Fear Of Failure
Here’s another diary entry of the ordinary girl. Lets read it together..
| Dear Diary, OMG! You won’t believe what happened today! Ok, I might be overreacting but I just escaped a failure today. Yah, semester score was out and I had a narrow escape. Phew! So, I finally know what feels like to b a failure(well almost). But it did make me realize one thing, that no matter how strong we are (or pretend to be), each one of us is hell scared of failures. Failure is said to be the stepping stone of success, yet when everyone wants to succeed nobody wants to fail! This fear of failure often makes people go astray. People want to fly high but the fear of falling down is always there. This fear made me go astray too but my conscience held me back. Everyone faces the choice between what is right and what is easy! And sometimes its just the fear of failure or lure of success that takes over. Of various failures I fear, Ordinary “Failure-Fearing” Girl. |
Do you also fear the failure or face the fear instead? Share your thoughts!

I’m scared of failures too and don’t take them to well which is strange because it’s not like I never fail…it takes me a lot of brooding and anger and even tears to get over failures…
Another nice entry!

I can totally relate with you on this! It takes a lot of time to take the failure out of my head and heart!
Thanks for the visit! 🙂
You raised a very good point. No one wants to fail and yet it is through failure that we learn and grow. Great post
Thanks Carol 🙂
it indeed is difficult to get over failures! and it takes a lot of time for that! for me too failing expectations of dear ones is the biggest fear! looks like we two are on the same wavelength today 😉
Hi-5 Swathi!! Fulfilling expectations can be a stress at times and failing at it is very hurting.
Failures should.be taken as part of life… The time we spend weeping.over it… The more time we lose to reach our goal. Wonderful and an honest post.
Indeed, Learning lessons from the failure we should move forward! Thanks Sunjhini 🙂
just noticed my comment got posted from my gravatar profile – “Sunjhini” 🙂 That’s me btw 🙂
Ohk dear! I’ll remember it next time 🙂
I didn’t almost fail. I failed in dental college. In the internal exams, but still it was failure nevertheless. It brought us down from our high horse of getting merit seat in a dental college in Navi Mumbai 😀
Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope failure didn’t hurt you bad!
It didn’t! It made me thick-skinned hahahahaha!
Awesome thought!! And it was only two days ago, that my appraisal at work was released. And yeah, inspite of doing such hardwork, Im rated average- CORPORATE LIFE- I tell you!!!- Failure of fulfilling expectations!!!! 🙁 🙁
Although I haven’t seen the corporate life for myself but learning from experiences of others, fear of failure in job is one of the greatest! Thanks for the visit Shalini 🙂
Truely my pleasure 🙂
One should be able to face failures as they truly are pillars of success – as Swami Vivekananda also mentioned and I do agree. You need to learn from the mistakes and move on for a better tomorrow…
Mistakes of yesterday are the lessons of today, Wisely said Jayanta 🙂
Failures indeed pave the way to work harder and get better at whatever it is we want to do…a good page from this girl’s diary about an important issue in life.

Oh, yes, many times. Yet to recover from few, too. But will, soon !! Insightful, Nibhz 🙂
Same here Sreeja 🙂 Thanks for the compliment 🙂
Aramis!! Let’s punch failures and toast for our success. Remember, we are the three musketeers. Failures should even fear our naughtiness 😉

Hehe!! Bingo Sri! Cheers to three musketeers!! 😀
failures & success makes our life complete…so lets face them with the same energy & attitude 🙂
Bingo!! That’s the spirit everyone should have! Thanks for the visit!

Failures are part of life. In fact it is because of failures, the success tastes sweet. We must not let our failures put us down for long. We must get up and move on soon enough!
Wise words Shilpa!! Indeed failures weigh us down at times but they are the pillars of success!
The secret of success are the failures faced by the person. We fail daily in some or the other thing and that teaches us and makes us a better person than yesterday…:)
Well said Aayushi! Learning from failure makes us a better person!
Thanks for the visit 🙂

But what’s a life with no lows right? 😀
Richa
yup, if there are no lows, then we won’t enjoy the highs!
Failures force us to build the skills to succeed not only in present challenges, but in many more to come that we can’t yet foresee. Where success comes easily, I learn little and grow little.

Failure frets everyone.Nice post.
Thanks 🙂
In a very broad way ‘Failure’ is always is best teacher for all of us but we,all have fear of
failure.Very late we understand the deep thought & concept of learning from failure……….
Early we learn this fact,we may not have ‘ fear’ ……………..
Exaclty, I totally agree on this!
Yes fearing the failure is natural to me. But if I fail then yes I do face it the way it comes. I loved your post. Let your heart not wail in pain if ever you fail your loved ones expectations, but make it strong enough to face the festivities and achieve what is lost with a new zeal.
