The Fear Of Failure Fuels A Man
Disagree, argue, and please state your points ;) I am very open to them lol, either way, we learn every day.
I have been in these shoes. The one thing I was always afraid of was Failure and I have said this time without numbers. I don't like venturing into something if I was going to fail at the end of it all.
To me, there was no compensation for failure, so I thought.
If you have ever failed in an important project or the least thing like an examination then you will know that it feels like a death-end especially for some people that take life way too seriously.
Failure is a big threat to mankind whether we like it or not. Please let's keep the bunch of silly talks and most times words of motivation because no one really wants to be a failure in life.
Don't be carried away by motivational speakers that you don't know when and where to apply their logic.
To some persons, failure opened them up to different opportunities.
To some, failure hardened them and made them become what they are today.
To another, failure humbled them to learn from others and take up life challenges.
One way or the other, failure always has a way of dealing with man individually.
It either serves as a lesson to you or it's a threat.
The Fear Of Failure Is The Beginning Of Wisdom
Like I said, you can prove your point. Certainly, you can disagree or disapprove of this.
But to some extent, I have seen a person become overly serious with life and the task at hand simply because the word Failure was being mentioned.
A student who is threatened about becoming a failure if he or she doesn't utilize his or her time well to study will end up doing so and why is that? That student is simply afraid of failure or you can say that he or she doesn't wanna become a failure and that alone serves as wisdom to that person.
Fear, though not a positive virtue pushes or urges people to do positive things at times, does that even make any sense? Can't say.
Again you don't have to agree with me ;)
A lady who is afraid of making mistakes in marriage or making wrong decisions will stay single until she is convinced about what she wants and her decision is certain (after all, women are more concerned about building a good home as much as men are about their businesses, no need to argue this)
And this drives this person to read books, make research on building a good home, and also praying even before venturing into marriage.
Still, the fear of being a failure in marriage became the beginning of wisdom for the lady.
A man or some bunch of men has abruptly refused to venture into businesses of their desires or even start up something because they feel they might not be able to run the business or that their finance won't be enough to fund or run the business ot whatever project at hand to the end and so they are afraid of folding up after some years or months.
With this, such men will stop at nothing but to plan their life well, to better utilize the finances or money that gets into their account or pocket, and at the end of it all, fear of failure in business served as wisdom to make better and more reliable plans.
I will love you to pause here, take a deep breath, and ponder on this.
What truly drives you to keep striving?
What's your reason for working your ass out even when your body deserves some rest but you cheat it to it?
Why do you stay up all night looking at your computer and other gadgets and sometimes developing serious migraines yet you endure it?
What makes you burn the night candle when you could have comfortably embrace your pillow and sleep to your heart content?
What are those reasons that throw you off your bed and get you buckled and ready for the day?
For all or most of us, the ready-made answer is; "SUCCESS".
And what's the opposite of success, baby boy or girl, man or woman, it is "FAILURE".
If you aren't succeeding in something, then it definitely means you are failing in it.
No one loves to fail, except such person is a psycho (sorry to say)
No matter how little, no matter how long, no matter how difficult, we all desire success.
Yes, we all wish and want to succeed in whatsoever we do.
And truth be told if there was a way to eradicate all the motivations people receive only after failure, then the majority would have given their vote for it.
Failure teaches!
Failure empowers!
Failure humbles!
Failure threatens!
But the Fear Of Failure is the beginning of wisdom!
This is what fuels a man.
Wise up! If you must succeed in life.
Have a very lovely day and weekend!
Still your baby girl ;)

