Defeat

 Everyone knows the Disney Corporation as one of the most lucrative companies in existence, with high standards of quality and continuous innovations.

 Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper job early in life because he ‘lacked imagination’. After a few failed businesses, his upbeat attitude kept him going forward. He would say, ‘a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you’.

 So often, so many of us are who are halted in our tracks by situational failures. But it is pertinent to note that the big achievers are the ones who are not deterred by defeat.

 Winners are motivated to move on even in defeat. They treat it is as a challenge and turn it into a resolve to put in better efforts. They are not discouraged by judgemental comments on their capabilities.

 Defeat is only when we give up. Every failure is just another learning experience, if we treat it as so. No drawback can hold you back, if you keep stepping ahead. One can even turn dispiriting comments into fuel for the fire in the belly. Like Disney did!

 Don’t let failure turn into defeat

Keep going forward to the feat!
