TRY TO FAIL



TRY TO FAIL
Not long ago, I was having a discussion with my friend. We were deliberating on our semester examination which will take place in few days time. During the discussion, I told my friend about how scared, anxious and somewhat unprepared I am. Later he narrated to me issues of those who could not cope with schooling due to low intellectual capacity thereby, quitting schooling for vocational training. Despite that, they still performed woefully due to lack of comprehension. My friend made a statement " Samuel try, just try and when you fail you would know that at least you have tried." I kept pondering and reflecting about these words then I remember a line in Emily Dickinson's poem that state " success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succed".
 This insinuates that it is only those who experienced failure that knows the importance of success therefore, instead of running away from trying just because of he fear of failure, why don't we and if we fail, we get to know more about success. After all, it is only a fool that would try one thing repeatedly and expect different results.
  Stop fear of failure and start trying....Thomas Edison, an American inventor and a businessman failed countless times. He once said " Discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I'll show you a failure". The real failure in life is giving up and stop trying.
  Fine, you have been trying and trying yet abortive. Have you sat down to learn from your past? Or you just keep trying and trying without thinking. Just because what you planned for didn't go well doesn't mean it is useless. The more you keep trying using your " brains", the closer you are to success. So try to fail and know how to succeed.
