Introduction
Failure has become a part of human lives since the fall of man. It is very difficult for us to accept failure because most people see failure as defeat. However, the truth is nobody plans to fail in life, but it is very common to see failure in every aspect of human.
Failure is the only thing in life that no one includes in his or her planned to-do list. We plan to get married, we plan to have children. We plan to start business, and we plan to do almost everything in life. All these things that I have mentioned are things we fail often. Do we fail because of our carelessness or because of inadequate knowledge about things we fail?
Does failure have a significant impact in our lives? Have you ever asked yourself where did failure come from? This book would answer most of your questions about failure. Are you tired of failing many times? Do you know that your failure could be turned to success? Failure is the best teacher in life anyone who wants to taste success must pass through its hands.
Perhaps you have failed in your marriage, your job, your business and any other things that you have failed in life and because of that, you have given up. Remember failure become a defeat when you give up. It doesn’t matter how many times you have tried, but you keep failing. Your failure in life does not make you the worst person in this world, but it makes the most experience person in life. You will learn more about people who failed in life, but because they did not give up, they became greatest people.
This story is about a young girl who started very well but due to some reasons, she failed miserably. She threw her two sons away after given birth to them and got involved in many evil practices. She became hopeless because failure was following her everywhere she goes. Her own parents and best friends left her when she was desperately in need. Her failure turned to Success because of some things she realized about herself. Her life changed completely and those children she threw away became successful people. How did she do it? You will discover how she did it. Failure is inevitable in life, but if we know how to handle them, we can turn them easily to success.
Perhaps your parents, ex-wife, ex-husband, your formal boss, friends and your co-workers have told you that you cannot make it because of your situation. You should remember that your enemies are not God, so they cannot stop you from doing what you want to do.
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
