Babylon's Law: The flowers of success all grow on the ruins of "failure."

Someone said: "Many people dream of success, but I think that success can only be achieved after repeated failures and reflections." In fact, success represents only 1% of your efforts, it can only be the crystallization of the other 99% of what is called failure", indeed, success is only bred in failure, there is no experience of failure, success basically does not exist, because success is based on the exploration of repeated failures

Failure doesn't mean a bad record, it just allows us to rule out other possibilities in countless attempts, and to steer us in the wrong direction. Billen, former president of the American Copper Company, said: If you have not had a record of failure in a year, you have not dared to try all kinds of opportunities that should be seized" That is, there are opportunities in failure, most of the flowers of failure are on the ruins, which is the famous "Billon's law" People always grow up in trying and making mistakes, do nothing, of course, eliminate the willingness to fail, but also reduce the probability of success to zero

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, any successful person, before success, has experienced several times more failures than ordinary people, Ma Yun repeatedly encountered a wall in his job search when he was young, and his entrepreneurship experienced four fiascos; mathematician Lobachevs repeatedly failed in proving parallel axioms, and later he summarized the mistakes of his predecessors and the reasons for his failure, and finally solved the problems that have long plagued the mathematical community. This shows that as long as you are good at summarizing, you will not make mistakes in vain, and the accumulation and precipitation of mistakes can also pave a path to success

Lincoln, who had no stable job until the age of 25, decided to pursue a career in politics in order to make a living, so he ran for state legislature with enthusiasm. However, due to his lack of seniority and political experience, he lost the election and suffered two defeats in just one year

He adjusted his state, devoted himself to business, and started a company, thinking that he could usher in a turnaround, but the good times were not long, and the newly established enterprise went bankrupt in less than a year. He also owed a huge debt, and spent the next 17 years busy paying off the debt

At the age of 26, he found a life partner and became engaged to his beloved girl, but on the eve of the marriage, his fiancée died suddenly due to illness, and under the grief, Lincoln was hit and fell ill for a long time

Three years later, his energy was restored, and he began to try to select the president of the state legislature, but failed again; at the age of 34, he ran for the U.S. Congress, but still failed; at the age of 37, he made a comeback and ran for congress again, this time finally elected. At the end of his term, he struggled to win re-election, but unfortunately failed to do so; in order to survive, he applied for a land official in honshu, but was sternly rejected. At the age of 46, he ran for the Senate again and lost the election again; two years later, he ran for vice president, but he still failed; and two years later, he failed to run for the Senate again. At the age of 52, he was finally elected the 16th president of the United States

Lincoln's failure is like a history of successive failures, but finally succeeded, the previous half of a long failure has become a prelude to success, if a person can take failure as a growth experience, it will eventually turn into positive energy, and defeat will become victory

Failure is inevitable, no one can succeed casually, it is just an episode on your way forward, when you encounter failure, do not be discouraged, do not be upset, failure just shows that you have not found a way to succeed
