Elmer G. Letterman once said, "A man may fall many times, but he won't be a failure until he says that someone pushed him." Though mistakes happen all the time, perserverence is what helps achieve success. It is easier to fail than to try once again, but true failure is not after falling "many times", rather its blaming OTHERS for mistakes that were commited.
In this world, it is natural to have a fighting instinct. We like to compete, we hope to be the best, and ultimately enjoy the thrill of winning. However, competition creates tension and after trying and trying to perfect something without any kind of progress, our minds yields to the hopes of success and finds excuses. Its hard to admit to defeat, because after a worthy battle, it is even harder to blame yourself, but giving up and accusing others is truly the only attribute to failure.
Failure is not after many hard valuable attempts, but its that last excuse made up by people that are too weak to accept their lost and disgracefully condemn others. I try my best to achieve the goals I set, and when it gets tough, I do not point fingers, but rather I reassure myself that I can finish successfully if I continue past my own limits. I pity those that take pride on blaming others for their own blunders, because it is simply not morally right or fair.

ReplyDeleteMary! I truly enjoyed your quote. I believe that the only time you really failed is when you give up or don't learn from your own mistake but even then your mistakes can always be a learning experience. I agree with you when you mentioned others blaming there own failures I have seen it in my every day life. Yet by doing this we don't allow our selves to grow and learn.
ReplyDeleteyou are very right about failure. I liked your line when you said "Failure is not after many hard valuable attempts, but its that last excuse made up by people that are too weak to accept their lost and disgracefully condemn others." It's true, most people want to make excuses for their mistakes. But owning up to one's mistake and taking resposibility is the strongest thing a person can do.
