Failure is good, what’s your opinion ?

Let’s try to know, What is Failure?

"Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective and may be viewed as the opposite of success"

One of the few universal truths in life is that we all fail a lot, it's a normal part of the human experience, just like breathing, eating. In fact, it's not just normal, it's absolutely necessary. Your growth as a person, and as a professional has a lot to do with how you understand and use the setbacks you face. Unfortunately, for far too many people, the experience of failure is highly negative. The word itself has taken on a huge negative dishonour or shame.  People don't want to focus on their failures.

That's too bad, We need to talk and think and give time to understand failure because they truly do represent the key to your success. In this Abdul Ali’ blog, I'll give some tips how You can improve, how you think about failure, what you learn as a result, and how you use failure to make improvements, ensuring that failure always leads to progress.

We love and celebrate success, thus we dislike and shun its opposite, failure. But that's not really good logic. It’s our negative thinking. We can understand the importance of failure. It’s an important part of a journey for success.
