What if I don’t win

By Mahjabeen Mehboob Raja
Oh my God, what if I don’t win?”
This is one of ours greatest fears while going to achieve something. Everything we do is to be successful but the fear of losing remains always the same. It grows big and becomes a monster one day and kills all our positive feelings regarding success. Those who take interest in playing Chess exactly know this that no one has ever won a game of chess by moving forward only, sometimes you have to move backward to get a better step forward. While reading one day about success I came across a saying of – Thomas J. Watson in which he beautifully explained the formula of success. I am sharing it with you people here.
 “Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” .”
Formula of success is different for everyone. But the people around you will always look for the outcome. When someone looks at our success he or she thinks it very big but they forget to count those little victories on which our success rests upon. Success does not come at once. It involves thousands of sleepless nights and unlimited dreams and obviously your strong determination and will power which stands by with you in those hard times, when people says O, you lost again? Always remember a successful campaign riddled with troubles and failures. People think that to achieve certain goals is success but success is journey which never ends you keep on going and achieving little victories. For example a person worth talented wins marathon race, people will appreciate him only for his success at the moment they will no more interested in the struggle he made to win this game nor they will think about the hardships which he faced .All successful people had faced hard times in their lives but people will look at how it turned out for them, in the end. Dale Carnegie wrote a best-selling book titled How to Win Friends and Influence People. One of the key premises of this book was that everyone’s favorite subject is actually themselves and that the sweetest sound to their ears is the sound of their own name.
What we tend to do is confirm our greatest fears and then overcome them. To win a race, you don’t necessarily have to do your best – to win a race; you simply have to do better than everyone else.Things may not start too well but your hard work and continuous struggle will make the ending a memorable one because “Winning isn’t everything, but the will to win is.” There is not one path to success, but many. Choose one, stay on it, and you’ll eventually reach your destination. All you have to own yourself with all successes and failures, work hard, stick to your aim and be optimistic that your are a champion and one day you will rise and shine.
