If you fail in something, don't think of yourself as a failure. It just means that you haven't succeeded in doing the work you were doing. It means that you are only some steps away from achieving your goal. By labeling yourself as a failure you close the door for all possibilities of achieving success. A beautiful example is mentioned below.
There was a man who-
- failed in business at the age of 21
- was defeated in a legislative race at the age of 22
- failed again in business at 24
- over come the death of his girlfriend at 26
- had a nervous breakdown at 27
- lost a congressional race at age of 34
- lost a senatorial race at age 45
- failed to become Vice President at the age 47
- lost a senatorial race at 49
and was elected as the President of the United States at the age of 52! He was none other than Abraham Lincoln. He could have labeled himself a failure and ruin his whole life. Instead, he decided to ignore failure and fight against all odds.
