i feel blessed sharing my thoughts with you guys. so today on inspiration Wednesday
we want to talk about failure, a lot of us are afraid of failure but i don't know if
you have heard that Life is a risk, Never be afraid to Fail, the fear of failure often
blindfolds us and it scares us from trying out new things,for example i have
considered opening this blog since last year but the fear of who will read my post?
how will i be able to finance internet connections and all sort stopped me for like
5 months, but since i have started it has been all joy thanks to you all but sometimes
we need to fail before we can succeed.
For example lets talk about BILL GATES, the richest man in the world and
owner of Microsoft
Net Worth $72,700,000,000
Before being the richest person in the world and owning Xanadu 2.0
(the ‘Bill Gates House’), a computerized residence with real-time
adjustable temperature, music and lightening for each pin-wearing guest,
Bill Gates was a failing entrepreneur.
The Failure
His first company was Traf-O-Data,The company’s product was the Traf-O-Data 8008, a device which
could read traffic tapes and process the data. They first tried to sell the
processing service to the local County, but their first demo failed
because the machine ‘didn’t work’, recalled Gates.
The Lesson
His partner, Paull Allen, summarised the experience for exactly what it was:‘Even though Traf-O-Data wasn’t a roaring success, it was seminal in
preparing us to make Microsoft’s first product a couple of years later’
And happily, that’s exactly what they did. They kept on going and Microsoft
became the largest personal-computer software company in the world. But it’s
still nice to know that even the richest philanthropist in the world can make
business blunders.
Abraham Lincoln failed all his classes in high school except drama, but today he
is one of the greatest people in the World because he didn't capitalize on his
failures but he used it as a stepping stone for his success
Sometimes failing helps us re-evaluate and strategise well, it goes to show that if
you try harder or make some changes, you will surely suceed, Never be afraid
to fail because failure is feedback .
Good write up.
