Failure Is Beautiful


Failure Is Beautiful

No need to shout "Huh?" When reading the title of this paper. Or have thought, if I just try to entertain. Not like that. I'm also not asking you to eliminate sadness or cry when you fail. Not accepted at your favorite school or university, you repeat "fire", and the myriad other failures are part of the failures that can come in our lives. Feelings of sadness and crying, it's also human nature. God gave it as a way of relieving the burden of life. That's okay, we cry.

Feeling sick and sad when it failed to also be a sign that we were a normal teenager, who wants success and happiness. When not achieved, and we hurt, sad and crying, that means we still want to achieve the desire. Nice is not it?

Yes, do not take any effort and dreams when we fail. Imagine, if every person who failed so just release their ideals. Surely there is no progress in this world. Thomas Edison failed dozens of times to make the light bulb, but he did not give up. Senior journalist Rosihan Anwar, cultural Ainun Najib was satisfied with the denial of their writing. Bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul by Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield rejected by many publishers until finally there is also willing to publish their books. No one imagined that it turns out the book was sold and is now made sequel. The book Emotional Spiritual Quotient Ary work Ginanjar Agustian also suffered a similar fate, many publishers rejected until he self-published the book, and was successful.

When high school I had a friend, seniors who do not ride and finally a class with me. He became insecure and nearly lost her confidence. At that time I can only say, "Do not despair, the important thing is to try, to learn what we can, God reward our efforts, not the results." 
Alhamdulillah, we graduated together. Last I heard he was working in a government institution.
So, do not loose the ideals and desires. Failure is a challenge to be conquered, rather than mourned. Without failures and mistakes, we do not know how to be righteous and successful.

Still do not believe? Let's see. For example, you failed to get a satisfactory grade repetition time physics, and must follow the remedial, then this step you should do:
 You will learn more about the exam
 You will complete your record lag for remedial materials
 You will enlist the help of your friend who is good at physics to help you practice
 You will practice the questions more
 You will learn more and more serious.
Try to apply the same thing to the failure of the other.

Yes right, it was a beautiful failure. Much we can do after a failure. Our eyes are so open to different things. We became more earnest. We are so not easy to guard, and we increasingly appreciate a success.

You drop out of school, into college favorites?
Hey, many roads lead to Rome. The success and happiness of life is not just belong to those who became a champion, nor is it confined to those who fancy to university, or who can make a lot of money. Many people who can not go to school, do not go to college, and failed to apply for a job, but finding success in other fields, and most importantly the 'happy'. Bill Gates, Microsoft's boss, dropped out of college. Albert Einstein, the inventor of the Theory of Relativity, is not considered a smart student when the school, and many other successful people who started from failing. Even supposedly a yummy brownie cake is a cake that failed to be created by a chef. Many opportunities and ideals that you can make happen in this world.

Must tolerate various failures. Success does not come suddenly, perhaps even coming in the future. Colonel Sanders started his business when he was 60 years old, and began a thorough success in the KFC business.

Of course, happiness is not just a dream you can be successful, but when God's blessing, when you implement something in accordance with a lawful manner. That's where true happiness lies. For us, getting the blessing of God is a real success, in this world and in the hereafter. As we often read prayers after five daily prayers;
"O Allah, give us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and keep us from hell"

NO Instant !

No teenager who does not want to succeed in life. Who would not want to be a champion, make a good scientific work, go to college favorite, or memorized the Qur'an? Or when we graduate, who would not want to have a luxury car, or a comfortable home to the parents and our brothers?

Everyone wants to succeed in life. But not all people understand that success does not come suddenly, and had achieved a lawful manner. More and more people are fascinated with the success of others, and then became jealous, and thinks that all of it comes from the sky. We often think that success is the same as making instant noodles. Open the pack, cook in boiling water wait 3 minutes and can be enjoyed.

Hey, look at masonry, he might take five, ten or even fifteen times blow to cleave the stone. The bigger the stone, the harder the energy expended. Buildings towering into the sky, and luxury homes built from the efforts of the construction workers and masons. The clothes we wear are also born out of a number of businesses, farms cotton, yarn spinning, until convection clothing.

There is no success in packs of instant noodles. "Rome was not built in one night". Our friend who became champion, who has memorized the Quran, and champions scientific papers born of hard work.

The success is not talent. No one managed to just rely on talent. Genius also was not fate, but hard work. Thomas Edison divulge the formula genius. He said, genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent hard work. And, it's true. Look at the world of sport, any time there are any new records created broke the previous record.

The harder a person, the higher their chances of success.
So if you want to be a success, one of the properties you have to have is hard work. Without hard work, our dreams just like fantasies.
