Walt Disney was fired from the newspaper where he worked for lack of creativity, to continue his life he founded his first company, Laugh-O-Gram Films, dedicated to animation, after a while he was forced to close the doors. he eventually moved to Hollywood, where his films eventually began to succeed.
There are many stories like Walt Disney‘s, each of us has moments of failure in our lives where we are forced to rething and start over, success, failure and learning are part of our day-to-day life, they are the foundations that make us grow as people. That’s why in life we write, delete and rewrite.
- What does success mean to you?Does it mean to recognize your work.

- And to be healthy?.
Regardless of what success means to you, achieving what you mean by success builds trust, advances you, and above all makes you happy. Elsa Punset, writer and philosopher daughter of Eduardo Punset, comments on these cases of winning effect.
When you feel like a winner, you produce dopamine and it makes you feel better and better prepared, allowing you to do your best to achieve the goals you want, that is, success leads to more success, it’s like a chain reaction.
So that you know how success and failure work, we have a curious fact: according to some statistics, 90% of the products that are put on the market fail, so failure is no exception, it is the general rule, however failure is generally not well considered.
Knowing that failure is the most common thing should lead us to think about how to live with failure in a more natural way. Psychologist Carol Dweck associates how we handle failure with our idea of talent.
There is a vision that people’s talent is something innate, that is, whether or not you were born talented and that there is nothing else, however, another view states that talent develops from perseverance and effort to achieve what one wants. To want.
People in the first group face goals as a way to demonstrate their innate talent and believe that failure means they don’t have enough skills or talent, so they’re afraid of failure and can’t stand the idea of not succeeding.
However, people who think that talent develops understand failure as a test of their effort and see it positively, failure is a way to become stronger and better, if you don’t fail, you won’t get better.
Learning from failure and taking risks in life takes a lot of courage, not everything will always work out, we will live many disappointments, but our real success will be learning, maturing and growing, think about what makes you smile and fight for it.
In the book Emotional Intelligence (published in 1995), Daniel Goleman cites several studies based on the lives of countless observed young people who score very high on intelligence tests.
The studies compare the satisfaction levels of these young people with concepts such as happiness, prestige or success at work, and we find that the IQ covers about 20% of the factors that determine success.
The remaining 80% depends on variables such as luck, social class and, above all, emotional intelligence, so self-healing, perseverance, mood management and empathy are more decisive factors than intelligence.
