Failure is unavoidable, especially if you are trying to stretch yourself beyond your current abilities.And stretch yourself you must, if you wish to grow.Failing can be hard especially if you react to it emotionally–i.e.hide your failure from significant others,deny it,minimize it,try to ignore it,try to avoid risk,be overcautious etc.
A failure is just a temporary set back as long as a person gets up,dusts themselves off and starts again.So the important thing is to recover fast.One way to control negative emotions is to replace negative and emotional thoughts with positive ones so that we recover hope and confidence.Henry Ford’s words could form one of those thoughts to recover faster.
