How comfortable are you with failures?

Well , I think that " failing must be a way for success".

How this?

Most writers, artists, actors, entrepreneurs or any profession that requires practice and discipline to be good at, quit when they “fall down”. They genuinely want to chase a dream and they even summon the courage needed to give it a try. But, because they are just getting started, they inevitably fail at the beginning of their journey. Then when they fail, they feel as if they do not have any “natural gift” for this. So it is pointless to continue trying. Then they give up the journey toward their dream and return to their comfort zone.

From my view,  failure is a necessary part of success.

That can be said for learning anything new, or developing yourself in any way. If you are not failing in your life at least some of the time, then you are not pushing yourself enough .

How to be comfortable with failure?

It goes against our nature to be “okay” with failing – even if we recognize that it is a necessary part of success. You may never fully embrace failure, but there are some things that you can do to make it easier.

1.    Recognizing the value

Self-awareness is the first step toward self-improvement. Simply reminding yourself that failure is an important and necessary part of success  rather than something to be feared  will help you embrace it.  These subtle reminders will help give you a good perspective on your immediate fear of failure.

2.    Detatch our ego

One of the worst learning mistakes that people make is attaching their ego to their failures and their successes. our ego is what will lead us to believe that you have no “natural gift” for something, so it isn’t worth pursuing. The ego always wants to look good and feel justified. So when learning something new, you must detach yourself from your results – especially at first. Everyone is bad at something at first. Even the most “talented” among us were terrible when they first started. So attaching your ego will only bring you pain.  Of course, detaching my ego isn’t easy. The best way to do so is to think like a scientist.

3.      Think like a scientist.

There are few professions that are as comfortable with failing as scientists. When learning something new, a scientist will come up with a hypothesis about what she believes will happen   but she does not attach this belief to her ego. She simply runs her experiment. If her hypothesis is wrong, who cares? The important thing is that she learned something new about the world. The goal is not to prove that she is right. The goal is to learn.

When you are learning a new skill, your goal is not to be great right away   it is to learn. But you kept going because your goal was not to be great, but to learn how to ride.

On sum, There are few better examples for how to approach learning something new than your childhood self when you learned how to ride a bike. You probably failed several times – and got hurt in the process! But you kept trying, and now you’re glad that you did. Too many of us do not take this same approach to learning now that we have entered our adult lives. We now fear failing. Instead of seeing it as a necessary part of learning, we now see it as a sign that we are "no good" and should give up.  To overcome this tendency, you must see the value in failure. You must recognize that it happens to everyone and detach your ego. Then approach the learning process like a scientist, who views being wrong as part of the process.  The master and the quitter both failed when they were beginners. The only difference is that the master had the courage to keep failing until he eventually succeeded.

Failure is a necessary part of the creative and entrepreneurial process. Reflecting on my failures (or perceived failures) always teaches me something and my resilience increase as my fear of failure diminishes

Confidence and hard work are the best medicines to kill the diseases called Failure, it indicates that we would accept all our failure in a challenging way to defeat it ultimately. In that sense, I think all intelligent people are fully comfortable with failure concept. Another great important of failure is that “  NO ONE IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT KNOWING REAL TASTE OF FAILURE”   everyone tasted it ‘somehow” at any stage of life or businesses.
