Fail your way to Success

by Chris Igarta

Does anybody here wants to be successful?

 Well I know you can answer that question very quickly.

But let me ask you another question does anybody here are willing to fail? Of course not.

Who here is afraid of failing? Well I do and I know that failing is also part living. 

You know People fail and as we grew older we learn to be afraid at failing.

 Maybe its because that we care so much  on how will the other people will look at us when we did something and it didn’t go as how we planned it. 

When we were a child we are not afraid to fail. 

We don’t even know what fail means. 

Just Imagine when we are a child and we are afraid to do something because we worried so much on how will  the other people will think about us.

 Do you think we can walk and run right now? 

No. because when we were a child we practice a lot and we fall a lot of times but our parents and the other people who surrounds us gives us energy to try again and we enjoyed the process eventhough we fall several times.

And so after a lot of times of trying we eventually mastered how to stand and then walk, jump and run. And we are here right now. 

We walk to the entrance of Club Filipino to learn how to speak in front a lot of people.

 Do you think if you gave up learning how to stand and walk when you were a child will get you in this place right now? Just think about it

We know a lot of successful people who become our idols because of their Achievements and we thought that they were very lucky to achieve this. And now I will show you some of the examples of people who failed a lot of times and they just try and try again. Until they become Successful at their chosen field of work. even if it took them  years of practice to succeed because they know that quitting is never an option

 

My point Is failing is part of Success and if you don’t fail a lot of times in life. It just means you haven’t tried something different in your life. I know a lot of people will try to stop you from achieving your dreams and some of them will even think that you will eventually fall down but remember this, there is also a lot of people who is willing to help and guide you in your journey. So if you have a dream don’t be afraid to pursue it because in your mind if you think that you are going to fail. Well my advice don’t even bother to think about it. I suggest you should Just do it.
