FAILURE

Nine Things About Failure

1.To fail is not the same as being a failure.
One may have many failings and yet still be far from being a failure.

2.To fail is not the disgrace everyone thinks it is.
To err is to do nothing more than to join the human race.

3.Failure is only a temporary setback.

4.Failure is never the final chapter of the book of your life unless you give up and quit.

5.Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved without running the risk of failure.
The person who risks everything to try to achieve something truly worthwhile and fails is anything but a disgraceful failure.

6.Failure is a natural preparation for, success.
Strange as it may seem to some of you, success is much more difficult to live with successfully than is failure.

7.Every failing brings with it the possibilities of something greater.
Analyze failure under whatever circumstances you choose, and you will discover some seeds for turning failure into success.

8.What you do with failures in your life is up to you.
Failure is either a blessing or a curse, depending upon the individual reaction or response to it.

9.Failings are opportunities to learn how to do things better the next time and to learn where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them.

The best possible thing to do with failure is to learn all you can from it.

EGO

There was once a learned scientist..

After a lot of practice and efforts, he developed a formula and learned the art of reproducing himself. He did it so perfectly that it was impossible to tell the reproduction from the original.

One day while doing his research, he realized that the Angel of Death was searching for him. In order to remain immortal he reproduced a dozen copies of himself. The reproduction was so meticulous that all of them looked exactly like him. Now when this Angel of Death came down, he was at a loss to know which of the thirteen before him was the original scientist, and confused, he left them all alone and returned back to heaven.

But, not for long, for being an expert in human nature, the Angel came up with a clever idea. He said to the scientist addressing all thirteen of them, "Sir, you must be a genius to have succeeded in making such perfect reproduction formula of yourself. However, I have discovered a flaw in your work, just one tiny little flaw."

The scientist immediately jumped out and shouted, Impossible! where is the flaw?" "Right here" said the Angel, as he picked up the scientist from among the reproductions and carried him off.

The whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproduction failed as he could not control his pride and lost his life.

So while one’s Knowledge and Skills takes one to the top of the ladder and makes one successful, however the three letter word "EGO" can pull one down immediately.

Let go one’s Ego.

ANGER

Anger - Beautiful Explanation

- author not known ( Thanks to him )

Why do I Get Angry ?

We all regret for our anger later. In most circumstances we get angry because we hate the other person or to defense ourselves or with no reason.
Whatever it may me we all know that anger creates enemity, anger causes stress in oneself, anger causes tension etc.. Still we are not in control of it. We all know that anger is not a solution for anything. But still we get angry. Some times our anger gets to the extreme that we are totally out of control of what we are doing at that time.
For example there are incidents where one single word which came out in anger has led to a divorce, a murder, a great business loss etc...
Some activities done while in anger are irreparable. We might have also seen some big personalities going disgraceful because of anger.
I personally was sometimes a victim of this anger. I really did want to know what is happening within us while we are in high temper. What is leading us to some extreme levels that we totally lose control of ourselves.
I did ask a saint like man who i am felt i can ask about this anger in human beings. He explained it to me so well that made me believe it. I realised anger has a funny side of it.

The funny side of Anger

As I asked this man about anger he smiled and after a few seconds pause he started explaining in to me very beautifully.

He questioned me what all do u do when your get angry? I said, I shout, I yell, some times I break things, I hit the other person, I hit the wall and so on.

The man asked me again, So you shout first. Yes I shout, I replied. The man asked me again why do you shout even when the man your angry with is near by you. I thought.

The Man then explained me that when you want to reach out to someone in your room sitting a little distance from you or when you want to reach out to someone on the other end of the road you call them in a loud voice. You almost shout for him or her to hear. That is because of the physical distance you shout.

And then when your angry even though there is no any physical distance you shout at the other person and this is due to the mental distance. As anger gets developed between each other their hearts with which they have loved each other is getting detached. There develops a distance between the hearts of each other.

He further went on explaining, We might have seen lovers walking together or talking over the phone. It is very hard to hear them what they are talking. That is because of the closeness of their hearts. Their words reach each other quickly and clearly even though they talk in a very very low voice. The same lovers when in quarrel shout at each other. That's because their hearts are not as close as they were.The distance of t he hearts make you shout, the man finished.

This explanation has made a very good change in me personally. Nowadays I dont let anger rule me.
