People who feel afraid of failure will never be winners
'Winners are not afraid of losing, but losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success'. It is one of the greatest quotes said by Robert Toru Kiyosaki, an American businessman and author. As he said, it is winners who never feel afraid of losing or failure. Almost all of the winners have faced failure at least once in their life. However, they dealt with those failures successfully and made good use of them to result in success finally. It is winners who never give up their effort and go to the ends of the earth although they become unsuccessful in their attempts. Losing or failure will never be disturbance to their way to success, but be the driving force behind their success. As Winton Churchill once said, "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm".
Therefore, it is indispensable to go to the ends of the earth with sheer determination and full of courage so as to get success as expected. Thomas Edison, who is regarded as the greatest inventor in the world to the end of time, was first said to be too stupid to learn. Moreover, he failed in his experiments many times. However, he went on hold more than 1,000 patents, including the phonograph and practical electric bulb. His greatest invention, the electric bulb, owes much to the well-lit world today. His success was due to his perseverence in spite of losing which he faced at the very beginning. As he said, he had not failed; he had just found 10,000 ways that wouldn't work. In addition to his own failure, he also thought only positive when his assistants make some mistakes. The bulb he had first made broke into pieces by one of his assistants. Edison tried making a new one instead of blaming his assistant for his clumsiness. He said that he never blamed his assistant because he would never do the same mistake again and learn from that mistake because he had made it once. Thus, losing or failure is just the opportunity to begin again more intelligently and better. Failure is not an end and we can learn best from that failure; we can learn from our mistakes. Oprah Gail Winfrey, an American media executive, actress, talk show host, television producer and philanthropist, is best known for her talk show 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' but she was fired from her first TV job as an anchor in Baltimore. She never felt afraid of failure, so she created her own TV channel and her talk show became the highest-rated television program of its kind in history. Moreover, she was the richest African American of the 20th century and North America's first black multi-billionaire. In 2013, Oprah recounted her experiences during a Harvard commencement speech. She said, "There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction". Her huge success was due to her courage and perseverance. Needless to say, sheer determination, perseverance and courage are all vital to the way to success because we can realize that by reading the biographies of successful people.
There are lots of successful people who can persevere with their work and deal well with losing or failure. It is impossible to write all of their successful stories in one sitting. However, they all have a common quality on their way to success. They all never gave up their effort and desire in spite of difficulties and failures. As a Japanese saying goes, failure is the stepping stone to success. Therefore, we ought to make good use of losing or failure and learn from them. We should hope for the best but prepare for the worst. The way to success is surely rough and we will get some pains. However, as one lyric from the song named 'Believer' by Imagine Dragons, those pains will surely help us become believers and go-getters. Therefore, we should be ready to face any losing or failure and be never be afraid of losing or failure to become a promising winner.
