Discouraging People On Account of Your Failures
December 22nd, 2007 Posted in UncategorizedWe’ve all at one time or another failed at something. Whether it was our first grade science test or the bar exam, failure is something we’ve spontaneously encountered in our everyday lives. What do some people do when failure comes knocking at their door? Something incredibly heartless and stupid.
You Have No Right
Failing at something does not give you the right to discourage others from attempting it. If you tried to climb Mount Everest and failed, fine. Don’t go and discourage others from attempting it – you are simply unqualified to do such a thing.
You Have Absolutely Nothing To Gain
Have you ever sat down for a minute to ask yourself what you have to gain by discouraging someone? Most people do it to supposedly shield their image. They think their image will take a blow if somebody succeeds where they failed. This is simply not the case. Some of us are more talented in certain areas than others – this is something we have to live with. Just because your friend held his breath for 1 minute and you for 30 seconds doesn’t mean people will look at you in a negative light.
Try, Try Again
Any sort of failure calls for some action, which does not involve any sort of discouragement whatsoever. When you fail, you owe it to yourself to once again attempt to succeed. A majority of people are able to accomplish a feat the second time around as opposed to the first. If you’re uneasy about giving things another shot, ask yourself what you have to lose. If it’s not much, you should go for it without hesitation.
