Obviously, it's the game that they failed in. If
Croatia Team is a failure, they would never
play the game again. Right?
Now let's take an example of Ranbir Kapoor -
one of the finest actors in Bollywood. Most of
his movies from 2014 to 2017 failed at box
office like Roy, Bombay Velvet, Jagga Jasoos,
etc. Now think for a moment - did Ranbir
Kapoor failed or his movies failed?
Halt for 10 more seconds and think about the
answer.
It's the movie that failed - right?
If Ranbir would have taken the failures
personally to his heart, he would never come
with super-hit Sanju.
Now, let's come to our situation. When you
fail in your project or work - what has truly
failed?
Did "you" fail or you have failed in one of the
"attempt" or "effort"?
Halt for 10 seconds and think about the
answer.

You have failed in one just attempt towards your goal.
Failing is just one of the exams in your life. It's not your
entire life. Your life is full of pursuits and your goal is one
of the pursuits. Life is like a cricket match of 50 overs and
failing in one effort is just one over of that match. That's it.
Be it Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Amitabh
Bachchan or YOURSELF - everyone fails in some pursuits.
All the legends are aware that there is no point in taking
failure personally. It's just a part of the journey. In fact
stories of all successful people have common denominator -
they all had big failures in their lives which gave them
valuable life lessons and most importantly character of
strength.
To kill the conversation of failure in your mind is to get
aware that you can NEVER be a failure. It's CRIME to take
failure personally. You have 100's of pursuits in life and you
have ailed in one of the pursuit and that's perfectly okay.
You will always have next chance, next opportunity - next
attempt.
