Failure is an inevitable part of success. The document discusses many examples of successful people who experienced failures and setbacks but refused to give up. It emphasizes that champions understand it is better to face outstanding failures than mediocre successes, and that those who persist despite temporary setbacks and midway failures are the ones who can finally sign their own success stories. It encourages the reader to never give up, keep moving forward, and view challenges positively as questions looking for alternative solutions rather than as failures.

Presentation I gave at the Time Millionaires conference - September 2012.
Discussing 7 key mindset shifts for business and personal development for those in the fitness & health industry. Keys for creating the life you want.
Mindsets are your beliefs and they affect your life and your success in business and your life.
Do you let failure or success define your life, or do you view them as opportunities? Do you view your qualities carved in stone and that you will have to prove yourself over and over and over or that the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life.
Do you view your life as a test or as a journey.
Here are top 6 positive thinking tips that can help you change the way you think about other people and things around. To learn more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/discover-16-positive-thinking-tips/.
1. Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated
All people wish to be treated with respect. The way that you behave others shows your personality. Therefore, if you want to have good personality, including positive thoughts, you should treat other people the way you want to be treated. If you want to be trusted by friends, learn to trust them first. If you want to be loved by your relatives, learn to love them first. If you want to be welcomed by neighbors, learn to welcome them first.
2. Be Tolerant
In order to build positive thoughts, you should learn to forgive people who make you sad or angry. You even need to learn to forgive the ones who offend you. No matter what they do to you, they are teaching you some good lessons in life.
Moreover, you should be honestly happy when people around you succeed in life or at work. Do not be jealous with them as jealousy is one of the typical causes of negative thinking.
3. Avoid Negative Self-Talk
Among positive thinking tips, avoiding negative self-talk is the most important. What you talk to yourself also will result in the way you behave people around. If your mind is full of negative self-talk, you will not be able to treat others with respect as you may believe that they do not deserve your good behavior. When you are in that situation, try to eliminate your negative talk, and tell yourself that everyone may make mistakes, but everyone has something for you to learn from.
4. Do Meditation Or Yoga
Bath helps clean your body and meditation helps clean and refresh your mind. People who meditate on a regular basis have more positive thoughts than the ones who do not meditate. Meditation will certainly become the future of mankind. If you are a wise person, you should start doing meditation today to enjoy its benefits, to think more positively, and to have a better life.
Yoga helps you stop thinking negatively about others as it is really relaxing when you do it. Doing yoga also helps ease and refresh your mind, building positive thoughts.
5. Help People Around
If you can live for others, your mind will always be clean and relaxed. Helping people around is one of the top positive thinking tips. When you try your best to give others a helping hand, you are building your dignity. What you give others will certainly return to you some ways. If you help others, your mind will be built up with love, respect, and gratitude. As a result, you will be thinking positively.
6. Make Friends With Positive People
When you are with positive people, you can learn from them the way they treat others, and the way they think about life. You will gradually change the way you think as positive as they do.
Mindset for Achievement: How to Boost Achievement and Fulfillment Through Min...BayCHI
Carol Dweck at BayCHI, May 11, 2010: Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference. In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. Dweck's research also shows that praising intelligence can harm motivation by creating a fixed mindset. People also tend to believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They're wrong. In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities. Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports.
Top 20 Things Successful People Do All the TimeBrian Sullivan
Successful people have a certain mindset. They develop specific habits to tackle problems and everyday life. After 50 years and many hard lessons, I decided to share 20 things successful people in my life have done.
An overview of Dr. Carol Dweck's "Growth Mindset" concept, as popularized by her Mindset book and TED talk. As a manager, I used this presentation to help my team members embrace change at work by understanding they can learn new skills and use setbacks and feedback to ultimately be successful in a changing work environment.
I had to present months ago to the team about a topic I was interested in and thought would be great to share in hope that it would be useful at work. I've finally put it on SlideShare. Hopefully this presentation lights a spark in you as it did with me as I was reading up on it.
Motivate yourself, because you know yourself more than anyone else in this world, you know your weaknesses and strenghts. This presentation is an easy guide and a bundle of ideas with which you can take yourself towards a target. It also includes the actions you can take to keep away from the virus of negative thoughts and people. A good amount of inspirational pictures from various websites are also included which picture your imagination to the bright side of the life and relieves your mind that still life is not over and still there is a chance to move on.
Meet the challenges, and defeat them.
Opportunities will never approach you, you have to discover them and utilise them 100%.
