Failure to Success

“Failure is an experience. Who can benefit from experience will be the winner.”

–Wael El-Manzalawy 

If you attempt anything in life, you will fail at some point. So many people allow their failure to be fatal. The first time any of us tried to walk, we all fell down but we decided to get up and try again. 

Bill Gates watched his first company, Traf-O-Data, a company aimed at processing traffic data, crumble to the ground. It was a complete disaster. This failure did not hold Gates back from exploring new opportunities, and just a few years later he created his first Microsoft product and now is worth over $80 billion. 

Walt Disney, one of the most creative geniuses of the 20th century, was once fired from a newspaper because he was told he had no creativity. He then raised $15,000 and formed Laugh-O-Gram Films but eventually had to close it.  Out of money and desperate, Disney found his way to Hollywood and faced even more criticism and failure until finally his first few films skyrocketed in popularity. 

The moral of the story is simply this…when we fail we MUST try again! 

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” - Joshua 1:8
