DON'T FEAR FAILURE


Failure is one of the pathways to success.Achievers are not afraid of failure. They know that no one loses anything by trying out his idea. But they also know that anyone stands to gain everything if his idea becomes successful. Larry Page was told by 'experts' that Google is a good idea but he should abandon it because he will NEVER make money from it. But Larry went ahead anyway and figured out how to make money from his free search engine. Today, Google is the biggest media company in the world.

Many years ago, milk was for the rich as the poor could not afford to buy a tin of powdered milk. But Cowbell (a milk brand in Nigeria) came in and said, 'This madness has to stop.' Then introduced 10 Naira sachet of powdered milk. And a jinx was broken. Owners of Peak (another milk brand in Nigeria, but more costly than other milk brands) milk was shocked. And to benefit from the millions of Nigerians that want cheap and quality milk at a time, they joined the race by creating their own sachet powdered milk.

The things that will hinder you from becoming a success are not yet in existence. What you are afraid of is afraid of your potentials. The step you are afraid to take may be the turning point you have been waiting for. Why will you be hindered by what others have said about your ideas? Why will you agree to queue up behind your competitors? Why will you accept defeat and a life of status quo? Remember that if people can't achieve something, they make you believe you cannot achieve that thing. Why will you listen to people that are ignorantly trying to imprison your ideas? I encourage you today to go out there and achieve your ideas. Yes, you may fail, but who has not failed? Till I come your way very soon, please don't let fear of failure cripple you.

Be encouraged!