Accelerate in the best way you can towards your goal and one day you will see that success was always yours it was always your weakness to not to recognise it.
Wish you the BEST OF LUCK.

Unleash your Creative Adventure by Stepping into the Discomfort Zone!Harish
What do you think is one of the most important indicators of great progress on any journey?
Have you experienced getting into a new creative venture and remember being really excited for a little while?
And then you hit against a wall? Things were going well and you felt comfortable but you had this nagging feeling that you were not making much progress.
You may have an ideal of your creative dreams and passions being effortless and painless. And you may seek being comfortable because it reinforces those ideas of effortlessness.
Let at look at some ways we get stuck in our comfort zone and how to step into the discomfort zone where the real growth happens.
Even if your grandparents had been science fiction writers, it would have been hard for them to predict how the evolution of technology played out to affect your life. You may have heard something like “Back when I was a kid, we didn’t have television”, from a sagely octogenarian when you were young. Now think about what we might be telling our great-grandchildren along the same vein.
Wether you're a freelance designer, or you're working in-house for a design agency or company, you need to be passionate about what you do. In this presentation I'm trying to help upping your passion by a variety of do's and don'ts.
This lesson, written by Phillip Hines, helps young people understand that respect for parents in the home leads to respect for other authority figures later. It is the 11th lesson in the PEARLS book for Lads to Leaders.
2. Refuse to remain fallen.
Refuse to quit.
Refuse to give up.
Refuse to accept a 'No' from life.
Just Say No
3. To fail without putting in
the efforts is wrong, but
failure in itself can never
be wrong.
Dare to fail, for only those who fail enough
can succeed enough. More than any one
single factor, it is your fear of failure that is
going to leave you as a failure.
4. No new venture guarantees
success and no new diversification
promises profits.
5. Champions understand
that it is better to face
outstanding failures than
mediocre successes.
Only those who are willing to persist in spite
of temporary set backs,
only those who are willing to persevere in
spite of midway failures,
only those who would not succumb to
defeats, can finally sign their own success
stories.
6. Failure is a parenthesis inside
which success hides and
history makers dig them out
through relentless striving
against all those failures.
7. Life cannot be punctuated
with success alone; failure
too will find its imprints.
There is no sunrise without sunset.
There is no life without death.
There is no success without failures.
8. "Achievement seems to be connected
with action. Successful men and
women keep moving. They make
mistakes, but they don't quit."
Conrad Hilton
9. You don't have to accept your
failure if what you really want
to achieve is success.
Failure, they say, is the best teacher. We learn
and have more confidence in what we know
through trial and error, which onetime or
another has resulted in failure.
10. For every successful
achievement, there
have been one or
more failures. But
those who we call
successful are those
who refuse to accept
failure and believe
success is the other
side of failure.
11. Any time your effort is not
bringing a desired result, you
don't have to call it a failure.
Call it a challenge.
What is the difference between the two? One
is negative, the other is positive; one doesn’t
motivate, the other motivates.
12. What you need is
positive thinking
and motivation to
attain success.
Keep dreaming
keep moving; that
is the solution to
success.
13. Failure is an end thing;
challenge is an open
thing.
Failure means there is no way out, no
alternative, but a challenge is a question
mark asking another way out of the situation,
an alternative solution to the problem, the
job at hand.
14. "All who have accomplished great things
have had a great aim, have fixed their
gaze on a goal which was high, one which
sometimes seemed impossible."
15. A wise man once said if you cannot
fly, run. If you cannot run, walk. If
you cannot walk, crawl; just keep
on moving.
If you fall down, you have to get up and start
moving. If not, other people will step on you
towards their achievement.
What you call failure and abandon is what
someone will step into with just a little
additional effort to reach achievement.
Balogun M. Adewale
16. "Many of life's failures are people
who did not realize how close they
were to success when they gave up.“
Thomas Edison
17. Never regret a day in your life. Good
days give you happiness. Bad days give
you experiences; Both are essential to
life. Keep going...
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only You keeps You Going!
18. "Life is not easy for any of us.
We must have perseverance
and above all confidence in
ourselves. We must believe
that we are gifted for
something and that this thing
must be attained.“
Marie Curie
19. Luck is defined as "Preparation
meeting Opportunity".
Abraham Lincoln believed in preparation
before aiming at anything BIG and did
whatever it took to get the dream
accomplished.
