FAILURE IS A REQUIRMENT FOR SUCCESS
What do Albert Pujols, Mike Schmidt, Donald Trump and Warren Buffett all have in common? They all fail much more than they succeed. Albert and Mike fail two out of three times they have gone to the plate and one of them is already in the hall of fame as one of the greatest in his profession. The other one will be there. Mr. Trump and Mr. Buffett have made millions and maybe billions but have lost a whole lot of times. This group may be some of the biggest losers of all time.
Another thing that these “successful failures” have in common is the life learned ability to learn from their unsuccessful efforts and make adjustments so they don’t make the same mistake twice. I guarantee you that after an unsuccessful effort on their part they are better prepared next time to charge ahead with every intention of succeeding. They accomplish this with a plan that includes back to basics and preparing by studying the positive material that allowed them to succeed before.
These people will fail again and they are aware of that each and every day. But they also will succeed again because they know that failure is a big part of success. They all go to bat the next time up with the intention of getting on base and then scoring.
Do you fear failure? Or do you know it is required for success? When you don‘t succeed do you look inside and see what you could have done better? Do you go back to basics and adjust? Do you call your in–house manager, your coach to seek advice and direction? Failure is no more than a sign post telling you to adjust your direction and improve your course. Heed the sign, make the corrections and you will get right back in the game. Remember, if your last at bat or “door” was a “no”, go through the next door swinging, you are due for a “yes”.
