I have understood better from my disappointment. If you also experiment a disappointment, come and read below. It will benefit all of us.
I almost got laid off as a developer at 2004 early in my career. It took 3 years after graduation to obtain an adequate job for me!
I almost got laid off at Honeywell! at 2009, as a Program Manager.
I almost got laid off as a Project Manager at ABB in 2011
All these circumstances made me tougher, when I glance back I felt proud of those moments.
What I recognized, and now I consider for disappointment as learning is higher in failure than in success!
I have accomplished better in those stages which molded my personality better.
What I have picked up that failure is the trail that shows us towards ultimate realization. It forces us tougher as an individual and imparts several important life-lessons on us. If we choose to carry out the kind of success that lasts for a great while, we must tread the trail furnished with challenges and obstacles.
Attitude has a plenty to do with how we regard our disappointments. If we can establish by reviewing at each disappointment as a message, we are already ahead of the game. Failure is a wonderful means we can adopt to lay out a stronger course and hone our strategy. Usually, with some tweaks and adjustments to our game plan, we can dust off our trousers and bring back in the circle. Keep moving and we will get victory.
Failure teaches us what functions and what does not. We generally experience that learning is more powerful in failure than in success. Typically, failure shows us about causes so as to review inaccuracies and not to carry out the same mistakes in the forthcoming. Hence, investigating the roots of disappointment is essentially retrospective because it focuses on the past or the root cause of a failed event.
We gain better from failures because failures show more path connected to success. Success only teach us the particular avenue to carry out things works, failure, however, offer us better than that, it reveals us the route to disappointments and unknown.
Every failure is a hidden opportunity to understand, to progress, to reform, to expand. As the Japanese say failure is the mother of invention. Behind every great invention are a chain of disappointments and each failure is an opportunity to establish and innovate. From Edison to Wright brothers the ultimate product i.e. the bulb and the aeroplane are a labour of hundreds of failures.
“You might never fail on the scale I did. But 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.” The golden words of J.K. Rowling – the famous author of Harry Potter fame – who was a penniless and divorced single mother living on welfare not so long ago. Now, she is a billionaire and one of the richest people in England!
The industry considered Walt Disney incompetent to become a newspaper cartoonist, with one editor reportedly telling him that he "lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He then established a cartoon studio, which ended in bankruptcy.
Steve Jobs – the man that has made Apple into one of the most successful and richest companies in the world, the man behind the super-successful iPhone, iPod and the iPad, and the man who single-handedly revolutionized the tech industry as we knew it – was not only a fired tech executive and an unsuccessful businessman, he was also unceremoniously removed from Apple, the company he founded, when he was 30. This is what he said about his failure: “I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.”
" Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you’ve got something to share." – Steve Harvey
Bill Gates stated, “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.”
W. E. Hickson coined the phrase, “If at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again.” No matter how hard you may work, failure can happen.
“Fail fast” and “embrace failure” are the top buzzwords in Silicon Valley.
" Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share." Steve Harvey
Nothing strengthens us better than an emergency that we have struggled with but conquered. That capacity to withstand the miseries of life prepare us capable of functioning beyond competence.
Let us fail more , learn from it and share our story to the world.
I encourage leaders to become fail tolerant and do not inject fail fear in team! build a fear free environment for failure and eliminate fear paralysis.
