Title: Failure and Opportunity (Psalm 119:71)
Somebody asked Lincoln. 'How did you become such a respected person? What's the secret?' Lincoln said, 'Because I've had more failures than others. ' he replied. Baseball king Babe Ruth hit 714 home runs in her lifetime. Until 1976, he was the best home run holder. However, he took 1,330 strikeouts. Glory comes after painful events.
Success without failure is unfortunate for yourself and those around you. True success comes from failure. To taste failure is to taste pain. We are ashamed of failure. I hate the word failure the most. In fact, anyone who has ever drank the cup of failure knows that. Failed people know how bitter the cup of failure is. If you fail, it's not just the material that's difficult. If you fail, even the people you used to be close to will not come. Instead, loneliness and loneliness come.
As a child, I saw my father's business fail. And I learned how scary it is to fail. Relatives who visited when things were going well stopped after my father's failure. I still remember the day I lost everything and moved into an unauthorized home after failure. Such an experience is by no means my own.
We are a nation that has passed through poverty and hardship. It has experienced war and has gone through a severe economic crisis. We are still experiencing an economic crisis that is not optimistic. We have experienced countless national crises. That is why collective fear and terror lurk in the hearts of our people. Because of such inner anxiety, our people are more obsessed with success than any other nation. The reason why the passion for education is superior to any other people in the world is that education is the best way for ordinary people to succeed. We all fear failure. In fact, if we go inside our hearts, we are not only afraid of failure, we are also afraid of success. Because I've seen people who have fallen even worse after they succeeded.
There are many people who succeed in the world and fail in life. But on the other hand, there are people who have failed in the world but succeeded in life. True success does not consist in success or achievement. True success lies in a beautiful character. It's about personal maturity. There is a sense of stewardship that humbly accepts success and uses it as an opportunity to share. The greatest happiness that a person who has experienced many failures enjoys lies in that person's character. We succeed with skill. However, failure also leads to maturity.
Don't learn from failure, learn from failure. Don't repeat failure. Use failure as an opportunity for growth and maturity. Don't brag that you haven't failed, be ashamed that you haven't tried anything. Failure is a great teacher who comes to adventure in life. Failure causes pain, and suffering narrows the lessons. Don't be discouraged by failure. When one door closes, another door opens. Look at Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln, who served as the 16th President of the United States, failed in business in 1831, lost the state legislature in 1832, failed again in 1834, and in 1841 suffered a nervous breakdown and was hospitalized. In 1843, he was discouraged because he did not receive a nomination for the National Assembly, ran for the Senate in 1855, but was defeated, and again ran for the Senate in 1858, but was defeated again. However, he eventually ran for president in 1860 and won the honor of being elected. His numerous failures have made him great.
God uses your failures. Never forget that God makes you more beautiful through your failures. Don't be afraid to fail. After taking the first lesson, the famous Polish pianist Paderb i was told by his teacher, 'Your hand is your youngest son, so you should quit altogether. After the immortal tenor singer Caruso sang for the first time, he was criticized for being a 'voice from a hole in the paper'. When Disney first visited a newspaper with a manga manuscript, it was rejected because it was said to be 'below standard'. Automobile King Ford found out that he didn't have a reverse gear after building his first car. It's not failure that ruins life, it's frustration and abandonment.
The great inventor, Charles Kettering, gave the following advice for turning failure into success: First, admit your failures honestly. Second, use failure. Never waste failure. Learn all you can get from failure. Third, don't use your failure as an opportunity to decide, 'I'm not going to do anything anymore'. Failure comes to everyone. Treat failure as a welcome guest. For us Christians, failure is another form of success. Because we live a life of walking with Jesus Christ, who is the victor in all things. Or, are you not in the swamp of setbacks in the face of failure? Trust in God, who is your strength and shield, for help. (Psalm 28:6-8) ?쏮y soul, why are you discouraged, and why are you troubled within me?
Hope in Me, and I will rather praise Him for the help of His countenance' (Psalm 42:5).
