Wisdom can’t be gained in a single day or an epiphany moment. One needs to work 
towards developing a deeper understanding of how our mind works in impacting our 
lives. Our mind is a complex labyrinth of emotions and intellect that works 24*7/365 
days to process various information. When the processing is not properly done, or 
the mind gets tired of processing all the complex data, failures occur. It is the gap 
between planning and execution. We make plans and often cannot execute them 
properly, leading to failures.
So, the first step in failure prevention is to learn from the previous mistake. Our past 
mistakes can be our guide. We can take significant life lessons from what went 
wrong in our past attempts. The significant step is to try. Because, without effort and 
trial, no one can reach the height of success. By doing so, we can transform our 
failures into successes.
Failure is the stepping stone to taste success. If we do not fail, we will never 
learn from our mistakes, rectify them, and achieve success. On the path to 
success, facing challenges is something inevitable. Hence, having a positive 
mindset and the power to transform them into opportunities for success is the 
mark of a strong individual.
Individuals who turned their Failures into Success
Some of the most famous people in the world had to taste failure before they 
could succeed in their journey towards greatness. For example, Albert Einstein, 
the greatest scientist of all time faced expulsion from an elementary school. He 
was even refused admission to the Zurich Polytechnic School. But, how he 
changed his life and the destiny of modern Physics is history.
Sir Walt Disney, the founder of Disney and the father of the animation industry 
was fired from his job by a newspaper editor stating lack of imagination; he 
failed several business attempts before he became a movie mogul and established 
the billion-dollar Walt Disney Company.
History is ripe with many such examples of men/women who achieved greatness 
after many failed attempts at their profession. Even people like Bill Gates and 
Steve Jobs have tasted failure before becoming undisputed leaders in electronic 
advancement. Bill Gates was a Harvard dropout. He failed in his first attempt, 
called “Traf-O-Data”. Even J.K. Rowling, the famous author of the most popular 
wizardry book series, “Harry Potter” went penniless at a point in her life. She 
was depressed and divorced, surviving on a welfare fund before she started 
writing her masterpiece Harry Potter. She is the one among the richest women in 
the world in leading business magazines.
If you read the biographies of any of these famous people, you will know that 
they struggled a lot before they got their big break and utilized that opportunity 
to create history. Always think positive and work hard, as it enhances your 
confidence. You can design strategies based on patterns that have worked earlier 
for you and build resilience. Whatever insights you have derived from the past, 
apply them to your future projects to become successful. Never give up, and 
celebrate even the small wins.
