A cup of cheer!
I have failed, not once but many times in life.
In meeting committments, in reaching goals, in following instructions, as a parent, as a son …..the list can go on and on. I look around me and I see more people like me.
So what does that make us? “Failures” or “Losers”…..good heavens no…..”Humans” is more like it. Did you know that humans were designed to learn by failing? We learn…we try and fail…… again, fail and fix….and then try again….and then ride on success like there was no yesterday.
Remember yourself as a baby… how many times did you fall down before you finally walked? What if you had given up the first time you fell? What if we all gave up the first time we fell……imagine a world full of people, crawling about …….instead of walking!
The fact is we all walked….and then ran and even flew…..with help of course! The story of the first airplane is another example ……the crashes, the new learnings from each crash and the fixes till it finally stayed afloat. Behind each success story, there are the heroes…. and then the people on the sidelines……the ones who kept us focussed, cheered us on while we took each small step….and this blog is inspired by the cheerleaders who didn’t share the spot light.
So here’s a place where you’ll find posts and stories of failures…..in personal lives, relationships or in the business world, and then point to the insights and the turnarounds. If you are going through a similar experience, hopefully you’ll find comfort in knowing there have been others before you…..you’ll learn from what others have done and above all,…..if they can do it, you can too!
Cheers!
