He Who Does Not Fail Does Not Try

You fail, you try again and you fail, because that’s the only way you can learn and achieve your goals. There is no other way to learn than to try again and again.

Success does not come without going for rivets. If you fail, you will learn which path you should not take, and that it is better to find an alternative or to try other things. What would have happened if Thomas Edison had grown tired before he discovered the light bulb? Remember that he succeeded after 999 attempts. He failed again and again, but instead of thinking that he could not overcome his mistakes, he understood that all these mistakes laid the foundation for discovering the light bulb. In his thousandth attempt, he finally succeeded.

To fail and try again is how to discover important things in life. Throwing in the towel after the first try ensures that you do not fail, but also that you do not discover anything interesting. What do you prefer?

“He who fails has less value as a person”

Do you think this is true? How many times have you not heard this sentence ?! Unfortunately, we live in a world of perfectionism and there is not much room for error. There is a lack of patience to develop our most powerful tool: to try and fail.

Since we were little, we have been evaluated. We have been pushed to compete and win 100% of the time. Instead of being happy to discover that we were on the wrong path and that we have the opportunity to find a better path, we are punished for this. We also sometimes hear sentences like “you’re not good at this”, “you’ve always had a hard time with math, it’s not your thing”, “you will never learn”.

All these words lower your self-confidence and you slowly begin to believe that you should never make mistakes, that you should be competent when it comes to everything you do. If you are not, then you are not worth anything. You are a failure and you will never succeed in anything in life.

When you read these words, it may seem like an exaggeration because you are probably calm as you read this article. But when our patience has almost run out, most of us have trouble checking these reviews.

Our irrational thoughts make us suffer when something goes wrong, so that we abandon our goals and our hope. In this way, we avoid failure again, which would have caused our self-confidence to fail once again.

Be more tolerant and less demanding of yourself. Forget the fantasy of being perfect. It is human to err, it is in our nature. This is normal and will always be the case.

It is not written anywhere (except perhaps in your mind) that it makes you stupid to make mistakes, or whatever they call you. And doing something good and being successful does not define you or your worth.

You can either fail or do nothing at all

You choose. If your fear of failure is so great that it prevents you from trying again, it will probably be difficult in the long run. The idea that you are not worth anything will only be strengthened because you are giving yourself the fate you fear: not achieving your goals.

If you do not do something, you will feel better in the short term because you will not have to expose yourself to mistakes, or to criticism that may come from others, or from yourself.

You will spare yourself all that if you do not take a chance. But you will also miss out on many important things, such as the opportunity to learn, overcome your mistakes and develop.

So make the decision to take a risk. Be brave and fail! It’s not a bad thing you’ve learned. It is actually an advantage that can help you improve. Nothing bad will happen if you make a mistake, so do it!
