Failure is the first step towards success

Golu was staying with his friends in a rented flat in a city away from Palanpur village. He attended school in the morning and coaching classes in the evening. Being the only son he was pampered by his grandparents and parents. This had made him stubborn and lazy. The city life had made him an entertainment-addict. He did not study properly in school and remained absent from his coaching classes. While all his friends studied at night he would sleep. When his friends asked him to study he would reply that exams are still far and he could prepare for them in some 20 days. After his exams got over, Golu reached home. Suddenly his father fell ill and died. Now, Golu had to take care of his family. He wanted to work in a city. His 12th standard results were announced. He had failed. He did not have the guts to break this news at home so he tried to commit suicide. So many young and adults fear their problems and try to commit suicide. They consume poison, lie on the rail track, hang themselves and gift their families numerous problems to face. Just think! Is suicide the right solution? Committing suicide to save oneself is a big mistake. This will not end your problems but invite more problems.

Failure is the first step towards success.
Failure does not mean you are inferior. It does mean you are not perfect.
Failure does not mean you should give up. It does mean you must try harder.
Failure does not mean you will never make it; It does mean it will take a little longer.
Failure does not mean you are a failure. It does mean you haven’t succeeded yet.
Failure does not mean have been a fool. It does mean you had a lot of faith.
Failure does not mean God has abandoned you. It does mean God has a better idea.
Failure does not mean you have wasted your life. It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.
Failure does not mean don’t have it. It does mean you have to do it in a different way.
Failure does not mean you have accomplished nothing. It does mean you have learned something.
Failure does not mean you have not tried. It does mean you were willing to try.
