114) What is the Opposite of Success?

If someone were asked, "What is the Opposite of Bad?"

The normal answer you will hear is, "Good".

If someone were asked, "What is the Opposite of Success?"

The normal answer you will hear is, "Failure".

Let's really think about it.

Is Failure really the Opposite of Success?

Let's recall on your personal experiences. 

Remember the times you tried to swim? 

Remember the times you tried to ride a bicycle ?  

How many times you tried to do something and failed the first time?

How many times you tried to do something and failed many many times?

However, after the first try, you get better in the second try.

In fact, the more times you tried, the better you got.

So, what had happened!?? 

You had became better and better because you kept learning from the previous experiences.

If you follow the logic, you are:

building up the skill and knowledge to be successful.

So, every Failure is a Building Block to Success. 

You can't be successful without the failures.

Even if were successful in the first attempt, you know that it does not just happened. 

You had already built up the various skills and knowledge over your life time. Even before trying to do something the first time.

Failures are Not Opposite of Success. 
Failures are Building Blocks of Success.

You will never know of a successful person who had never failed before. 

If you ever find one, do let me know.
