Success lurks behind a series of failures

Yes, the title statement couldn’t be more correct. Re-trying is a sacred right and duty to which no human being should renounce. Anyone who has had to face great difficulties and failures for a long time has two options: never try again and let yourself be carried away by the inevitable inertia of life, or try again and take advantage of the accumulated experience.

Many people tried again after decades of failures and difficulties. Did you know, for example, that Nelson Mandela spent 30 years in prison before leaving and becoming the man who changed South Africa’s history?

“Failure doesn’t exist, except when we don’t try anymore. ” Jean Paul Marat?

But of course, “It was Nelson Mandela and I’m an ordinary human being,” some will say. That said, they will probably list the thousands of reasons why the great South African leader has succeeded, but they will conclude that they cannot do so. They don’t realize that precisely this resistance to testing is the biggest obstacle to achieving what they want.

It is true that these historical and global achievements require the convergence of certain circumstances, but it is also true that there are individual achievements comparable to these, the mere fact that someone achieves their dreams, after long periods of failure, is an invaluable example for those around them It is an effort that improves the world in which we all live.

An exciting and dignified life is one in which you never stop trying again. Why do we live if it is not to make the experience a tribute to life itself?

No one forces you to get out of boredom, to show your courage, to risk losing, but let’s be clear: if you don’t, it’s not because you can’t try something better, what happens is that fear invades you and it’s out of fear that you resist trying. Make no mistake: you’re not tired, it’s not a lack of skill or age. It’s fear that won’t let you act.

You may not have realized that trying to pursue what you want is as important, if not more important, than realizing it. It’s the salt of life. That gives flavor to your days and your evenings and evenings, that’s what makes the difference between feeling satisfied with the simple fact of living and being stuck in the question of why we live.

I looked for the etymology of the word? And I came across a surprise I was already anticipating. This word comes from the Latin root “quat”, which means “chacoalhao”; and the Italian prefix “fra”, which means “in the middle”. Therefore, the word failure would be something like “being in the middle of a jolt. “What do you think?

If we incorporate this into the subject at hand, we could say that failure can be assumed as a fear, a crossroads to arouse attention, to awaken to something, it turns out that failure is this: a discovery that takes you out of error, that allows you to open your eyes. In fact, its negative connotation became more intense when, from different models, the operation of the mind began to be compared with the operation of a machine.

At some point in history, the word “failure”?has become synonymous with “defeat,” when it really isn’t. What’s the word? It became synonymous with “reddition. “I believe that all this is valid in the language of war, it is in this context that even triumphs are sad and the failures of realities that endanger freedom, life and dignity.

In the fertile lands of human activity, what?Chacoalhao, it’s actually a moment of revelation. Thus, it operates in science, in art and in all positive areas of reality. There is virtually no human action that incorporates both a failure factor and an achievement factor. One of the few occasions when failure becomes a harsh defeat is in those cases. dark moments when we decided never to try again.
