Then your life would be stagnant. You need to dream, dream big, make the dreams a reality. It should be practical only then it will materialize. If you fear to dream it is like you are fearing to grow.
A real genius dreams big, and makes all his dream come true. I am saying this from my own real life experience. It was some ones dream that we are able to talk and share our views here. The same way everything that you touch and experience in your daily life was once a dream.
Don't fear failures, all the failures are stepping stones to your success. You learn with every failure. Our electric bulb was invented after 999 failures but was made a success in the 1000th effort.
Seneca once said, "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare. It is because that we do not dare that things are difficult."
Robert F. Kennedy observed, 'only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
"Talented hits a target no one else can hit: Genius hits a target no one else can see." - Arthur Schopenhauer.
Think Edison, Think Gandhi, Think Disney and Think J K Rowling, all were dreams that was so big yet achieved. You just need to believe that you can and have faith in yourself. You can even move a mountain.
Ramesh your post reminded me of a Self Development course we did way back in 1985.. it changed my life... This what we had learned there about failures :
Failure does not mean Im a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.
Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.
Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.
Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.
Failure does not mean I dont have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.
Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.
Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.
Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.
Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.
Failure does not mean that
You have abandoned me;
It does mean that
You must have a better idea.
This write up above I have searched from the Net,what we had learned was almost same , maybe a few lines here and there but the essence is absolutely same.
Best regards.
