3) In this success oriented world how loving failure is possible when failure is always an undesirable outcome? Answer:
Yes, it’s like an injection which hurts but cures very fast. All of us hate strict teachers who make us toil for surprise tests and assignments but we all respect them when we discover before exam that we have already completed our syllabus. Similar philosophy applies in case of a discipline loving father, military training etc. The only time you don't fail is the last time you try anything and wise people love to learn from failures.
4) Here we are talking about cancer survivors, differently abled people etc, how were they failures, what was their mistake? Answer:
Of course it was never their mistake and the misery they faced was due to ‘health failure’, ‘birth time defects or disabilities’,’crippling accidents’ etc but were not they related to these failures or problems? Their working capacity was heavily affected and they failed to perform things which a normal person can do or which they were able to do earlier. They faced the emotional turmoil, the social stigma and unwanted sympathetic look. Many of them crumbled emotionally and thought of committing su***de too. At last they learned the hard lessons from ‘Failure of their Fate’ and heroically took their fate in their hands to mould it to suit them. That’s why they are honored in our e-Magazine.
5) Yes I Failed?? Answer:
‘Yes I Failed’ is a platform for common people around us to share their struggle story. It is an opportunity to ‘connect the dots’ of failure and success in their life by looking back in their life. We are sure that anybody who will do this is going to create a clear picture of their life and inspire people around them. It is an attempt to eradicate the stigma associated with failure as we all hide it under the blanket of numerous lies to defend our false image. We give people an opportunity to bravely ‘shed the load of lies’, ego and social stigma as ‘There is no Failure only Feedback’. We are not looking for ABRAHAM LINCONs or DHIRUBHAI AMBANIs but we are looking for common people around us (friends, family, colleagues etc) who once failed miserably but today they are self-reliant and living a life with dignity. Who are interested in sharing their learning experience from failure can call us for an interview or mail us their ‘true story’ with their photographs at [email protected]. You can omit points which you find too sensitive to share publically but whatever you share should be true not a ’cooked up story’. We can write about you as it is done in biography or you can tell your story in your own words.
6) You and Failure? Answer:
