Pitfalls in life !

ANGER

Fall about in life with unexpected remorse and emotional break-down or failure, which is according to me just a part of life which we all face unwillingly. There is not a single person who willingly wants to fail and go down one step in the game of life. People stumble upon failure whenever they try to do something or make something, and we often have heard that our failures are the best teachers. But why do we fail? And what is that makes failure the best teacher? I bet we all know the answer but there is a little more to it than what just pleases the eye. Everyone thinks that a person failed in a particular task, only when he might have not worked hard enough for that particular task. I beg to differ because not always it is like that.

Failure is an outcome of an activity done wrong or not how it should have been done. Failure also comes when a person fails to understand the situation. So what is it that makes us fail in a task? The answer lies within us and not outside. It is a common tendency to blame the outside for our failure. It is human nature that we miss to see that it is not the world but us that makes the right or wrong decision. For example, if a person wins he might less often say that it’s because of the world and more often recognizes himself as the main reason for his success, but is the same person loses then the natural instincts directs his blames ray to the world keeping him aloof from the ray. And it is that we all know but never paid heed to. So failure is encountered when one misses the mark of the objective. In simpler words, there are two reasons why people fail in life, one, being that they didn’t put the required efforts needed and the second being the lack of attention to the instructions. The part of not putting enough efforts in a job is self- explanatory but not paying attention to details or instructions? What is that?

According to me, the main reason why most of the times we fails is because we lack the attentiveness we require, while listening or understanding the details given to us. The lack of interest is caused by ego, over-confidence or in some cases lack of awareness. And people fall for this every time. A person might given all what he had for a job and thought that he did the best anyone can ever do, but when the time comes, fails. Why? Just because he missed out the main objective of the whole activity, as he didn’t pay attention. So failure is obviously not just lack of attention, it more. Although my point is that it’s not necessary that you only fail when you don’t do a job a perfectly, you may also fail when you are covered with the mist of ego and over-confidence.

And the reason for me saying all this is that I have suffered failure myself I mostly when I thought I knew everything and it took me a whole new level of maturity to understand that I failed not because the world was unjust or they cannot measure my talent or so on, but I failed because I was wrapped up around my own egoistic over-confidence which led me to my downfall. I know failures can teach you where you went wrong, it gives you another chance to rectify, and start over again with the previous experience. But we should not overlook the fact that we fail because we are blinded by our own self. I want people to understand this  as early as possible in the life because failures are the part of life and it will not stop coming then why should you?
