EMBRACING FAILURE AS A FRIEND
Oleh: Paulus Winarto *
WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE FAILED
Lord, are you trying to tell me something?
For …
Failure does not mean I’m a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.
Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.
Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.
Failure does not mean I’ve been disgraced;
It does mean I dared to try.
Failure does not mean I don’t have it;
It does mean I have to do something in a different way.
Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.
Failure does not mean I’ve wasted my time;
It does mean I have an excuse to start over.
Failrure does not mean I should give up;
It does mean I must try harder.
Failure does not mean I’ll never make it;
It does mean I need more patience.
Failure does not mean You have abandoned me;
It does mean You must have a better idea. Amen.
