best at what you was bad at to begin with.