It is recorded in history books that Abraham
Lincoln would go to schools on weekends and
speak from the podium, as if the empty chairs
were occupied by real people, because he was
told that he needed to practice speaking in
public.
20. Here is the list of his failures before he
became the US President in 1860:
Lost job, 1832
Defeated for legislature, 1832
Failed in business, 1833
Elected to legislature, 1834
Sweetheart (Ann Rutledge) died, 1835
Had nervous breakdown, 1836
Defeated for Speaker, 1838
Defeated for nomination for Congress, 1843
Elected to Congress, 1846
Lost re-nomination, 1848
Rejected for Land Officer, 1849
Defeated for Senate, 1854
Defeated for nomination for Vice-President, 1856
Again defeated for Senate, 1858
21. You are the greatest miracle in the
world. There is nothing that you can't
achieve in life if you believe in it and do
not waste your valuable time in
destructive things.
Just sit for few minutes and start counting the
blessings you already have in your life,
starting with: being alive, having eyes to look,
a nose to breathe, ears to hear, a brain to
think and the list goes on.
22. It is said that nothing succeeds like
success. But to be victorious, winners
must exercise some level of doggedness;
persevere in their earliest efforts when
things look most challenging.
23. Life is so good and beautiful. When we
look around, there is so much peace,
harmony, and beauty in nature that
should give us a happy heart to
appreciate everything.
When I pause for a moment and think about
so many people wasting their life in
unproductive activities, it gives me so much
pain that I wish I could individually sit with
that person and spend some time telling
him/her how valuable life is.
24. A great person has dreams
and goals and never let's
other people's negativity get
in their way of pursuing them.
25. Before we think there is nothing we can
achieve that is useful, let's think twice, may
be ten times, even a hundred or a thousand
times and let's always remember this:
"NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP."
When one is determined and focused to
accomplish something worthwhile, many
obstacles and challenges will arise on the
way. As long as the goal is crystal clear and
mind is determined to get it done, nothing
can stop him or her.
26. A great person is a person that fails time
after time while doing their best and
never, ever quits because when they quit,
part of them dies when they quit.
27. Without focus, they try one thing
today and another one tomorrow
and then another one believing
they are supposed to make it with
one try.
I have never seen someone with a focus who
has not achieved the goal, although it might
come from where and when least expected.
28. A great person will allow nothing to
stand in his or her way of doing the
right thing by everyone and will always
admit wrong with an apology.
29. Do everything legitimate to
be the best at it and money
and fame will naturally be
added to it.
Most of the time, those who scatter their
efforts and resources are people who desire to
be financially free and attain fame.
All you need is one course of action you are
passionate about, with a never let go attitude,
and in no time you will achieve your desired
goal; be a tailor, an artist, a teacher, a writer
and nothing but that.
30. Many of us whip and defeat on why we can't,
when the only thing worth concentrating on is
why and how we can.
31. Man belongs to where he wants to go.
Think 'improvement' in everything you do
and think 'high standards' in everything
you do. Believe it can be done.
When you believe it is impossible, your mind
goes to work to prove why. But when you
believe and really believe that something can
be done, then your mind goes to work to help
find ways of doing it.
32. Believing something can be done
sets the mind in motion to find a
way of doing it. There is a way.
And, there is a better way.
33. Capability is the ability to better what you are
already doing. Capacity is about doing more
of what you are already doing. Improve your
capability. Increase your capacity. That's
progress.
Constantly remind yourself that you are
better than you think you are so you can do
everything in a better way than how you are
already doing it.
Also, constantly remind yourself that you are
not doing as much as you can so you can do
more of everything than what you are
already doing.
34. In almost everything in life, from work to home to
community development, the formula for success is -
'do what you do even better' (improve the quality of
your output) and 'do more of what you do' (increase
the quantity of what you do).
35. Don’t give up, no matter what you do, never ever give up. It is not just a slight hope, it
is a guaranteed result! If you want different results, change your approach and use
other strategies so that you’ll get different results. You know it very well that if you
keep on doing what you’re doing right now, it is impossible for you to be successful.
36. Learn from your
failures and
move on. Keep
on keeping on.
When a winner
loses, always
come back to be
better winner.

38. I decided to face my fear head
on and committed to give it my
all. Once committed, everything
changed.
So, today I have no blame game to play, no
reasons to look back and nothing to regret.
Today I have some dreams to fulfill, goals to
achieve, forts to conquer, roads to walk,
battles to win and above all a life to LIVE and
ENJOY!!!
