Failure is proof that the desire wasn't strong enough.?

Question

What is your opinion?

Answer 1

Strong desire is an important ingredient for success but it is not the only one. Strong desire also enables us to take all factors into account prudently.

However, the executioner's knowledge, his technique, his skills and physical capacity, the place, time, the team, physical surroundings all play an important role in the success of any project. Some are absolutely out of hands of the executioner.
The chaotic nature of our universe makes it impossible to guarantee 100% success for any operation.

NEVER, that's impossible. If you look around, everyone who has become or done something great has faced repitative failures in their work. Just ask a scientist or a medical student how many times they faced failure in the lab.

Question of desire may come, but you should know that failure diminishes desire, so one has to start his work having strong desire. Failure happens regardless of level of desire.

Failure means you are getting closer to success, you just need to try harder.

Answer 3

Failure is only proof of expectations. Somewhere, doubt crept in and the belief was there that failure would be the end result. The desire can be as strong as you want, but if the belief fails, then so does all else.
As well as desire, there must be belief in the outcome. You will always get what you believe to be true - whether failure or success.
Another way of looking at it is that failure just brings you one step closer to success.
Who was that famous salesman who said that each rejection he received was welcome as he knew that he had to receive x amount of rejections before he made a sale. So each one brought him closer to the sale and he ticked them off as getting him one step closer to his goal!
Whatever you believe, will be :-)
Hope this helped

i disagree with that statement. you can have the greatest desire to win the lottery, and maybe even for unselfish reasons, but never win it. you may argue that those are random instances but failure and success are random outcomes. sometimes the best business plans crumble because of other factors and other times, where people wish for failuire, success reigns.

i think that the statement failure may be a result of the desire not being strong enough would be a better statement

Answer 5

I think that is a dangerous statement. Desire is a factor, but skill is more important. No matter how much effort is put in, if the basics aren't there it will not happen - otherwise we would all be premiership footballers or whatever your goal is.

I think you won't be successful without desire, but with all the desire in the world you may still be unsuccessful

Answer 6

Failure is proof that you had the faith to try in the first place.
Real failure is not having the desire to try again....

Answer 7

No, either you were unlucky or you couldn't physically, mentally or emotionally do it. Sometimes your "best" just isin't good enough.
I can't help but think of the passengers on flight 93 on september 11. The plane crashed, killing all on board but it's safe to assume the passengers desire to survive was pretty strong.

Answer 8

I would not like to go down on my knees and place at the alter of desire what belongs to my spirit. But I consider desire as powerful and driving agent in life. Desire in its essence is like fire. It burns, and then burns upon life. Failure is not the proof of the weakness of desire, but it is the proof of your own weakness within your desire; if you cannot succeed within one desire change it with another one.

Desires can be fuelled, aired, or kept smouldering for ages. In all their forms desires are potentially strong. They have power to overwhelm all other faculties of the mind for the sole purpose of their fulfilment. If a desire is weak then that would only mean that there is not sufficient supply of the fuel it needs.

Desires are foreign to essential human mind. They find their reason in the world around us; they are of the ilk of the emotions that are also inventively foreign, like anger, resentment, ambition and greed. When a desire takes over then noble things in the mind are at risk. Desires feed on our spirits. It is difficult for a desirous person to be patient, to be contented, to be generous and open. As a desire would require focus of all our abilities.

If you then want to serve the purpose of your desire then do not resist, and provide all you have, and be ready to be driven, for you do not know yet what lurks in shadows of a heart that has desire – fear, fear comes with every desire, and goes away when we learn to over come. So, to fight an enemy as subtle and as deeply influential as fear you need to make pledge your full loyalty to what fear is but the price of – desire. Through your desire you will find what you desire as you prize, and you will that as long as the desire reigns supreme in the heart.

Answer 9

My father used to say: "Don't plan your [business] failure by working your desires into it." ... Okay so I'm slightly biased in this case, but believe me the man was a categorical winner in everything he touched in the game of life [and mostly, I would say, by NOT allowing his "runaway personal desires" to stand in the way of success]. ... There is a world of difference between "Directed Enthusiasm" and "Desire".

Answer 10

failure occurs the moment we stop trying, so yeah I think we fail when the desire isn't strong enough
