While there are many success posts on studyblrs, I have rarely seen one talking about failure. Unfortunately, I think we sometimes value success so much that we forget about failure. Failure is an inevitable part of success.  So, without further ado, here are 3 steps on how to fail. 

1) The 24 hour rule

Give yourself 24 hours to grieve over your failure. Yes, its okay to break down and cry in bed! You have tried (so very hard) and your efforts seemed to have gone to waste. There is no point in wasting energy by forcing yourself to be optimistic immediately. Be sad. Be angry. You are entitled. 

2) Reflect

Your 24 hours are up. Now is the time to get over it. Yes, you have failed but are you really going to give up? Really? Not the slightest chance in hell. So grab a pen and look over your errors. Detach yourself from the emotional aspect and analyze your failure. What went wrong? What should you do next time? What can you improve on?

3) Get back up and try again

It’s time to dust off your scraped knees and get up again. Because who cares if you fail? Nobody succeeds on the first try. You have no place to go but up.  Now you know that you capable of handling failure and getting pass it. Remember, failure is dead but you are alive. In the end, the key to success is failure.
