Being a 20 years old is not an easy task. You have already met about half of the type of the people of your society. Please do remember I am talking about type and yes there are types of people which we can discuss later in briefs because for now we are just going to discuss about the people who are scared of failures and the people who are excited of facing the failures .Now I have met people in my life who are eventually frightened of failures, just a mere mention of it freaks them out. But today let me tell you your perception about failures was always wrong because FAILURE IS SEXY and I am not going to add any ifs or but's with it because it is indeed. With Failure, comes an amazing feeling associated with it which I call it productiveness adrenaline rush. Whenever I fail in certain things it gives me an adrenaline rush of how can i do things which is going to take me towards success, and a sense of accomplishment that I did something and I failed in it because doing something and completing it is in itself a difficult task. I have read somewhere that your first step is very important for any task but I say ending a particular task is equally important. Most of the people have a very good start and when they are very near to their goals they give up saying that my work was not going to give me any result anyways .This incompetency is rather called your downfall. FAILURE has the ability of giving people immense confidence. Whenever I fail in any of my attempts towards my goals, my self-confidence instantly reaches its peak .It gives me a sense that I have already failed now I don't have to live up to the image of being an ingenious. My mind starts saying that you have already failed in your first attempt, people have already made an opinion about you or rather called you a failure and you know its pros and cons so don't be afraid of taking your next attempt and you might fail again and again but then a time will come when you will emerge victorious, but if you give up after your first attempt you will never be able to change the opinion of others about you and show them that you are indeed a genius and you will eventually lose all your confidence.
Failure gives us an opportunity of adventure, it gives us a situation of doing or dying. After facing a failure you will either taste victory or you will die (not in literal meaning) but this totally depends on your work as well as your perception towards failure. Take it as an accomplishment, not everyone faces failure because not everyone tries. Think it as sexy makeover, it's going to change you entirely which you have not even imagined in your wildest dreams( but again it depends on your work and perception), its either going to make you as gorgeous as a celebrity or it may become a disaster and you might look like a ghost . Failure is a like a potter it can either make a person and shapes it or it can totally destroy you and reduce you to a heap of clay. If a failure has come in to your life it has come for a reason, it has come to make you stronger than you are right now, it has come to make you something which your future self is going to be proud of. You will be thankful for it in future .So please change your perception towards failure and stop being disheartened and keep working.
