Most
of us are scared of failure, we want to do the very best possible to prevent
failure. I tell you failure is not all bad and we should try our possible best
to embrace it, never allow it overcome us.
I want to ask, when you failed your first WAEC or first JAMB, why
didn’t you give up, why did you retake the exam, you did not allow the failure
of that exam to hold you back. You knew if you studied harder and learnt from
your mistake of your past, you could do better, you didn’t allow the failure of
the past to hold you back, but rather you set your eyes on things to come, on
the fact that you want to gain admission. After retaking the exam, you failed
and failed and failed. But you never gave up, you continued until you gain
admission, you never allowed all your failures hold you down, you arose above
them all and became victorious.
So why now, why is it now after one failure,
you’ve given up, these days you find it so easy to give up after one attempt,
have you forgotten the days of your jamb, you wrote jamb 3 to four times before
you eventually passed.
The
difference between you when you were writing jamb and you now is that then, you
were determined, you had a picture of where you were going, you could imagine
yourself in the university and that image alone propelled you to keep going and
not to give up. Now you want to achieve, but you don’t have determination or
you don’t have a picture of you were you are going.
You
are meant to fail, you can’t be successful on your first attempt, failure is a
part of the process on your way to success. Failure has to occur before success
will take place. There are two ways people approach failure. Either you allow
it to hold you down and give up or you learn from it and use it to advance to a
higher place. Failure is supposed to serve has an obstacle we have to overcome
to get to the place of success.
Thank
You
