The Difference Between Success As An Event and Success As An Individual; Failure As A Individual And As An Event
“If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will –
It’s all in the state of MIND.If you think you’re outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.Life’s battles, don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man
But soon or later the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!” - extracted from Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill
I read a story of a man who sells balloon in a park found a good a way of selling his balloon. He would pump air into the balloon and release it into the sky and children will drag their parents to buy a balloon for them. There was a boy who has been watching the event for some time and eventually he was able to persuade his parent to go with him to the balloon man. The boy then said "Sir I have a question" and the man asked him to go on. He said he has been watching for some time that when he released the white balloon it went up into the sky. When he released the red balloon it went up into the sky. when he released the green balloon it went up, what would happen if he released a black balloon into the air, would it go up into the sky? The man replied "It is not the colour of the balloon, it is the content of the balloon" I hope you get my message.
Let me recite this poem
I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However, I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why you must bear the task.I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.” - Jessie B. Rittenhouse
There is a difference between failure as an event and failure as an individual also, there is a difference between success as an individual an success as an event.
The dictionary says success is achieving a goal. Ok I agree with it,
What if I set a goal to make a million dollars within the next six month and in six months I made a million dollars you would say I succeed. YES, i did but what if I stole the 1 million dollars, am I a success or a fraud as a person?
Do not internalize your failure, learn your lesson from your failure and move on. I have more respect for a person who does something and fails compared to a person who does not try because of fear to try. The person who fails to try is a failure as an individual.
Take a practical step to turn your dreams into reality. Things don't always work out the first time. I have failed in several events but I have succeeded so many times. When you work hard and take actions, be persistent. Things don't always work out the first time.
If you try 99 times and it did not work out, the one-time success will compensate for all
Please do not settle for less, the future is colourful, there is no limitation anywhere
If you determine that you would be a success, you would succeed. but if you have a poor mind, you are a failure as an individual.
True brother.. Our mind is powerful.. First, we have to believe we can do any task then continuous determination is also key.. Good post!

You welcome!
Amazing piece bro. I'm resteeming this, cos my friends need to see it too
Thanks for the resteem, i am glad you liked the post
Indeed. Kind words and motivational.
How ever i would say as a fanatic that there is nobody who has read Think and Grow rich that do not have a total revamp of his or her mentality. And understand that it is not the amount of time one is down, it is what you do after that.
Nice work.
"Do not internalize your failure, learn your lesson from your failure and move on." This is indeed very powerful for those who understands, that's whay i say a man will always be a failure if he says he is a failure.. @gbenga this is an award winning post. See you on top my brother.......
Thanks brother i really appreciate your support all the way, steem on
"Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go"! This quote has been resonating with me lately in all venues of my life. Achieving your goals and dreams come by never letting go of them and taking action everyday towards that end. Thank you for this inspiring post and great information.
Good job. Upvote me pos f

I am a living witness to both positive and negative powers of thoughts. The series of events leading to my involvement in an accident is an instance of negative thinking. Prior to this, my mind was entertaining loysbof negative thinking.
When we we're referred to India and we have no money, I remained positive and eventualy raised the required sum and had my surgery in India
Than you once again for the wonderful write up... positives only zone !
Failure is inevitable when someone choose the wrong path. Success is a trophy of positive mindset.
