FAILURE IS NOT AN OBSTACLE, 

BUT A CHALLENGE

Have you ever felt life a failure? Most students have at one time or another, but I have understood that there is a district difference between failure and being a failed, we have all failed, but we can only be a failure when we realise that we failed and can't get up and keep going. 

Everyone has a dream of being successful, no one would want to fail or be a failure. Just as they say “if wishes were horses, beggars will ride on them” no one is destined to fail. God had a perfect plan for us. He is not a God of failure. Therefore, failure is sometimes necessary for success. “Thomas Edison” the inventor of the incandescent light bulb, as well as 1,092 patient items tried many ways and many times before he got the formula to make the electric light bulb work. He tried so many times, when he tried and failed, he wasn't  discouraged, he acknowledged the fact that he was  about to find the answer.

“Micheal Faraday” the discoverer of electricity failed for 99 times but he wasn't discouraged too, rather he had more confidence that he would achieve his vision and dream. We have all failed many times, many ways, and in many places but that doesn't make us a failure.

The English novelist “John Creasey” get “753” Scripts rejected before he published “564” books the point is that we shouldn't worry about failing but rather to focus on utilising the chance you are given when you try again.

There are five (5) keys to help you get up from failure; they are 

1. Focus on your aim and plan, and not your mistakes 

2. Forget the past and look forward to the future

3. Learn from your mistakes, put it aside and move on 

4. Don't allow yourself to be controlled by shame, embarrassment e.t.c.

5. Don't give up, instead, focus on getting up.
