Most of us fear the F word. The fearful, four letter word - Fail. It's almost one should never talk about it in public, let alone admit it. Especially it concerns about your career. What is it about failure that makes people shy away from it? Is failure really that bad? Surely, we all must be hate to fail. In our education life, failure is something that almost everyone of us will avoid it. Getting a big red F commonly means the end of the road. After figuring out on what and where exactly we went wrong. Sometime, someone who got a failure during school days, yet turned out well and be a polished figure in their career.
We never made any progress in any aspect of our lives so, how can we realise our full potential if we never experience and learn from our mistake. For instance, Abraham Lincoln; The Political Genius and Ultimate Public Figure had actually failed for many times, yet Lincoln did not quit. He embraced those failures, learned a thing or two, and develop a role model for determination. There are a lot of rise-from-failure stories out there. Even our local iconic business leaders have had to endure failures to get to where they are now. Ask any of them and they will probably agree to the approach that failures can help you in the future. It helps to realise that failure is just a process. Quit simply, if you don't fail, you will never ever learn. There is no shame in failing. Don't be afraid to change, you may lose something good, yet you may gain something even better. Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently - Henry Ford.
