How Do you Cope with Failures?

[BigDrako]

Most of the time I have a high spirit even when the result is not showing yet. But there are darker days where I just want to give up. How do you guys deal with times like this?

I put on my big boy pants and make adjustments to that the activity I want to generate gets generated.

Leave emotions out of your work and you'll be glad you did.

I learn more from my failures than from things going my way. Everything you try is a learning experience; if it works out, that is great, but if not, then I have to make adjustments and figure out why.

Getting a dose of reality is hard, especially when you have high hopes or really believe in a project, but it forces you to trace back your actions. If you're lucky, you find your mistake (be it technical or in your planning).

As you collect more successes and failures you'll understand that you have higher chances of success when you are not emotionally attached to projects. It's hard to keep that distance at times, and I find myself failing at this sometimes, too.

As alluded to above, it's just another chance to learn and refocus......

Don't dwell on things you can't change, focus on what you can...... and remember life is just some big roller coaster with all the the twists, turns, ups, downs, thrills and spills.......

I don't believe in success, I just believe in delayed failure.

I just use them as lessons and correct mistakes. If a project fails, after months of so called failure I see almost exactly why. Months wasted, so next years are fruitful.

You get what you focus on.

Suck it up. Everyone feels it sometimes. The difference between a guy with an abandoned Journey thread and a guy on a yacht is that the first one didn't suck it up and was expecting shit to be easy.

The first one is a teenager and another is a professional who is 45.

Success or failure is a part of life, I usually face it calmly, and always tell myself "everything will be okay".

Nothing is a failure...you just figured out how NOT to do something. Budget 10 failures to succeed and then move quickly to through the failures quickly and reach your goal.

Think of failures as hills you have to climb offer until you get to the beach.
