Robert H. Schuller defines failure in his book ” You Can Become the Person You Want to Be “ by the following lines :
- Failure doesn’t mean you are a failure … it does mean you haven’t succeeded yet.
- Failure doesn’t mean you have accomplished nothing … it does mean you have learned something.
- Failure doesn’t mean you have been a fool … it does mean you had a lot of faith.
- Failure doesn’t mean you have been disgraced … it does mean you were willing to try.
- Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it … it does mean you have to do something in a different way .
- Failure doesn’t mean you are inferior … it does mean you are not perfect.
- Failure doesn’t mean you have wasted your life … it does mean you have a reason to start afresh.
- Failure doesn’t mean you should give up … it does mean you must try harder.
- Failure doesn’t mean you will never make it … it does mean it will take a little longer.
- Failure doesn’t mean GOD has abandoned you … it does mean GOD has a better idea.
After reading those lines I am trying to figure out the answer of this question : “Am I really A Failure ..?”
Please give it a thought ….
This blog may not be actively updated anymore but I’ve been compelled to comment: I arrived here quite by accident because somehow my original google search yielded this entry. I was looking for “daeomon process technical diagram” for a project I’ve just started. My life is a wreck right now and these kind words gave me pause for reflection. Thanks for the bright spot in an otherwise dark part of my life.
