FAILING INTELLIGENTLY
The renowned inventor Charles Kettering suggested that we must learn to fail intelligently. He said, "We need to teach the highly educated person that it is not a disgrace to fail and the he must analyze every failure to find its cause. He must learn how to fail intelligently, for failing is one of the greatest arts in the world."Kettering gave these suggestions for turning failure into success :
@ Honestly face defeat; never fake success.
@ Exploit the failure; don't waste it. Learn all you can from it.
@ Never use a failure as an excuse for not trying again.

Kettering's practical advice reminds us that failure is a natural part of progressive living. Face it. Learn from it and don't make excuses for failure. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

THE WISE WAY - Parodoxical Commandments

  • People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
  • If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
  • If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
  • If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
  • What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
  • If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
  • The good you do today, people may often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
  • Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
  • You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
