    I wonder there was a video about how to live as a failure Instead of how people can still succeed after failure.
    I just want to know how can i just lead my life in failure

      No! Don't fail! Also, failing isn't "failing for a whole lifetime". It's just the same as learning, or growing - a bumpy road. Failing does not say anything about who you are as a human being, as well. How we look at failure is what is important. Outwardly it can show what we did or didn't achieve or learn, yet inwardly, indefinitely we will learn what was important about those said failures. Maybe find strength in your "failing"

      This is the most useful ted talk I've heard. I recently realized that after 25 years i have failed at my life's dream. If that's not depressing enough, i failed others who needed me during that time. I was SHOCKED that i had hypnotized myself into thinking all was well while i was far from it. Then SHOCKED that everyone let me fail. Then, as if to kick me while i was down, i realized i had come up with insight, but wasn't taking my own advice. All this could be crippling, ready to throw in the towel but all i can say is I'm not dead yet. I hope to better myself. My new goal is to draw from the past without letting it draw from me. As PAINFUL as these realizations are, i am grateful to finally know the truth

    For everyone who is struggling and just can't find success in w.e. your doing. I just want yall to know that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. The more you fail, the better the reward will be when you finally succeed. Im starting to re-set my mindset, too. I just recently had to accept that I won't succeed in pursuing a certain dream. I have failed many times pursuing this dream and refused to give up. I recently started embracing the fact that it just wasn't meant for me. With that being said it isn't the end of the world for me. It just simply means that a new opportunity is around the corner for me. Till then, I look forward to failling again and again. WHEN I DO GET IT RIGHT, ILL LOOK FORWARD TO FAILING AGAIN 😊

    I fail at everything I do. I can't do anything. I tried for four years composing a jazz song and there was many obstacles in my way. I know how I wanted it to sound in my mind but I just couldn't get it out. I tried writing the song out and failed. I have two supposedly friends that are professional musicians that didn't want to help me. They had every excuse in the book not to help. I tried one of those online hiring studio musicians sites and that flopped too. So as of today, I gave up. Too many obstacles and road blocks that stand in the way of something so simple as a song.

      @@JazzFan76 I'm sorry to hear this. A loss does hurt badly, and that which we can't change is hard for our hearts to learn to be peaceful about. But believe that even when you struggle or have pain, something will find it's way to you and change who you are at that time into who you can be when you face personal struggle at a different time. We secretly have our own inner strength that gets pushed away until you learn that it is really part of who you are inwardly and outwardly but this takes a lot of time :)

      @Michaell Alexander Listen, I dont mean to be cruel or burst your bubble and oddly enough, I'm not trying to be nice or caring, be ause honestly, no one cares about me, so i dont care about anyone. So consider this a stranger's courtesy: forget school, university, college, whatever. They're a waste of money and they are no longer about education; they're about indoctrination. What I'd do, if I were you, is find you a damn good job and work your way up. And I'd find some sort of passion that would interest you like music or painting or carpentry, anything. School has lost its humanity. Take it from me, an English Major.

    Leverage to strengthen resolve. One thing you are not weighing in, if you are addressing all people. Every day we each get older. Can you imagine lying in a hospital bed for 180 days straight? Can you imagine being driven to a mental breakdown when you were still relatively young, pumped full of RX meds that compromised your mind and a tribulation that obscures reality that lasts WELL OVER A DECADE?? I can. Then one day, I snapped out of it. I had to rise above the zombie state I was put in at the roots of betrayal by those I should have trusted with my life. Only when I did, it was too late. I realized I was old, tired and physically sick now. Your strategy may work for the young. Some of us though were robbed of our youth and can NEVER have it back. Never experience peace. Never experience happiness and we also have the privelidge of knowing that the worst is yet to come. Not getting even a fraction of what we want out of life is the least of our problems. Poverty, homelessness and a society that would rather shun than help is what we have to look forward to. Sure, we are in charge of our own destiny. What don't kill us makes us STRONGER right? If that is true then there can be NO margin for error on OUR part as individuals. I have already made that error, by trusting other people.
