There is a saying, ‘If you are not making mistakes, then you are not making decisions’. What this really means is that decision making requires past experience, and in order to require experience, you need to try various options. In that process, there are bound to be failures.
If we realize why we failed last time, we can succeed the next time. However we should take care not to repeat the same mistakes. There must be an urge to to win even in utterly hopeless circumstances. Many of you have have heard about the story of King Robert Bruce, who was defeated six times in a row. He was finally cornered and was hiding in a cave, when he noticed a spider spinning a web. He saw that jumping quite a distance from one corner to another, Although it failed several times, the spider made repeated attempts, instead of giving up.
The king watched the spider with curiosity. It failed six times but persistent effort helped it succeed the seventh time! The King thought to himself, “I too have failed six times already, but I am bound to win seventh time”. History testifies that he won the battle next time.
The moral of the story is, “Never lose the will to win, even in midst of failure”.
