Golden Rule #9
Learn how to handle rejection, failure and persistent frustration and no obstacle will be your equal.
There’s a saying that says something like “those who never fail have never tried”. In order to succeed, you will have failures. Those people who are extremely successful have usually tried many things and failed many times.
Failure allows you to know what works and what doesn’t, what you’re good at and what you’re not, what you like and what you don’t. And this is a good thing. This is what will take you closer to your goal. If you want to do something you’re good at and love doing then you will most likely need to try several things in order to identify what that is.
Failure is, in fact, a valuable learning tool. Each time you fail, there is a lesson to be learnt. So why not, instead of focusing on the fact that you failed, focus on what the failure can teach you.
