Teacher Lesson about Failure!!

Ramu started a business with great enthusiasm but just after a few months, his business went under.

After that, time passed but Ramu didn't start any new work. His teacher got to know about his situation and called him to his home.

The teacher welcomed Ramu and they talked for a bit about each other well being.

Then the teacher asked, "Why don't you start doing some other work?"

"What's the point of doing work, when I can't be sure of success.", Ramu replied with a bit of annoyance.

The teacher took Ramu to a room and showed him a dead tomato plant he said, "Look at this.."

Ramu was confused and said, "It's dead, useless. Why are you showing it to me?"

The teacher replied, "When I sowed its seed, I did everything right for it. I watered it, fertilized it, and sprayed it with pesticide. I took great care of it but it still died.."

The teacher stopped for a bit and then said, "Doing Work is the same.. No matter how hard you try, you cannot decide what happens in the end. Only you can control only those things in your hands and you should leave the rest to God."

Ramu asked, "But if there is no guarantee of success then what's the use of trying to do anything?"

The teacher said, "Many people do not try to do anything big in their life thinking this.."

"What's wrong in thinking that... When even after giving so much hard work, so much money, so much time, if success is only a matter of chance, then what is the use of doing so much.", said Ramu and was about to leave.

Just then teacher stopped and said, "Before you leave, I want to show you one more thing.."

He took Ramu to another room and opened the door. There was a pile of big red tomatoes lying there...

Ramu asked, "Why are you showing me this?"

Just then the teacher said, "These tomatoes you see are the result of not giving up on growing plants even after failing before. I didn't stop, after seeing those dead plants... I again sowed seeds and took care of them and this time plant grew.

Similarly, If you keep doing the right things consistently, your chances of getting success are greatly increased. But if you give up because of one or two failures, then life does not give you any reward."

Ram Singh had now read the lesson of success, he understood what he had to do now and he left with a renewed vigor.

Flash: Like Ramu, many people make their Failure a reason for Not trying further. It is true that no matter how hard we try, we cannot control what will be the end result. But it is also true that those who keep trying continuously to get success will get it tomorrow if not today. As it is said - Remember that every failure is a step toward success.

Moral: Most often, the problem may not be with the Things but could be very much within us. You rise above your fears by facing them, not by ignoring them. And you can do that because you're not the fear or the thought or the pain: you're the one looking at it.

"Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage."
