lots of great invetions
came out of a failure

Thank ya very much Twister for the great topic. As a reader, I thought I should post some comments I got out of this topic.

First and formost, failure and failing ourselves are too far different criteria. Failure is the inevitable outcome of constructing the personality we always aspire to have, while failing ourselves is the idea of failing to maintain the current image and character we are in.
As for the seven definitions of failure, I see only number one six, and seven that best describe failure: 1- Failing to act on the dreams and visions you have for yourself” & 6 – “Failing to continually raise your standards each day. 7- Accepting complacency.” ” For me, those three definitions disclose the failure of the person and best describe his/her inability to go further in pursuing any kind of development for hid/her character. This means he/ she surrenders from struggling any further. Accordingly, this implies that failure is the human inability to MOVE FORWARD; his/her inability to pursue success; his/her inability to keep moving. Thus, failure embodies a motion, while failing oneself is ADMITTING failure.

Now, I m gonna try to support why I didn’t choose the other definitions, and in the meantime I am gonna look for justifications in order to clarify my outlook, but not to convince the reader as everyone has his/her outlook on failure. As I am in shortage of time, I will sum up my outlook for every definintion in a word, and if this would generate discussions, I will be happy to elaborate later for further explanations. so: 2
definition no. two: “Not picking yourself up after you mess up” (For me, it is desperation rather than failure, cuz ya have been messed up, but ya were before unmissed!!!! that is desperation and not failure)

3- Hurting others for personal gain, whether on purpose or accident” (For me, this is selfishness or lack of awarness respectivily and not failure)…

4- Failing to understand WHY you are on this planet in the first place” (for me, this is ignorance.)..

5- Failing to understand that you are here to serve others, and in exchange your needs will be taken care of” (For me, this is lack of wisdom)

Thank ya again very much…
