RE: Journal of a Failure

in #life7 years ago

Activity does not mean success. Success is like an iceberg and there is much more underneath. Likewise, activity is not the only aspect, the person matters a lot.

This issue is an issue of personal development. If you only have 3 or 4 failures that is not enough. Try failing a thousand times.

Like these successful people in sports and other areas your success is determined by the amount of failure @cali-girl

Passion - are you passionate? Is other things more passionate for you? What are your values? What do you value more?

I want to relate to you a story of a women. She was given a seed and she planted it hoping this seed would grow to become a fruit tree but it did not grow.

Now get 100 seeds and some of them will sprout. Success is like this, you have more failures than success.

Get on the phone cold calling and you soon see why more people leave than succeed. Success is a lot of work.

Some people are not cut out for the head honcho position - it takes 10 times more than you think. When you haven't got money, and in dire straits this is the worst time to even attempt because it comes out in your actions.

My recommendation is to consider your values. You may do great in a startup and succeed with others. You may find you prefer working for someone. Or you might just need a good amount of personal development - that hidden element @cali-girl that makes success.

If you plant a tree, the next day you don't have fruit. It takes years and years of development first in the person and then in the project. Same as parents and children. Children don't give birth. They first develop, grow and become into men and women and then they are ready to give birth.

Same with ideas, unless the person is right, things are not right and if you are in dire straits, you can't bring any good to the table. People matter more than ideas.

Please be sure to check through my articles. I hope you find the right way on your journey and all things are beneficial in your learning and experience. You did not walk the first time you tried.

Create a great day,
@kozan

Thank you, @ kozan. You are absolutely right. That was just what I needed to read right about now. :)
