I think failure is only the case if you give up on your journey of success. Its when you stop trying to succeed or learn from it and progress onward. I just started a book called, "The Adversity Paradox" and it looks at this concept in detail. Loving it so far... .-= Mike King´s last blog ..<a href="http://learnthis.ca/2009/07/resources-mayjune-2009/" rel="nofollow">Resources – May/June 2009</a> =-. Nice video..

In competition, people don't often remember the names of the losers. However, if losers play their cards right and don't give up, they can eventually become winners and sometimes surpass those who beat them the first time around. I always acknowledge the failures because they make me try harder the next time. .-= Mitch´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ttmitchellconsulting/hOlO/~3/E1pS7GZpfMk/" rel="nofollow">Do Black People Celebrate The 4th Of July Holiday?</a> =-.

You're so right about our own definitions of success and failure. Sometimes, failure is just a step from a bigger journey, sometimes it's just failure. We can make the difference only if we have a larger perspective on life, only if we see beyond our immediate needs and goals. Seeing things in black or white is a mindset of fear and it ultimately lead to defeat in every area. Allowing nuances and bigger pictures can only enhance our learning capabilities. I'll keep that in mind: success is learning :-) .-= Dragos Roua´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Edragonu-TheChoiceOfAPersonalPath/~3/6kTOdKKGbKQ/" rel="nofollow">System Overload</a> =-.

It's always encouraging to see examples of people who succeeded because they never gave up on their dream. Hey Ralph, welcome and thanks for joining the conversation.

Win, lose, or draw, I think it's all about learning. I would rather have a valuable lesson than an empty success (most days anyway). Hey Mark, good to see you.

I like the mental switch from failing to learning, it's positive thinking in the right direction.

Instead of the negative slant we could just call it learning. No more "F" word, no more result oriented damaged self-worth perception.
