'Success is failure, failure is success.We never succeed or fail, we always fail.'Can someone explain this?

Answer 1

This statement is a metaphorical paradox. It is a paradox in the sense that it uses opposing words and ideas. When one looks at it, there is a tendency that one might be confused because of its different twist, but when one takes it bit by bit, it may begin to make sense. I think that failure is the back door to success. We all, have failed at a time in our lives but if we were able to realise that failure and work on it, it then becomes our stepping stone to success. So in a sense, failure (when realised and worked on) is success.If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.' Thomas Watson, founder of IBM, uttered these famous words. As you try to leave an impressive mark at work or school, a failure can bring unexpected twists and turns. How you deal with failure is what will ultimately help you succeed. The question is: are you smart enough to learn from your mistakes?

For example, Walt Disney went broke seven times and had a nervous breakdown before he became successful. At age 40, Henry Ford was broke. Enrico Caruso, who became one of the world's greatest tenors, was advised by his voice teacher to quit singing because he failed so many times to carry his high notes. Thomas Edison failed more than 6,000 times before he could get an electric light bulb to work, but when a child, one of his teachers once called him a dunce. Abraham Lincoln was well known for his many failures but became one of America's most beloved presidents. And Albert Einstein and Werner von Braun both failed courses in mathematics but now both are one of the world's most famous scientists. History is filled with similar stories.

Success without failure is fruitless indeed. With failure comes the right to success. Many successes are filled with even more failures. So, to experience failure is good and it should be used as a tool for success. For with failure, success will find you. Failure will lay the foundation that will allow you to build towards success.So, succeeding to fail is, in an odd sort of a way, a success.

Hope this answers your question :)

Answer 2

here is my take on this quote: first and foremost we are human and the only way to succeed and mature and grow up is through trial and failure and through ups and downs. success is one of those things that does not occur overnight but rather with time which gives up the opportunity of falling, crumbling, failing and learning from our mistake to be better people. success means that you have to fall to lose it all like Linkin Park says, but you get up every time and you move on and you learn and you grow and mature and understand things from a more mature prospective and we always both failed and succeeded.if failed to we gain more knowledege, to become a better person and we succeeded because of the the failure in our lives but if we as people have not learned any lessons or anything by the end of this then we have failed overall!

Answer 3
