No one wants to fail and if I can find my way, my life will be so perfect that there will be no chance or any trace of failure. Unfortunately, we can’t get lucky everyday. No matter how long the good days are, the bad day will come and we have to accept it.
There was a time in my university days when I thought of starting a business. I’m a lover of jewelry and I’m gifted to know if a jewelry is original or fake. I dashed to Eko market after a week of gathering the money so I can start my jewelry business.
I bought the goods with a little amount of money and immediately I got back to the hostel, I took them to my friends and they bought almost everything. That’s a good business. Isn’t it? The business seemed interesting and it has a high success rate.
Sadly, the second time I went to the market, I didn’t make any single sale for two weeks. That was discouraging and I thought and said to myself.
“I’ve failed so maybe I shouldn’t do this anymore”.
I think one thing which I failed to realize is that everyday can’t be the same so I felt bad and stopped the business.
As for my jewelry, I started wearing them one by one until I met a lady one day. She approached me and asked me where I got my jewelry. I was just about to say to her that I bought it at the market but I was so smart to remember and say to her that I sell jewelry.
She bought it from me at the spot and I went home to take the set of jewelry for her. That’s how I picked up my abandoned jewelry business.
The fact that I failed to sell a single jewelry for two weeks doesn’t mean that I still won’t succeed and that led me to not posting up my stocks for over a month until a lady discovered me again. That’s how life is.
Failure is something that we can never escape from. Even the people whom we think are very smart and perfect also have their days of failure even if they do not tell us.
I think the best thing which I did to myself is picking up my jewelry business after the lady had discovered me and that has been paying my bills since a long time now.
Are you scared of failure? Why? You don’t have to be scared. You can’t fake or runaway from failure. Just embrace it when it comes to you. When you embrace failure, you tend to heal very fast but when you do not embrace it, it’s going to be the same as deceiving yourself and that’s not going to be good on your side.
If you ever fail, be relaxed. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Move on so fast that you never have to think about the fact that you failed.
