Life & Well Being

How do we Define Success & Failure?

“Success isn’t final and likewise Failure isn’t fatal but if you fail to improve, then it might be” aptly said. Failures are just a part of the journey to become successful. “The one who doesn’t fall, never rises so high”. But also remember life makes you face failure when it want you to learn, get inspired. 

Remind me of any person, who is quite successful today and had reached this height without any setback in his life? Consider the instance of Jack Ma, the richest Chinese man, he was the one who applied to KFC with other 23 when it entered Chinese food market. All the other 23 interviewee were selected, he was the only one who got rejected but he never let this failure break him. Instead he, took this as a great opportunity to prove himself. 

Already quoted, “Failure defeats losers, and inspires winners”

Once our former President Late Mr. A.P.J Kalam said, “If you want to glow like the sun, first learn to burn like it” which means if you want to reach the greatest heights of your life first try to face all the hurdles those are up in your way.



It seems that failure tends to be more public than success or at least that’s what we perceive it to be. But the truth is no great success was ever achieved without failure. It may be an epic failure or a series of failures like Edison’s many attempts. Whether we like it or not,  failure is a major stepping stone to achieve our dreams.

It may be an epic failure or a series of failures like Edison’s many attempts. Whether we like it or not,  failure is a major stepping stone to achieve our dreams. 

So, “Only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly” when Edison failed in his  “t” attempts, he said he has found “t-1” ways that won’t work. 

Mahendra Singh Dhoni,  a well-known name in the field of cricket, today is said to have reached these heights due to his so-called “luck”. But do you seriously think his luck played such a pivotal role in his success? Where was his luck when he wasn’t able to score runs for India in his first few matches? Where was it when he and his family faced crucial circumstances? And where was it when he worked as a mere ticket collector in railways? None of us knows, but he knows how much he worked hard in those days of his life and didn’t just GIVE UP! 

Never compromise when it come to your considerable efforts towards something, because that’s all what we can do “Focusing on our actions that will pave a way to our goals.” Never stop putting your best just because you’rescared about how it might turn out.

“And, Giving up is the only sure way to fail” explains well that a man without abidance can never achieve great success because he is the one who has never tried to taste failure just for his sake of fear. 

Paulo Coelho said, “There is only one thing that makes success impossible and that’s: fear of failure”. The one who has a fear of losing will never ever win the race because due to his fear he won’t even try.

Always remember, if you aren’t prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with something that’s really great because the real pain lies in the fear of being mistaken. Failure should be our teacher, not undertaker. Failure is delay in success, not a defeat on the road towards it. Failure is just a detour from our road to success and not a dead end. 

So, take a deep breath and remember, Every new day is a fresh start for you. Rock the world!!

Five Difficult Things About Teaching: My Reflection as a Teacher

Teaching is one of the most rewarding professions in that it gives you an opportunity to make an impact on a future generation. It is also extremely difficult and draining—no one with actual teaching experience would tell you otherwise. Being a teacher takes patience, dedication, passion, and the ability to do more with less. It is a treacherous journey often filled with just as many valleys as there are mountains. Those committed to the profession do so simply because they want to be difference makers. According to me, the following five factors are some broader issues that make teaching challenging a little hard 

Classroom management:

This is the most difficult thing in teaching. When we teach them much autonomy and freedom, there are many students who constantly try to take advantage of the situation, having a trivial conversation during important instructions.

Change a student’s behavior:

The hardest thing is to take the student from where they are and to move them where they should be .to do this a good teacher must change their behavior as adaptive as possible mentally, socially, emotionally, and intellectually as they have the potential to be.
Being a teacher is hard. But being a teacher and a friend is even harder:

Sometimes being, so easygoing is not right for a teacher to have to maintain dignity she or he has to be a teacher and at the same time a friend also. 

Not getting enough time:

It seems that it is work of 8 to 3 but in reality, after coming from school again we have to prepare for the next day's activities, entering grades, making a lesson plan. Period after period makes things worse.

The different learning abilities of children:

Every student is different in personality, behavior, etc. Some struggle with maths and need extra help or some learn really well when they listen to the topics understand subjects. Hence, it is hard to cope up.
