Failure : First step towards Success

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

I strongly believe that failure is first step towards success. Every failure teaches us what does not work for us.

I have experienced this before and every failure has taught me the lesson for life. In our company we used to celebrate failures and during the celebration we used to deliberate about the lessons learned.

People get mad with the failures and loose their confidence. Next time they become more cautious and loose the speed. Digesting a failure is not so easy. If you come out from the state of shock and frustration as early as possible then you have digested the failure.

Your calmness helps you to think ahead and learn from failures. I will share my real life experience of failure and how I learned from it:

This is regarding a project which took more time than targeted making the project as failed. During the discussion with team we realised that the project premises were being changed frequently till end of the project. This was every time delaying the activity and resulting in final delay in the project. Then onwards we decided to freeze the premises before start of the project and kept it unchanged until end. This has given quite a success in future projects.

So learn from each failure and don’t repeat the failure for the same cause.

Keep learning and good day 😊
