Accepting failure, having the tenacity to work through it, the intelligence to learn from it and the belief to keep going is, perhaps, the only difference between success and failure. <br /><br />Besides, how many writers become successful overnight? Even Stephen King and J.K. Rowling accumulated a fistful of rejection slips before they were eventually picked up. They didn't throw in the towel after the first couple. <br /><br />Every writer will have to learn to deal with rejection at some point in their career. The belief in oneself to keep going, that we're all just one rejection slip away from success, is what I got from your "Zen of Failure" post. <br /><br />I'd wager I'm not the only one.<br /><br />Thank you for writing it.

Or it means you did something prosaic and either ran into bad luck or you didn't anticipate all possibilities. But in any case, failure means you moved beyond passivity to actually try to do something. Using the knowledge gained from your failure, adjust your approach, and move on! Try again, try something different, or recognize that it may not be the right time. But it is also important to remember an important lesson in the fictional words of the equally fictional Jean-Luc Picard: "Sometimes, you can do everything right, and still fail. That is called life." And when that happens, you pick yourself up and you move on.<br />Do-Minghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601369196238737043noreply@blogger.com
