Don't ask what it means, because you won't like the answer. A terrible word, especially when directed from one member of a partnership to another.

But never fear, all is not lost, and failure CAN be turned into success, but only by your determination to prove that you are not a failure.

Being labelled a failure can often prove to be very beneficial. It can force you out of your negativity with a determination ( I like that word ) to turn things around. It can pull you out of your lethargic state and be a very life-changing motivation.

Fat people can diet with more determination. ( There's that word again ).
Heavy smokers can stop. ( I can't... OK, I'm a failure.)
Heavy drinkers too can become tea-total. ( I never have drank alcohol ).
Unfit people can become fit.

So, as you can see, being called a failure can often be a help in changing your outlook on your life.

What do you really want to be ?. What do you really want to do ?. Don't wait for someone else to call you a failure. Motivate yourself from within. Do it.!
You know you can.

Good luck.

Kitosdad.

I think this word"failure" can be a two-edged weapon because it may give some people motivations to improve themselves but also it can be a discourage to some other people, they may get upset hearing this word and decide not to try again"I am not a psychologist "

I'm sure we can all think of someone who turned initial failure into success.

Folk you revel in failure are never heard from again.

Failure is not falling down, but refusing to get up.

Both success and failure are tinged with the conclusive tone....an absence of movement whereas life is moving. Therefore, Aristotle insists on action --

"Those who act win, rightly win, the most noble and good things in life".

We all must realize that emotion is created by motion.The way we move changes the way we think,feel,and behave.
Movement affects our body's chemistry ,including everything from more activities (such as running ,clapping, or jumping) to the smallest movements in the muscles of the face.

Don't forget that when you pass through , no one can pin you down,no one can call you back!!

Good luck my great friend ,Bill ...
