Learn  From The Failures

Date:

Thomas Alva Edison was busy with another research after his ground-breaking invention of the electric bulb. He put himself into strenuous experiments that lasted for weeks and months. He experimented with hundreds of materials. When it went on incessantly, Edison’s assistant became impatient. He said:

“Why can’t we stop this business? There is no use in carrying on with these experiments. We have already wasted such a lot of things!”

“It is true that we have wasted many things. But we have learned a lesson from this” Edison said.
“What is it?” asked the Assistant.

“We have understood that many things that were used for this experiment are not fitting for it. We understood this only when we experimented with all of them. So I consider the lessons I learned from these wasted efforts as my most valuable discoveries,” saying that Edison went back to his experiments.

Our studies never come to an end with a fault or failure. In fact, a lesson we learned from our failed efforts might benefit us more than the ones that helped us reach success. Many discoveries have emerged out of several failures and faults. Hence, failures are as important as success.

Sometimes we place our hope in certain persons. We expect them to be with us in all circumstances and rush to us with a helping hand in our needs. Hence, we will be giving them a prominent position in our lives. But, we will realize their true colours only when we see them forsaking us in an adverse situation. This is a big life lesson. It is true that we incurred a loss, suffered pain, and lost a relationship. But, the lesson that we learned from that relationship will be helpful in the future. In other words, we should make it beneficial to us. Otherwise, we will be deceived time and again.
So, understand that each fault and failure of ours has its value in our lives. Never forget that every person, every experience, and every circumstance will provide us with a new lesson for life.
