It's simple - Don’t Fail, Learn from Others Failure

If you believe “Failing is the stepping stone to success”, it’s half-truth. Neither, “rising after failing” makes it complete. To be successful, you need to learn from others mistakes as well. If you keep on failing and believe that you are learning, life goes in a click with undone tasks piled up even up in heaven. The chanakya says the same, “Learn from the mistakes of others… you can’t live long enough to make them all yourselves” So, I believe the ways of learning should be debunked and re-learnt.

I would like you to imagine that you are in a zoo full of wild beast. Someone comes to you and ask “What would a lion do if a man enters the den?” What would you do? First, jump into to the den to learn, what really a lion does because after entering a den, you can do anything, only lion does. Second, you won’t go inside because you have listened, “lions are wild animals and it kills human”. Third you won’t jump into the den because you have seen people been killed. The decision is yours but the wise decision I consider is second and third i.e. learning from others experiences without getting hurt. You don’t need to jump into the den to learn lions kills human. The same thing I was talking to the university students about a year ago, then I asked one of the sincerely listening student, “How can you summarize?” His answer was “We should learn from others mistakes”. What do you think, “Is he right?” He is partially right. Why? Let me give you an example- You go daily at the swimming pool and listen what the swimmer says about tips and techniques. Finally, you decided to jump into the pool. Would you be successful? You may or may not but you had an experience i.e. you learnt from your failing as well as others experience of failing. So, there’s a high probability of becoming successful. You need to jump into the pool and experience the sink and the float of life.

If you are sincere enough to learn, it’s easy. You just need to listen, observe or experience based on your circumstances, competencies and plan for a long term.

1. Listen:?Listening is considered as an efficient way of learning. Moreover, it is also one of the most sincere forms of respect. People love sharing their experience and we learn from their experience. It’s a win-win situation. Moreover, listening to others expands the horizon of your knowledge.?You already know about yourself, talking about yourself does not make you superior but listening does.
2. Observe:?I want to write and the secret behind the content of my writing comes through the observation. The observation is about figuring out what others are thinking.?You can then equivocal them. If you are an aspiring writer, motivational speaker, entrepreneur or any dream you wanted to be, just observe. The power of listening and observing is completion of 80 percent of your success.
3. Experience:?Finally you need to experience wisely, your trial for experience should be based on the risk, feasibility and probability. If you have listen and observed sincerely, there’s a least chance of failing and learning from successful trial is high.

The meaning of life is growing through rather than going through (Eric ButterWorth). Going through means just learning least with experience but growing through is about gaining the right experience with right decisions. Human evolution has given us mouth to speak but let’s not forget we have an eye and ear too. Let’s learn, observe and experience with our full sense. This is the ultimate truth for increasing the slope of our success with least failed life lessons – even failing becomes precious learning experiences.
