Failure is a word that came out of the womb of negative thinking.
Actually, failure comes when an opportunity comes our way, and generates an impulse to win but we don't go ahead. This is negative thinking and this is real failure.
I strongly believe the moment you decide to participate in an event you become a winner because your presence increases the number of participants to one and believe me your mere presence gives a tough fight to the winners and after all even if you lose you are the one who give the winner required zeal to win.
Failure is just a thought in mind or you can say a feeling when you compare yourself with someone else
you can overcome it by thinking that ultimately there is only one winner in a race and every time you don't need to be a winner, let others also get chance to be a winner.
I too believe that our victory must be so gracious that the other person is not stung by defeat.
You have to imbibe in your thinking, language, gesture, posture and overall body language only one thing that you have Solution only solutions in your life.
If you make this as your principles then you will never in your life face Failure.
