Only if they let themselves, failure is also a big part of learning and growth and success is defined personally.
One person's success , is another persons failure. If I was a billionaire, then I've failed a lot of people, no one needs a billion pounds it's just hoarding wealth. I'd rather live in a ditch.
For me success is progression and achieving your goals no matter how long that takes, as long as you are growing as a person you are winning at life and no one not even yourself can disprove that.
That sounds like a great definition of success to me. I suppose the only thing to remember is that some days might not be successful but they contribute to the overall journey of success in the long run.
Haven’t seen anything quite like it but it is thought provoking enough to be worth looking into a character that would leave such a memory. I was visiting old colonial family graves last week and noticed that many old stones included how they died or a few words of their accomplishments, a practice that I think needs to come back.
I think you’re right. It’s nice to leave stories behind rather than a mere headstone with a name. I’m glad this week’s postcard included something intriguing for you. Ever since I found out about this headstone I have thought about it often. Such an interesting phraseology to use!
I only feel like I failed if I haven't learned something from the experience. And almost every experience teaches me something. I might not always like what I'm learning about myself. But I see it as an opportunity to improve my attitude if nothing else. What do you think
I think that sounds like a very admirable approach! With the caveat that it is used as a method of encouragement. I’m not suggesting you do this but sometimes we can be quite unkind to ourselves and our minds can twist well-meaning principles into a stick to beat us with. I might slightly reframe it as “the experience was a failure” rather than you. But it’s also worth noting that experiences have merit outside their academic value.
