EVERY SUCCESS STORY IS ALSO A STORY OF GREAT FAILURE

“ History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heart- breaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats” B. C. Forbes once said.

Success is the destination and failure is the highway to the success. If you want to be successful, you have to go on a long drive of failure. Every winner has a story of failure because they dared to fail. “ the people who never fail are those who never try” this quote proves the fallacy of term ‘ overnight success.’

Let me share a famous story life history with you.This was a man who failed in business at the age of 21; was defeated in a legislative race at the age 22; failed again in business at age 24; had his sweetheart die when he was 26; had a nervous breakdown at age 27; lost a congressional race at age of 34; lost a senatorial race at age 45; failed in an effort to become vice president at 47; lost a senatorial race at 49; and was elected president of the united sates at age of 52. This man was Abraham Inchon. Is it a failure? He could quit , but defeat was a detour to him , not an end.
J.paul getty once said “ a man may fail many times, but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else” a powerful concept and secret of successful people.

The only difference between successful person and others is – the perseverance. A meaning full word. The difference is neither lack of strength nor they are ‘lucky’, negative thinker’s word. One of good examples is of Beethoven. He was told that he has not the talent for music, but he gave some of the best music to the world.
They all showed to the world one thing- if you believe in yourself sincerely, irrespective of what world says to you, just keep doing, and you will get what you want.

People who face obstacles are more secure than who have not. We are living in a world with lots of problems and we have to face them. An English proverb “ A smooth sea cannot make a good sailor” This justifies all. Winners do everything in spite of problem, not in the absence of problems. One examples is of lance Armstrong, after fighting against incurable cancer, won tour de France , world cycle championship. It isn’t money, which made them valuable but it is the courage, their effort and the perseverance, made them great and set offs an examples for the world.we should learn a lesson from them as we get discouraged mere by a less marks in examination. When I get discouraged, i used to read their life history and my veins get imbued with great intensity of positive energy, if they can do, in spite of this , why cannot i ?’

Life was not smooth, is not smooth and will not be smooth. It shows everyone some tough time. And it is the looser who quits not the winners. One good example, Henry ford, the father of automobile industry, had a nervous breakdown at the age of 40 , but he did not quit. Another example.
On 15 august 1992, Mani Ratnam’s movie ROJA was released. The movie was a hit , but there was something else that rocked the film. It was the music rendered by a shy, quiet 25 year old debutante, A. R . Rahman , who became household name overnight – so the world thought. What escaped notice that this young lad had put in, when his father unexpectedly passed away leaving nine year old to take care of his mother and sister. He showed that he is impervious to this. I,myself is a fervent admirer of them.

“ If you want to succeed , double your failure rate” once IBM head said. Because success teaches a little to us, IT IS THE FAILURE WHICH MAKE YOU THINK.
