NAPOLEON HILL: Successful people avoid doing this at all costs in their lives The reason why only some succeed in life and the vast majority do not! - Animated Summary #FinancialMentors FAILURE OR FAILURED...? IS IT JUST A DIFFERENCE IN LETTERS? Before continuing with the video, it is necessary to point out this clear difference. FAILURE (temporary defeat): Accepting the error and learning from it. FAILURE (failure in life): It is staying to live in failure. The difference between "a failure" and "being a failure" will be proportionally related to how you face and position yourself before each circumstance that challenges you. Temporary failure or defeat allows us to rethink the error, but, in this new opportunity, from a new perspective of action. Thomas Alba Edison "failed" ten thousand times before perfecting the incandescent electric light bulb. That is to say: he encountered temporary defeat ten thousand times before his effort produced success. All great men had temporary failures. They did not lose. They learned to do things differently and they won. A failure seems to be nature's plan to prepare us for great responsibilities. If everything we attempted in life was accomplished with a minimum of effort and went exactly as planned, how little we would learn and how dull life would be! And how arrogant we would become if we succeeded in everything we attempted. Failure allows us to develop the essential quality of humility. It is not easy, when you are the person who experiences failure, to accept it philosophically, serene in the knowledge that this is one of life's greatest learning experiences. But it is. Nature's ways are not always easy to understand, but they are repetitive and therefore predictable. You can be absolutely sure that when you feel you are being given a most unfair test, you are preparing yourself for a great achievement.
