There Are No Losers, Only Learners

Failure is a sad reality of life as it brings morale down and disappointment. We might try out some new things or give a new thing a trial of faith and later ending up failing in them. Does that mean we are losers? Does trying and failing makes one a ĺoser? Well, I say there are no losers, only learners. We learn every time and everyday in whatever actions we take whether it was successful or not. Failing also shouldn't weigh us down or let us lose hope in life. It is he who failed and bounced back up that is praised and not he who just failed and refused to get back right on track. We lose to try again but better than the last attempt, we survive a battle to live to fight another one again.

Like a piece I read in Jelena article where she said we should always be moving that if we can't fly, we should run, if you can't run, walk, if you can't walk,limp, if you can't limp, crawl, in whatever don't let the setbacks of failing or having failed get to you. Though all things might seem to have been lost, as the thought of recovering what have been lost looks impossible but it doesn't mean it isn't achievable. Many people have lost hope in life due to one reasons or another and I would say failure is one of those reasons. Some fail to learn from their mistakes before setting foot on the next adventure and ends up losing on both fronts, he who fail to learn from experiences would suffer bitter ends of it as they say "Experience is the best teacher". It can be likened to a student who wrote an exams and failed it, saw his mistakes and prepared again for the next exams but also failed - we wouldn't say the student isn't prepared or learnt from his mistakes as he wouldn't make the same mistakes that led to him failing the first exams in the second exams.

A point is that trying again doesn't mean or guarantee success but we won't redo what we did that led to the first failure and we would have learnt from all failures.

All these doesn't mean we shouldn't try all out best in the first attempt but failure is inevitable in some aspects and has to be embraced and lessons learned from it. I can bluntly say that there are some people who haven't failed in any areas in their lives ... strange we might say but such people might have banked and learnt from the failures of others and had their experiences to guide them.

A parting word , always learn from mistakes made and experience is the best teacher.
