A Journey from Failure to Success - 3

Part 3 "Don’t fear for facing failure in the first attempt, because even the successful Maths starts with zero only" ~ APJ Abdul Kalam Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam hailed from a family  whose financial conditions were quite poor . He  supported his family by distributing newspapers after his school hours to add to his father's income. He became a pioneer in the field of Science and worked as an aerospace scientist specializing in making rockets. He was fondly called the  ‘Missile Man’ for his contribution to the development of the missile technology.  At ISRO, his contribution to the India's first space launch-vehicle program was commendable.   He was the recipient of prestigious awards like Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan and Bharat Ratna for his dedication, devotion and meritorious contribution towards making a positive change in our country and advancement in the field of technology.  He later became the ‘President of India’ and was affectionately known as the ‘People’s Pre

Part 2 “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.”   ~  J.K. Rowling From being a jobless single mother to being the author of one of the bestselling fiction series of Harry Potter books,  J.K. Rowling  became the first female billionaire author. However, do you think, it happened overnight? Was it as easy as a piece of cake?  If so, anyone could be a well-known author, a successful programmer, a popular pioneer or a well-off businessman.  She faced rejection many a times but constantly strived for success. She failed to make an impact on the audience with her first book, suffered the setback of a failed marriage, had the pressure to raise a baby daughter single handedly. Finally losing her mother was a major blow for her and she sank in depression. She was not even succeeding as an English teacher.  Her attempts in writing were not proving success

Part 1 "It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." ~ Bill Gates This quote was spoken by  Bill Gates  - A Harvard university dropout and co-owner of a failed business  Traf-O-Data,  which barely even worked, was once one of the world’s youngest billionaire and he is still doing remarkable work. Do you think this was easy for him? Were there no barriers or hardships on his journey to success? I wonder, didn’t this all make him loose hope?  NO.  He didn’t let the hardships overpower him and never FEARED failure. The failure did not hold him back from exploring new opportunities. A few years later, he created his first software  Microsoft which scaled new heights of success. He always believed that failure allows us to come back stronger and more determined. His passion for computer programming, never give up attitude and strong will power made a whopping change in the software and programming field. He took a very big risk of starti

Imagine this scene in front of your eyes. Your strict Mathematics teacher is teaching a difficult chapter and your careless partner is cracking jokes in your ears and you feel like laughing uncontrollably. Would you laugh out loud or control your laughter in front of the teacher? OR Your dear friend is irritating  you to heights and you feel like slapping her hard. Would you actually slap her or refrain from doing it? Right, you would refrain yourself from reacting in situations mentioned above. Like laughter and disgust are emotions and so is anger. Now, an important question arises that if we can control these emotions then why not anger? These are some of the actions I do when I am red and boiling with anger Ignoring, Drinking water, Screaming, Being rude, Distancing, Crying, Not eating Hitting Being silent Are your actions and reactions also the same? Like happiness, anger is also a healthy and a strong emotion. Just like a kitchen knife. A stron
