Success, Failure & Courage Leadership Qualities
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill Success and failure are cyclical and are part of life. Both are not permanent. Striving to achieve a goal is part of the excitement, but what about when you do achieve it? Is that the end of striving? What we often don’t consider is that failure. It is not forever and we can recover from it. What implications do success and failure have in common for those who experience them? It is their ability to continue afterwards, which means they need courage. In the face of disaster, when everything that has been tried has not worked, you feel dejected. Instead of feeling to run and hide, turn to actions with more immediate results. Look for reasons to continue instead of making excuses. It is always going to be courage and the most compelling way to overcome fear. That’s really what holds many of us back. Embrace life with all its challenges and uncertainties. Looking ahead, no matter if the goal is easy or tough, no matter whether you doubt your abilities and strength, let alone perseverance and motivation, call upon your inner reservoir of courage to help you take the first step. The best thing about courage is that it is constantly renewable, cannot be extinguished and fuels us most in the time of need. Aiyan Thiruvalluvar says கேடும் பெருக்கமும் இல்லல்ல நெஞ்சத்துக் கோடாமை சான்றோர்க் கணி. (115) संपन्नता विपन्नता, इनका है न अभाव । सज्जन का भूषण रहा, न्यायनिष्ठता भाव ॥ (११५) Explanation by Scholars: Failure & Success come not without cause. It is the ornament of the wise to preserve evenness of mind (under both). ஒருவர்க்கு வாழ்வும், தாழ்வும் உலக இயற்கை; அந்த இரு நிலைமையிலும் நடுவுநிலையாக இருந்து உறுதி காட்டுவது பெரியோர்க்கு அழகாகும். The meaning of the verse "Not to be afraid is foolishness, to be afraid is the business of the wise" is that not to be afraid of things to be afraid of is ignorance; to be afraid of things to be afraid of is the business of the wise. That is, to be afraid of things to be afraid of, such as danger, error, blame, and to be brave without doing so is foolishness. "அஞ்சுவது அஞ்சாமை பேதைமை, அஞ்சுவது அஞ்சல் அறிவார் தொழில்" என்ற திருக்குறளின் பொருள், அஞ்ச வேண்டிய விஷயங்களுக்குப் பயப்படாமல் இருப்பது அறியாமை ஆகும்; அஞ்ச வேண்டிய விஷயங்களுக்கு அஞ்சுவது அறிவாளிகளின் செயலாகும் என்பதாகும். அதாவது, ஆபத்து, தவறு, பழி போன்ற அஞ்சத்தக்கவைகளுக்கு அஞ்சி விலகிச் செல்வதே அறிவுடையார் செயலாகும், அவ்வாறு செய்யாமல் தைரியமாக இருப்பது மூடத்தனம்.