To me, this works both ways. Some people work hard because they don't want to fail. Others had to fail first in order to take things seriously.
Sometimes failing serves as a wake up call to a lot of people.
There are things you never can tell if will work out or fail, you just have to try first. So most times the motivational speakers do not really intend to deceive anyone, they speak the absolute truth.
Nicely written babe. It's how you're coping with zoo what again? 😂 And making time to still write here that Marvels me.
I owe you a treat, have a blessed day girl. 💓
Exactly what I said young girl😁
Sometimes must drive someone.
All the same, thanks for stopping by and leaving your input. I appreciate!
Take care of you!
To some people, failure fuels them up to go beyond, to some, failure is a negative vibe and makes them relent effort.
Well, it is a pity that many dwell on those people than on working to themselves to know what works for them than trying to apply what works for others on themselves only to end up in depression. That motivation was supposed to lighten our burden not the other way round.
Everyone wants to succeed and as such are afraid of failing which makes them stop to think hard and long before doing that thing.
Is there anyone that has never failed in life because as I read through your article, I realize more that failure and success work hand in hand, the same way good and bad works hand in hand in life?
Yeah, failure is truly a negative vibe, and yes both failure and success work hand in hand, but in that, if one isn't succeeding the person is failing and vice versa
Thanks for contributing your quota to this.
You are welcome. Thanks for the great content you share, they are thoughtful.
-AGREED!!!! Hi Ma'am @zellypearl ..wacky..I loved every word of this awesome article! SUPERB!!!
For myself..like everyone, my goal is SUCCESS or TO SUCCEED..whatever the right term for that. I will PROUDLY SAY I am a follower of GOOD WORDS, GOOD PEOPLE, GOOD DEEDS... I am a lover of GOOD GOOD BEHAVIOR, GOOD PERSON..and most of all I LOVE MY All LOVED ONES AND MYSELF. Why I need to mention all that because THOSE WORDS I UTTERED are my INSPIRATION to get and achieve my SUCCESS.
I am very much happy with how I manage myselF and my life. I follow good friends' advice, but it doesn't mean that all the time we have the same feeling and thinking about everything. But it doesn't mean we fight because of that. I will SUCK all the thing if it's in righteousness. I will CHOOSE the people who I wanted to be in my life..without the influence of others, I proved that SO MANY TIMES.
Lately, a very good friend of mine has wanted me to buy a dress, and she was also choosing the style, her intention was so good, she wanted me to look good, but I am stubborn the kind of person that always follow what gives me the true happiness according to my choice..so I didn't follow her and she understands me because she is a very good person who always wanted to help. I choose the style that I LOVED THE MOST! I am a follower of good people who serve as my inspiration but I am the driver of my life...and GOD is the 💕NAVIGATOR💕 so now that good friend of mine also supported my choice, she has a very pure and genuine heart.🙏💚
I am a very courageous woman. Fearless in so many things..but I HAVE FEAR of FAILURE because I HATE FAILURE that is why I said so many times WORD FAILURE IS NOT IN MY VOCABULARY because I replaced it with the word INSPIRATION and MOTIVATION, and yes that is my fuel going to my goal and success💕, and I drive it smoothly, no worries, no rush, especially in marriage, a very good planning of the couple for their better life in the future is always admirable, and this will also strengthen the relationship because both have the same goal, God will surely provide his guidance to them, because they both walk in righteousness. How I adored and loved people who are very responsible to plan for their lives for a good future without a rush. Sacrifices are always present to have a sweet success. It's not a race because it's a long-term purpose..and sweet happiness is the reward of it! Because God is the center of their lives.
I also know how to accept that I couldn't have everything I want in life because each of us has our destiny, but still, I will not see it as a failure, ots for the better, like how I left my previous high-ranked job because I am not happy there, so I will never choose anything if both my heart and mind are not favored on it!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful post
Hehehheeh Wacky this is a post in a comment hahaha!.. I got so inspired by your article..it fueled me to write, now I don't have the energy to write my post Hahaha!❤❤💚💚
Have a blessed day!

😂😂🤣🤣 it's okay Cherry I understand.
I kept reading and reading and it seems it wasn't ever gonna end and I was like, she is quite the talkative😂😂 (just kidding lol)
I am a little like you, I mean I choose what makes me happy and not what friends or people suggest for me.
And God is the center of my life, I believe I can succeed in whatever put my mind to.
Thanks for this awesome mini-post lol.
Have a very lovely weekend!

You know, I take failures as another motivation. When I fall, I dust myself and walk at a faster pace, cheers!
That's cool then!
The fact remains that when you have the feelings of failure, nothing can stop you from failing. I'm the other way, when you have failed and you totally accept your failures and work towards it, then you shall succeed leaving the failure behind you.
This means it's all from your heart and depends on how you feel about responding to failures.
