‘I failed. Mylife is useless now.’
‘I am no more a useful person to anyone.’
‘I can’t achieve anything in my life.’
‘I wasted so much money and so much
time.’
‘I broke someone’s trust.’
‘This is the end of my life.’
‘I should die.’
Anyone who is facing failure trauma
usually piled up with these odd kind of
thoughts.

Every one ofus faced failure someday and
may face it in the future, because human life
starts with learning and failure is the key to
learning and Ultimately learning is the key to
success.
Just facing failure is not the key to success,
but learning from failure and gracefully
emerging out of the failure instead of quitting
from the situation, is the next path toward
success.

During my engineeringcourse, I remain in the top three
students of the class. So I always thought that I would get
job very easily.
But when I became the part of the battle, I failed. I failed
twenty four times. I faced twenty four software company’s
interview sessions, but I failed.
After that I got jobs back to back in five multinational
companies. After each failure I cried a lot, but never dying
attitude helped me to win.
During that tough time I get to know that it’s not an easy
task to overcome failure trauma but neither it’s too tough.

If someone hasbeen the victim of failure, he/she
doesn’t easily get the way to come out from this
stigma. Many people suffer from depression.
The victim’s mind tries to find the easiest way to get
out of the situation - get disappear from the world,
in short suicide.
This situation becomes worse for teens. Even
sometimes, parents don’t know how to deal with
this thing. So if you’ll know the way to deal with
failure, you will never have a fear of failure, which
may stop you from pursuing your dream.
So instead of diving into the depression world, let’s
find out a way to deal with the word ‘Failure’.

Failure could beof any type: Failure in love,
failure in education, failure in relationships,
failure in career, etc. Human efforts are prone
to errors and failures.
If you just faced failure or if in future you face
failure any day, follow the below 7 steps plan:
Step 1: Keep a hankie as your companion with
you. Cry out aloud in your room, feel all the
odd things which happened to you.
7.
Step 2: Shareit with your nearer one, with whom you feel comfortable
in sharing the problem. They can be your parents, friends, and
spouse.
If you find uneasy to share this in person; write a letter or write an e-
mail to them.
If you really do not want to share it with anyone, write your all
grudges on a blank paper (don’t try to write it in proper language,
just make it easy) and keep that paper in a safe place because in
future when you will read this, you will laugh at it.

Step 3: Givea treat to yourself. Do what you love. Enjoy good food, do
shopping, watch movies, listen music or just follow your hobby.
Step 4: Failure’s first fear is, ‘what people would say?’ So face it.
Whenever people discuss about your failure, just take it easy and
laugh along with people.
Step 5: Do analysis of your failure. Ask yourself a series of questions.
What I did wrong? I would not have failed, if I have done this.
9.
Step 6: Itsfine, you failed but from now start trying to find new ways
and new options to get success. Do complete research. You can
take more days because this step/process matters a lot for future
action plans. At the end finalize the way you want to choose to
work upon or if you want to do totally new thing choose the new
destination.
Step 7: Gear up yourself for the new work. Do complete
researches for new work, read inspiring stories, try to keep
positive environment around you. Try to be away from negative
thoughts.
Go ahead with the above plan and break the failure stigma suit. It
is a tough process but not impossible.

Say to yourself:I can accept failure, but can’t accept quitting.
Lesson: Failure is the part of effort, but make sure, you keep the
things always in mind which caused failure for you and vow not to
follow the same.
Share with me: Please share your story or your way. What you did
when you faced failure. How you overcame and started walking
again. You never know, maybe your story can help someone to
overcome his/her odd time. You own way can inspire someone to
shrug off the failure.
