If we choose to fail, is it really a failure? Or have we succeeded when we choose to fail and do in fact fail?

Answer 1

Yes, you succeeded in proving to the world that you are a total failure.. a self-declared loser and you should celebrate that success!

Answer 2

It depends on your ultimate goal. There are steps along the way which calls for a tactical failure. You have to attempt something, plan to fail, succeed in getting sympathy, and ultimately allow yourself to get propelled into a different public mindset and eventual success in your planned "goal". Politicians use it all the time, so do confidence tricksters and hustlers and well, manipulative people of all races.
Your question implies an unplanned failure. Two things can happen. the failure closes a door, a door that could have opened up only a closet or the toilet. Keep on walking and attempt another door. You may succeed the next times, but then again, you may just have succeeded in opening another door to the closet, or the toilet.
Luck is a key factor to your quest. Good luck, good health and may you be lucky in your next attempt to succeed.

Answer 3

It depends on how you see failure, people don't tell you that you have to fail and we all do, you see everyone that does anything great just doesn't give up ask any ball player ask any great writer ask anyone that has lived a successful life how many things didn't work out until they got to the way that did or the thing that made others see them as successful. They will probably tell you that they would like to forget and they just can't, but that was what made them successful and having at least one person that believed in them and encouraged them to do good no matter what with all their heart even when they were seemingly failing or out there messing up trying to find their way.

Answer 4

First of all, nobody CHOOSES to fail. DAH!!! Think about it. When one fails it is because they tried, just perhaps didn't succeed in finding the answer they were expecting, but it taught them something... If nobody tried, nobody would be taking any risks. If nobody took a risk, we'd never have progressed as a race..... Besides, failure can be defined by many people, many ways on many levels... So my question to you is, do we ever really fail?

Answer 5

In the short run. We have succeeded in failing, and we are proud of it, flaunt it. In the long run conscious failure hurts us greatly, because we mature, and feel as though you could've completed the task at hand easily campared to recent accomplishments.

Answer 6

Failure is the antithesis of success. It creates a logical oxymoron to succeed at failure.

Failure is failure, even if you take the passive approach or an active approach.

Answer 7

Success and failure can be relative at times differing from one person to another, but in general failure is failure no matter how it is achieved.

Answer 8

Just like falling. We never seem to know we're falling/failing until we hit the bottom. We choose to believe we're not falling/failing on the way down, because we know deep down we are and don't want to face it. We know the outcome and have to justify in succeeding thoughts.

Answer 9

DAH no one chooses to fail.....aaagh - That word just annoys me.

Well if you choose to fail...and fail...then you have succeeded! Succeeding to me is achieving something you have set out to do.

Answer 10

Failure is when we DECIDE we've failed. I think as long as the one who has "failed" doesn't consider it a loss then nothing has happened. All of reality is one's individual perception on the events.
