Those are successful were once failure, so Don't afraid of being failure

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” –Dale Carnegie

The master of public speaking and communication and the author of, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” Dale Carnegie is another example of someone who experienced great success in his work.

Carnegie stresses that you must experience discouragement and failure in your life in order to find success. He believed that through examining your experiences of failures, you can gain the knowledge that will propel you to success.

How to Apply Dale Carnegie’s Tip to Your Life

Instead of fearing failures and trying to avoid thinking about how you failed at something, look closely at your mistakes. You’ll surely learn how to avoid those mistakes in the future. Even your feelings of discouragement will eventually lead you down the path of success as you seek more positive outcomes.

Try this process to help you use your failures as stepping stones to success:

Ask yourself why something didn’t work. If you can figure out a probable reason, you can avoid the same process as you try new ideas that might work. Or if you’re developing a skill for your goal, you may decide that you just need more practice to fine-tune your skill.

Come up with a new strategy. Brainstorm ideas for new ways to approach your current challenge or get back on track toward your goal.

Try out your new idea right away. “Jumping back on the horse” will keep you moving toward your goal and allow you to avoid wasting time bemoaning your setback. If you let too much time pass before you continue on, your motivation could wane as you wallow in your misery.

Repeat this process if your new idea doesn’t work. There’s no shame in trying an idea that doesn’t achieve the goal. If your idea doesn’t work, learn from it and move on.

Consider your failures as an important education in what it takes to achieve. Whether you learn to stop doing something or that perhaps you should have done something differently, examine your failures and feelings of discouragement. Use them productively to then build your fact base for success.

Put your failure to good use; learn from it so you can continue on your path to excellence.

Above all, remember that the only way you can really fail is to give up. As long as you’re still working toward your goal, you haven’t failed in your quest. Failures along the way just let you know how not to do something. Your next idea may be just the one that brings you success!

Now take deep breath and take action before its too late

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

–Pablo Picasso

Known world-wide for his paintings and sculptures, the Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso, was also a co-creator of a popular movement in art known as “cubism.” Picasso’s quote reflects that he knew what it would take to be successful. He believed that the most basic tenet to achieving goals is to take action. 

Even when people didn’t seem interested in his art, Picasso just kept painting, sculpting and creating, no matter what. He put into practice what he believed: if person takes action, he’ll succeed.

The essence of Picasso’s quote is, “do something” to make success happen.

You must do something related to your goals if you want to achieve them. The most basic key to accomplishing something is to simply take action.

• Focus less on the details.

• Don’t be concerned about doing something wrong.

• Just get started.

• Continue to do whatever it is you’ve chosen and the actions you take will lead you to success.

For your big goals, divide them into small, achievable steps that will lead you ever forward until you’ve accomplished your biggest desires.

It’s much easier to take action when you only have a small mini-goal to work on. However, achieving these small goals one by one will bring great success.

For example, if you have a goal to lose 30 pounds, you can do this in 30 weeks by losing a pound a week.

Each week, focus only on losing 1 pound. This is a goal you can achieve.

Each week, determine what you can do to lose that 1 pound - whether it’s cutting back on sodas, sweets, or chips, going for evening walks, or taking the stairs at work - and follow through with whatever action it takes to get it done.

What is your mental attitude?

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” –Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was the third U.S. President, the writer of the Declaration of Independence, and a leader. In this quote, Jefferson focused on the importance of one’s mindset to achieving success. Jefferson expressed that as long as a person has a positive “mental attitude,” he’ll continue to strive toward and achieve his goals.

Jefferson believed there’s power in one’s own mind and that being positive is the best way to release that power and benefit from it.

On the other hand, Jefferson acknowledged that a person who lacks a good mental attitude will be thwarted in his efforts to accomplish goals. No matter how hard he tries, if he’s not in a positive frame of mind, success will elude him.

These strategies will help you maintain a positive mindset: 

Use positive self-talk. You engage in a running dialog with yourself all day long. Take advantage of this natural tendency and encourage yourself by saying things you like to hear. Praise yourself for your accomplishments and say good things to yourself all day long. Soon, you’ll notice a positive change in your everyday thoughts as well.

Repeat affirmations. Reading and repeating affirmations will help you strengthen the qualities you wish to develop and even assist you in adopting new habits and qualities. If negative thoughts are a challenge for you, positive affirmations will help steer you away from them and replace them with positivity.

Practice meditation. Meditating will help you reduce the stress in your life, focus on moving forward toward your goals, and bring you serenity– all helpful steps for developing and maintaining a positive mindset.

Seek the silver lining. Even when things don’t go as planned, find something good in every situation. After a while, this technique will become a habit as you discover your new positivity.

Thinking positive not only makes life a lot more pleasant, it sets up an atmosphere around you that’s upbeat and encouraging to others and draws others toward you.

When you think positively, you take the mental approach of, “I can achieve whatever I set my mind to.” This attitude sets you up for success!

Take Responsibility

“I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew. I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.” 

 –Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is a one-of-a-kind businesswoman, talk show host, actress, and media mogul who now owns a television network. Winfrey focuses on how she took responsibility for her own life at an early age. In this quote, Winfrey stresses that she never thought of herself as someone who was “poor” or “deprived.” She chose not to see herself as disadvantaged in any way. Instead, she regarded herself as equal to everyone else and, like anyone else, knew she was the one responsible for her own life. Even as a young person, she was compelled to do something with her life. She knew no one else would do it for her. Winfrey brings home the importance of taking control of your own life as early in life as possible. She viewed her personal sense of responsibility as the key to “making good.”

Regardless of your background, you can be successful if you take responsibility for your own future.

Consider these ideas:

• Circumstances don’t control your future. Refuse to allow your personal situation to color your sense of who you truly are or what you can accomplish.

• Instead, view yourself as capable of achieving anything you set out to accomplish.

• Seek solutions to your challenges so you can keep moving forward toward your goals.

• Your success doesn’t depend on luck, where you live, or whether you’re rich or poor. It does depend, however, on how you step up to take responsibility for yourself. Avoid blaming others, making excuses, or just wishing things will get better.
