Everyone fails at one time or another. What is important is that you learn from your failures and try not to repeat them. Failure provides us with the opportunity to learn how to succeed. All of the great inventors such as Isac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Frederick Newton failed in the beginning. As long as you are able to pick yourself back up and dust yourself off you will ok. As they say, "nothing beats a failure but a try".

I believe that failure is a part of life. Everyone fails at one time or another. There are two important things to know about failure. One is that you must learn from your mistakes and the other is that once you fail at something you must pick yourself back up and try again.

INSTANT MBA: There Is No Such Thing As Failure
This article encourages people to keep trying things. Sometimes people can be afraid to try new things because of a fear of failure. When you foster an environment that tolerates mistakes and encourages experimentation, you will end up with employees who are not afraid to speak up. This just helps the office communicate even better.

If we accomplished everything we set out to do the first time we wouldn't have R&D. Also we wouldn't ever discover anything by accident. You have to fail to succeed. They say that Einstein tried around one thousand times to find the right way to make the light bulb. The problem wasn't getting it to turn on but was to get it to stay on.

After reading this article the article is right there is no such thing as failure. Failure is only an experiment which seems to hold true in my life. Anytime someone fails at some and learns from or grows from it then it truly is not a failure. Failures only happen if you did not learn anything from that happening. If I look at my life like this and try to learn from everything that happens bad to me I believe that I will definitely become a strong and more successful business person.

INSTANT MBA: There is no such thing as failure
"There is no such thing as failure" is an inspirational quote. If everyone gave up when they thought they have "failed", the world would be a completely different place. For example, Steve Jobs was kicked out of his own company, Apple in 1985. This could be considered "failing". He created a new business, NeXT, which pretty much was a flop. He then bought Pixar and invested $50 million of his own money to keep the movie company afloat. Everyone expected Pixar to fail because it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Steve Jobs and Pixar created Toy Story which was an epic success that put Pixar on the map and even won an Academy Award. This success eventually lead Steve Jobs back to Apple, where he would later create the ipod, iphone, ipad, etc. Throughout the process Jobs failed at many projects. He did not let that stop him. He believed in himself and "there is no such thing as failure".

INSTANT MBA: There Is No Such Thing As Failure
This article is very enlightening, and I am glad to see an executive believes in this mantra. It is true; everything in life is a learning experience. We learn from the mistakes of our past to create a better, more informed future. In fact if every decision in life or every business idea worked perfectly the first time, then the world would be a rather boring place. Improving upon and developing ideas, programs, and technology is so important in business. Research and development keeps businesses thriving and competitive, and succeeding from 'failure' is what keeps the world spinning.

This article talks about a great perspective in how to view "failure." When working at something, then failing, we can view it as another way we know not to approach the problem. Just because we fail, it doesn't mean it is the end. Each "failure" brings you even closer to success. The article says that it is perseverance that makes us successful which I believe to be completely true.

Instant MBA: There is No Such Thing as Failure Failure should not be the reason someone gives up. It should be the reason they keep trying again to get it right. Many people fail and they never try again, but they should look at that failure and see what they did wrong and change it in order to succeed. It took Sandor 606 times to get it right, but if he would have given up after the first or even hundredth time he never would have discovered Compound 606.

606 times is alot of times to fail. This article shows that failure is not a option if you don't succeed in sometime try again. Like sandor said in his article in his company there's no such thing as failure. Failure only comes when you have given up. I believe that failure is not an option. I tried to explain that to my girlfriend and she constantly says she cant do sometimes and I'll say you haven't failed yet keep trying and don't give up. But with all that beginning said she still says she cant do stuff.

When working on a project or inventing something failure is the key to success. As you work on something you learn how not to do things when something doesn't work quite right or when you fail to make something happen. So many people in history are known for their inventions, yet what many forget to look at is how long it took that person to make their product and how many times they tried and failed. Failure does exist but only to help us improve and make the most of our lives and make our inventions/projects a success!

INSTANT MBA: There is No Such Thing as Failure
I believe that failure is always a new route to something else rather than a dead end. For example, during my dance classes we clap for the girls who fall. Instead of feeling embarrassed they are encouraged for falling because it is evidence of dancing hard and trying even harder and you really want to encourage something like that. They are taught to dance outside of their comfort zones which might result in falling sometimes, but the ending result doesn't result in failure it results in being cheered for and encouraged to continue.

INSTANT MBA: There Is No Such Thing As Failure
Failure is something that holds a lot of people back. I this link it shows hold a change in thinking can improve the probability of success. If a person gets rid of the negative thoughts what they can do may be limitless. It can help you keep your creative mindset if the thought or fear of failure hinders you. It would pay off if your plans go wrong but you are still dedicated to do your best and nothing less.

I think fails definitely get a bad rap by the system. It is a word that definitely screams negativity, but it doesn't have to. We should call fails "opportunities to try again" instead. Because although a fail can be very hard to work through, the way you handle it is key. Do you grab onto the opportunity to try again? Or do you turn it down? Every single fail gives us that choice.

INSTANT MBA: There Is No Such Thing As Failure, I agree with this article, you hear some many individuals continually talking about how successful they would like to be but not to many would like to travel through the hard road that would be place ahead of them when trying to achieve their goals. I also never believe in failure it really doesn't exist, if you really want something go out and get it the only person stopping you from obtaining your goal is you.
