Failure Can Lead You To A Successful Career

Failure to success

People in our society tend to view failure in a negative light. The most obvious example is in schools where students are discouraged from getting failing grades. In the real world, on the other hand, failure can be a good thing.

Think about Thomas Edison. In reaction to a query on his missteps, Edison replied, “I even have now no longer failed 10,000 times, he said. “I`ve correctly located 10,000 methods that won’t work.” What could have occurred if he had given up after the 9,999th attempt? Now a new study shows that failing early for your profession could make you greater success in the future. Now, how can failure lead you to a successful career?

How Can Failure Lead To Career Success?

Disappointment holds your ego in line
Research further shows that the best chefs are unassuming pioneers. Disappointment encourages lowliness, which isn’t just essential for initiative yet personal development. Scholarly modesty implies perceiving that we don’t know it all. It allows us to recognize our impediments, look for answers and acknowledge novel thoughts.

Failure stimulates positive change

You can look at a layoff as a negative event or as an opportunity to go in a new direction, for instance. I can talk until I’m blue in the face about people who weren’t enjoying their jobs or learning anything new, who went on to more fulfilling careers after a layoff, buyout or restructuring. Although they were forced out of their comfort zone so they could follow their passion and make a bigger contribution to society. Sometimes all we need to find career success is a little push.

Beating failure teaches resilience

It’s not merely the act of failing that leads to career success. It’s failing and then getting back up and trying again. Coming back from failure teaches resilience, and resilience is the one quality all successful people have in common. So many examples to point out; Oprah Winfrey , J.K Rowling , Walt Disney etc.

It gives you a new perspective

It was Ellen DeGeneres who said, “It’s failure that gives you the proper perspective on success.” Every success comes with hundreds (perhaps thousands) of rejections, blunders and defeats—all of which are just as important as the accomplishment itself. No success story happens overnight. What we tend to see are mostly the wins, not the losses.
