People are always faced with many obstacles and challenges throughout the years. My life, particularly, is filled with lots of troubling challenges and obstacles and I had no way to get out of ‘em. I would struggle to overcome these difficulties, whether it be big or small. At times, I’m tired and stressed with too much work to do. I also worry about failure. Failure for me, is the inability to be successful, or the inability to meet an expectation. But, I learned that we need to accept failures. Everyone fails on something.
When you fail, don’t give up. We learn from our failure, not from success and we learn when we keep going. We just need to be motivated and we need to strive hard to be able to convert our failures to success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. In fact, the most successful people now failed repeatedly but they’ve also gotten back up. Like, Albert Einstein, as a child, he didn’t start speaking until he was four, reading ‘till he was seven, failed to pass the entrance exam into the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School located in Zurich but went to a school in Aarau in Switzerland to close the gap in his knowledge, after graduating from the Swiss Polytechnic Institute, at the age of 21, he struggled to find employment and Einstein also had a terrible reputation as a student. If he gave up, his most important theories could never been known.
Challenges are just part of our journey. Don’t waste time on useless reactions because we don’t have control over it. Whatever we do, it’s not going to change whatever’s already happened. Struggles and challenges don’t need to become who you are. Allow yourself the time to process the challenges. But then, move forward no matter how hard.
