Afraid of Failures??

Failure...a word from which we all are afraid off...since our childhood till the time we will die.. we all are scared of failures.. we don't want to get fail in any of our endeavors in life.. we don't want anything wrong happen to us.. may be sometimes under pressure.. both societal..and family pressures..or may be because we all want good good things everywhere around us.. recently few questions baffled me.. why we were always told in our childhood.. work hard..don't get fail...'.. why during our primary and middle classes..we always used to see the person who scored less in the class with the hatred eyes.. why we were asked not to be in company of those who fails...why we always try to keep an option open... if not this.. then this.. took science.. just because all other streams are open after this.. can go to any place..did mechanical engineering... land in IT company why.. why not wait for mechanical company to turn up.. coz we afraid of not getting job later on.. well Why MBA ?? Why Not M.Tech.. just to be under bigger umbrella..?? now we are techno managers..?? we are open to almost any field..??. jack of all suites..?? or I should say.. we are afraid of getting beaten on our a****

have we ever thought of this..that not being failed or if I rephrase my words.. by keeping all options open.. we actually diminished our capabilities of trying something out of the box.. we actually.. don't like to try something new.. on a funny side.. most of us just don't propose to a girl.. just because we are afraid of being neglected.. or being getting slapped.. ;) .. or we are afraid that we will be humiliated by our friends.. :P ..

There are different categories of people afraid of getting failed..

1. People who afraid of being 2nd... - This is the cream category of any group of people doing something in common... I know most of the persons.. who even cribs about getting second.. ya i know 'its worst to be at second place.. then at the last place.." but scared of that.. cribbing for that.. If i quote one of my friends when he was rejected in a company interview..then it would be a perfect example of people getting scared of being second.. in his words.. " yaar..tension ho jati hai.. mein hamesha pehli co. mein hi select ho jata hoon.. I always get selected in first company..".. well well well.. going for 2nd category...

2. People who afraid of being last... - This is the most common category.. and we all must have experience fear of this.. last is very bad.. no one think last is good.. even I am afraid of being last.. even in last mid sem exam when I got second lowest marks..I thanked god..that I didn't score last.. and I don't know what difference it could make.. anyways... going to last and third category..

3. People who afraid of getting failed continuously.. - well.. this category is very rarerly seen.. coz.. most of the people I have seen in this category don't care about what's happening around.. they just enjoy their life like that.. only few persons have that potential to keep on trying until they ultimately reach what they want to achieve.. but as I say.. they are really very rare..

Sometimes I feel.. that getting failed is not bad... its even good which gives u one instance that teaches u that one can't get everything you desired of.. or even u worked for.. and believe me.. success follows failure.. and success means more when comes after a failure..

PS: I am not saying that getting failed is utmost necessary.. or one should not try to keep options open.. but one should at least try to get what he has longed for.. what he has in his mind for years.. what makes him feel better.. what he proudly can speak of for rest of his life.. just a try in the direction that fascinates you........

before concluding the blog.. I would like to extend my thanks to my very good friend.. discussion with whom led me to write on this topic.. after a long gap... till next time.. bbye.. :)
