Do not dread failure: Fear, not failure is the biggest enemy of success. Failure could mean a lot of things. It could mean education as Thomas Edison said. It could be success in disguise. It could mean that your effort to be successful is not enough. On the other hand, it could mean that success does not befit you. Whichever way, it depends on how you see and take failure, but fear could only mean one thing: the faith that you will fail. If you believe that you will fail, then you are already a failure before you actually begin to fail. One of the greatest lesson I learnt as a child is that the more I am afraid of making mistakes, the more mistakes I actually make. This is so, because by being fearful, I made the mistake I am yet to make come into reality. Like fire, failure can be a faithful servant and it can also act as a cruel master. If you dread failure, it acts as a cruel master and suppress you so that you will never rise but if you dare failure, it becomes a faithful servant that is capable of working out your success. Many people dread failure because nobody wants to associate with failures but everybody wants to be seen around with people that are successful. When you fail, people laugh at you. This could discourage you from trying again but do not dread failure because you don't want to fail, only dread failure beacuse you don't want to be a failure. You are not a failure because you fail, you only become a failure if you refuse to get up after you are knock down for the fear that you will fall again. Robert Schuller states, "the people who are really failures are the people who set their standards so low, keep the bar at such a safe level, that they never run the risk of failure." no one becomes somebody in life without first passing through something. An iron does not become a steel without first passing through a furnace. "Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. If you're not failing, you're not growing." - H. Stanley Judo. "Remember, there are two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you an opportunity to try a new approach... Most people think of success and failure as opposites, but they are actually both products of same process." - Roger Von Oech.

Are your ways rough and strait, and it seem that all hope is lost? Is your fire lacking fuel, and your heart holds great misery? Does your anguish outweigh the sand of the seas, because all your effort to succeed in life is of no avail? And you feel like giving up. Here is a word for: the road to success is not straight. It is rough and runs uphill. No one becomes successful in life without passing through the road. The race of life is for the fit and the battle for the strong, no matter how tough things are and how rough the road may be. No matter how cruel the weather is and how dark the cloud is, if you don't give up, you will overcome. Remember that every cloud has a silver lining and no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. Look up, O woman's born and behold the rays of hope beaming down on you. Weeping may go on all night, but joy comes with the morning. Don't ever give up, only failures do.

When the time is right, people do say; I will do this and that. But is the time ever right, if what we postpone until later could be done now? What do people call the right time? A time when a man gets everything he wants in life? Or the time when everything is perfect? But has any man ever got it like that before? The man who waits for the right time will never gets anything done; For time flies as though it has the wings of a bird. So should a man waits for time to fly him by; saying that the right time is not now; until his right time becomes night time; And he no longer could see nor do anything right again. What a wasteful and meaningless life is the life of such man!

Discover yourself: Self-discovering and self-knowledge are the stepping stones to living a dynamic life. No one who failed to discover himself can live a dynamic life. According to Thomas Alva Edison, few of us know what we are capable of doing; we have never pushed ourselves hard enough to find out. If you don't know yourself well enough, you will settle for less and in that way, you can't live your life to the fullest. According to A. W Gozer, we may be known by the following: 1. What we want most. 2. What we think about most. 3. How we use our money. 4. What we do with our leisure time. 5. The company we enjoy. 6. Whom and what we admire. 7. What we laugh at.
