Chapter 1: The Basic Lesson in the School of Failure 20 Undisputable Facts About Adversity, Defeat, Failure and Disappointment Failure is always a demoralizing and upsetting experience for any man or woman. Nobody likes to be enrolled into the school of adversity or failure. But the truth of life is that you cannot ALWAYS stop difficult things from happening to you. What you can control is your reaction to them. Failure is a mind trapper. It traps and enslaves your mind into accepting that you have come to the end of the road in your life’s journey and that you can never succeed again in life. I will need to tell you that unless you learn to respond to failures in spiritually radical ways, they can paralyze you, demotivate you, and limit your likelihood of success and going forward in life and ministry. You will need to know that in God, defeat, boredom, lack of success in your life are symptoms or signs indicating that you need to start afresh in accordance with Isaiah 43:18-19 The current situation you are passing through which has limited your destiny …show more content…

    What exactly is failure? It is, according to the dictionary, “Lack of success.” Many people say that “failure isn’t the falling down, but the staying down.” But who are we to say? Lack of hope, the thought that death and failure are one and the same, and a pessimistic outlook on life can cause someone to fail, but thankfully not everyone falls victim to these. Failure is always controversial, because people view things and events differently. As Elaine Maxewell once said, “My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.”

  • The Theme of Failure as Presented in Das Boot

    1015 Words  | 3 Pages

    "When 'Das Boot' was first released in the United States, its running time was 145 minutes, and it won huge audiences and no less that six Oscar nominations-unheard of for a foreign film." The genius of Wolfgang Petersen's "Das Boot" is that to Americans it is considered a foreign film indeed; not only in the sense that the film is from Germany, but because the film offers a unique perspective of World War Two, the German perspective. This point of view allows American audiences to walk away from theaters and be impacted by themes which are common in the cinematic industry. However, because the film is the story of a German submarine, the effect is different than anything American audiences have previously experienced. One of these themes is failure. "Das Boot" presents German forces as being able to overcome failure in a victorious manner, while the Allies are shown to be a rather unsuccessful military force.

    Success and failure seem to be pretty distinct opposites, but many times the differences between success and failure aren’t as obvious as we may think them to be. Sometimes a failure can be turned into a success if you are willing to look back at them, and are open to learning from them. Many times, one’s attitude toward a failure can determine whether or not anything is learned from it. Those who remain upbeat and positive after a failure may be able to get something out of it, but those who just don’t think about it and ignore it won’t get anything from it.
