Failure and Success are two sides of the same coin. Both are relative to one another. One person can be seen to have failed because they did not succeed. Another person can be seen to have succeeded because they did not fail. With understanding failure and putting it into context, success means nothing. Success has to be in relation to someone or something else. We have succeeded because another person did not succeed or failed.
Failure is understood and interpreted in different ways by people who are faced with failure and by those who know the individual. It is handled in different ways by the person who is faced with failure. Failure is analysed by people who observe and comment upon the person who has failed.
Necessary for Success
We say that failure is painful and that it causes emotional turmoil and upset, and inflicts agonizing pangs of guilt, regret, and remorse. But those who have experienced true failure, and have bounced back from it, understand that failure is necessary for success. Yes of course, failing hurts. In fact, it cuts deep like a razor, slicing its way to our inner core. Yet, it is necessary.
Very seldom has anyone attempted to get to understand the reason for failure or the impact of failure.
No one thinks of the impact on the person who has failed or is likely to fail. Everyone observing the failure is quick to pass judgement on the failure and the person who has failed. Everyone has a reason, their own interpretation, of why the failure has happened.
