Failure Now ,Winner Later or Words of Comfort?

Nothing is carved in stone. With perseverance and right attitude, anyone can achieve success, however the definiton of success keeps changing with time, hence the chase is never-ending.

as i have always heard my friends comforting ,or even parents comforting their child just because you cant succeed now,does not indicate you cant succeed later in the future..you cant be a winner in the future?

Or is this just mainly words of comfort to soothe the hearts of those who are feeling low?

No... I don't think that these are just words of comfort. I believe that the monument of fame and success has many portals and if one of them is closed, you can always get in through another.

Besides, people who have failed and experienced defeat are people who recognize the worth of struggle and success.

Come to think of it, failure makes us human. It makes us more compassionate- it is only after one has failed that one realizes the pain of others who try and still fail.
Of course, failure today doesn't confirm success in the future; but it doesn't exclude it either. The real message is to not wallow in self-pity and to keep trying.

Its true,If you are score pretty well in Exams and get very good marks it isnt sure that you will always be sucessful.Which means the person scoring average marks can even be more sucessful.
I"ve actually seen this.
Moreover talking of India,the education system(school level) is such that it stresses more of learning than understanding.
If you can mug-up thing well,then you get score 100%.
That also doesnt mean the eprson scoring 100%is more intelligent than person scoring let say 80% or 75%.You cant be certain.

welcum to DM zafirah 😊, Hope U enjoy yourself here. One can be a winner whenever one is passionate about what one is doing. Problem is that we are often forced to do something that we dont really like and so our heart & mind both are not in it. Little wonder that such half hearted efforts meet with moderate or lil success. To have real success & happiness one needs to first realise what one is passionate about & then have the courage to follow ones calling in life- theres no looking back then. Success is assured !

Zaf Di! 🤗 Nice to see you round here for a change! Welcome to DM, the best place on IF, though right now, we're much more busy in the DID forum, aren't we RTH and Gauri Di? 😆


I think all of them at the right time are equally important. I doubt there are very few unlucky ones who haven't failed in life. What's enjoying success if you've never known failure? I think finicky2010 put it up very well in terms of evolution of the word success in itself. Success no longer has those stereotypical thresholds it once had. We're much too advanced a world for that!

Than again, words have never done what actions have. Most of the time, I speak for myself, I am moved by watching unimaginable feats of a person, rather than listening to words of comfort of a friend. That far from means one is more important than the other. Both are equally necessary to make you stand up and walk again in life, and different people, at the end, are affected by different things. It's just that.

One last thing, I've never believed either that intellectual refined students have made it better in their realm than have less intelligent brains. If academic results were all that counted, I doubt half of the world would be behind today. My motto has always been: Work smarter, not harder. Though both pay off in their own way. All I want to say is, just like buying the most beautiful hen does not guarantee the best egg, students with the best academic results don't necessarily go on to become those who've made a difference. It's very important to distinguish between the two.

It's just that I've never worked for someone else, but for me. And I don't blame anyone else either upon my failure then myself. That's the way you've got to be is what my mum taught me. If you don't learn to get up and push others aside (courteously of course), the world would trample on you. Don't go complaining then!



P.S Hope to see more of you here! Have a great time!
