Default Failure - A Pillar of Success

Kindly, critically evaluate it. Your suggestions and criticism would be much appreciated. I would like a word on the paragraphs division. Tear it apart, find as many errors as you can. You'll be rewarded by Allah.

Success is always a pleasing experience. Failure; on the other hand, is hard to digest. It leads many towards the lowest point of moods, causing them depression and phobias. Does this mean, failure is a fact and it exists as a result of our incompetence? The answer to that lies in man's own perception. If you’re an optimist, then even your failures are gems. Because failure is not a fact, it's just a mindset.
With the rapid growth and advancements in our lives, many of us feel the pressure to always and forever meet success at every task. As if success, is the only outcome, acceptable in the sight of others. This unrealistic behavior in reality, that rejects the possibility of imperfect situations and outcomes, paves the way for our true downfall. Failure in this world shouldn't be seen as something dark and eternal, rather; it must be dealt with spirit of hope. Because the moment you allow yourself to look beyond the surface level and be positive, you make your failure disappear. It no longer defines you nor controls you. In fact, you turn it into a positive.
Imagine, for instance, the life of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. When he was struggling to make people believe in One God, he was not only outlawed but ridiculed to the highest of degrees in his own home town. From being one of their heroes, he became a zero in the sight of the chieftains of Makkah. The incident of Ta'if reminds us of the harsh circumstances that Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him had to face in pursuit of something he believed in. But he never gave up. Because he peace be upon him didn't see his failure at Ta'if and Makkah as an absolute future for his cause.
Therefore, History as well as logic, teaches us to turn the tables over and use our failures to find success with even more zeal and fervor. Although failure is an antonymous for success in bookish terms, men of great courage refuse to see it as one and view it as merely a stepping stone for success.
To quote Thomas Edison's famous words, “I have not failed 1000 times; I have successfully discovered 1000 ways to not make a light bulb.”, wouldn’t be wrong.

your material is great but it needs certain standrization in my bird eye view.
Bottom line: first, define success in parallel to failure.
second, a bit history of failures, who by hardwork, firm belief, blessing of Allah S.W.T and all necessasry ingredients in the pathway had hosted success. here you may cite famous nations, personalities etc.
third: feeling of being failed (depression, criticism, hoplessness etc)
last: how to show it a exit door.
you may decorate it with quotes too.
jazak Allah

Thank you so much for your feedback. I can do that but I'm confused about something, wouldn't adding so much of that , like history and information on famous personalities, increase the over all length of the expansion and may turn it into a short essay? Or do we have to actually write it like an essay?

Thumbs up Failure is a pillar of sucess

Dear u can also have some points and ideas from this one...
.
“Failure is not fatal, it call be the stepping stone to success, if you call 11Iake ‘the failure’ to work for you.” “Failures are our best teachers, they are the mirrors who show us our real face. “

Every successful man fails at some time. Failure-tells you about your weaknesses, shortcomings, lack of preparations, lack of efforts so if you can manage to learn from failures, you will definitely reach where you started out to go. Making a mistake is not a crime, the ability to learn from it contribute to lasting success. Extract the lesson to be learnt from failure and try again with redoubled vigor. Facing failure make one strong, more wise and more resolute, spur them on to greatest efforts. There is no failure in truth save from within; unless we are beaten there, wear we are bound to succeed.

‘Failures’ means lack of preparation, lack of competitiveness, lack of analyzing the things properly. Failures not only tell us that we couldn’t prepare ourselves up to the level of success and reveal our shortcomings, but also give us encouragement to try again with more preparations, with more labour and with more hard work. Failures are the stepping stones to success. Every successful man has failed, not once but ‘ several times, in their life, but they analyzed the things in real perspective and tried again with more vigor and zeal and got success. Failures should not allowed to create frustration, desperateness or disappointment, instead failure should be taken as a boon which give you strength to fight back with fierce fortitude and invincible zeal.

One who try, is always the better than the one who dare not to try, only a person who dares to try can have a chance of success. Blessed are those, who once failed, is a saying worth to follow. It means that the failures make us capable to evaluate our shortcomings and purge us to reach the higher ideals, higher planks.

Abraham Lincoln failed very many times in his life, but never got frustrated and fought with more determination, with full devotion and became the President of America. Indian freedom fighters including Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Lal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, saw face of failures not once but several times, but never daunted or became desperate they all had fought to attain the sacred goal of attaining freedom, and as a result, they attained it.

Nothing that comes too easily is worth satisfying? When you want to succeed, be ready to pay the price for it, which include braving failures and setbacks and keep persistent with your efforts till the goal is achieved. The reasons of failure may seem staggering if viewed collectively but looked at individually, they will no longer be formidable. You can either be defeated or discouraged by failure or you can learn from it and analyze the causes of failure, remove them and endeavour again with all your strength and energy, it is sure30u will get success.

Mere talking idle, day dreaming or aimless drifting will not take you to goal, but only divert your attention and dissipate your energy and strength. Hardships, obstacles, failures are the various moments in the way of success. They are not to be evaded but to face them bravely, courageously and with double vigor.

A Child can seldom learn to walk, without making sustained and sincere efforts in the process tumbling and falling down a number of times. His failure never deter him to stop standing again. The doggedness in the child’s resolve lies in making any number of attempts to stand up and walk whatever be the pain or fear of fall.

The failures are the real path-indicators of success. The failures give us clues to rectify our mistakes and tell us how to club our efforts in the right direction so that we get success one day positively.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Little minds are tamed and subdued by failures, misfortunes, but great minds rise above it. We must face every adverse circumstance as its master and do not let it master us. Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their failures in the beginning. So failures are the pillars of success, stepping stones to success.
