Who wants to carry on being a failure?
Failure.
Not a great word is it?
It is a very negative word, it says
nothing good happened at all.
But it's still a word that is used
a lot by so many people.
Here in the UK as this is being written
there is a huge buzz in the media
about an alternative phrase for
the word failure.
This buzz centres around a group
of school teachers who have decided
that failure is not an option for
the children they teach. Now
they just have "deferred success".
Of course the media is sensationalising
the phrase as Political correctness, but
I can see where they are going with this.
Deferred success, I like the sound
of it don't you?
It was said by someone (and repeated
by many) that you haven't failed until
you actually stop trying. When you
look right at it, deferred success means
exactly the same thing. In a classroom
they will make you do something over
and
over until you get it right, so until
they give up doing it, no one has failed.
If they eventually grasp the lesson
then their success was only deferred
until a later time.
Isn't this how you should see your
business "failures" instead.
You no longer failed you merely
deferred success until you attain
it later. Every "deferred success"
is actually a step towards success
because you just learned how not
to do whatever it is you were
attempting. Once you run out of
ways that don't work, you will
discover the one that does.
When you fail you are using a negative
in association with your business. If
you defer success then that says
something positive is yet to come.
So isn't it time for you to stop
failing, and instead have a
"deferred success"?
