Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again - Conti... of Transition


Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently”-Henry Ford

Henry Ford [In College Days we used call him Henry Appachen(meaning grandfather) whose theories we had learn] was an American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. He is credited with "Fordism": mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers(how many industrialist are ready to pay high wages that too for workers?). Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation but arranged for his family to control the company permanently (that is one of the best decisions at-least to me).

Sir Henry Ford, quoted this from his own life (all quotes can be given credit from their own old experiences) but this is always admired and followed by all – all those who want to succeed in life!. We can understand from his own experience; After two unsuccessful attempts to establish a company to manufacture automobiles, the Ford Motor Company was incorporated in 1903 with Henry Ford as vice-president and chief engineer. It means that great Person never accepted failure, he kept on his energy running and built on invention. 'Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently', yes he did it with all intelligence, and still his vision is alive.

This was my update on LinkedIn (in.linkedin.com/pub/glenda-grace-john/8/a/322) for the day (Apr 23rd). I don't know why or what made me to add that as an inspiration for the day, but yes, I did it. Maybe someone out there, within my network might have required that (as there are days when someone's update from a different part of the world inspires from inside-out and chills me). There are days in our lives when we feel God is speaking to us, someone is motivating us, nature itself is helping us. To me, yes lots of instance when the nature intervened  God's care I felt; in moments when my spirit went down, my soul felt to wander, my mind went out of control; someone out there speaking to me, someone's message in my inbox (consoling but related to my situation), someone speaking to other but I am made to hear, etc. Etc. All ways, my God working for me. All the time, round the clock, throughout the year.


Hence, my actions should also be contributed in a likewise manner. I admit there are times when I may have had situations when I was kinda rude/authoritative but always there were real reasons behind that behaviour (But who cares those reasons of others/real causes Right?).


Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again. We are often taken backward instead of trying forward after a small glimpse of failure. Do not be afraid to fail because only through failure do we learn to succeed. We need to learn taking chances, making mistakes, facing risks. That’s how we are supposed to grow. Like a child's development, it is from stage to stage, that's how real growth, real development, real success happens. Pain nourishes our courage, fuels our thoughts and molds our attitude. We have to fail in order to practice being brave. Keep trying and trying. But, most importantly believing in self. Yes, Believing in Yourself, where the power lies!!

Let your Spirit Live...Let it be Free...Live your Live the Way you have Dreamed,..You had Imagined :)
