Rational or more likely irrational fear of failure is probably the most pervasive of all the fears. This is also the most public and visible to the outside world if things don’t work. In very simple terms don’t worry too much about what other people think … really who cares. If your family, friends and close personal network are supportive then you are good to go.

Work hard, do your best, strive for success, however, if the worst happens just remember your failures do not define you. In fact there is a saying that success is a poor teacher. Gandalf from the “Lord of The Rings” probably said it best “the burnt hand teaches best”. It is really all about attitude and personal character. In every problem or failure are the seeds of opportunity.

“Failure is the opportunity to begin again only this time more intelligently” – Henry Ford

Henry Ford struck out three times before successfully starting The Ford Motor Company. Thomas Edison had his share of failures before the light bulb went on. Most successful entrepreneurs have their share of failure before they experience success.

You are what you think you are.
