SUCCESS VS. FAILURE

Success according to advanced learners’ oxford dictionary is a fovourable outcome, attainment of ones aim or wealth, fame or position. The feeling of success is undoubtedly beyond good, it’s like feeling the rush of excitement through your spine, to your nerve and then it makes you shout; Nothing supports like passion.

Failure on the other hand, has been defined as unfavourable outcome; it consists of everything success is not. I think on a closer look, you can hardly talk about success without failure except you never tried anything. A success story without failing is just a fiction. I’ve learnt more from my failures than from my success.

As opposite as they seem, it’s quite amazing the similarities they share; Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm, its 99% failure. In fact if you want to succeed double your failure rate. To explain this, George Bernard Shaw said “when I was young, I discovered that 9 out of 10 things I did were failures so I did 10 times more work.

No great discovery was made on the first experiment.
