Dear Friend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our lives are filled with emotions of all sorts. In fact, they are\nso powerful that they determine our professional output as well. Have you ever\nwondered why you are not able to concentrate on studies or on your job when you\nare going through a tough phase of your life ? All this is because no matter\nhow hard you try, your personal life would always have an impact on your\nprofessional life and vice versa. I am in no way implying that a person must be\nemotionless for achieving success. After all, emotions drive a man\u2019s hunger for\nsuccess. However, if left uncontrolled, emotions have the capacity to hurt a\nperson\u2019s progress as well. One of the problems with emotions is that the\nnegative emotions are extremely overwhelming while the positive emotions are\nusually short-lived. You would have experienced it for yourself\u2014a good news\ncheers you up for a few minutes or hours but a bad news can turn your mood\ngloomy for several days, if not weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Alva Edison, one of the greatest inventors, is credited with developing
a number of devices in fields like electric power generation. He is known for
his indomitable spirit and perseverance. <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thus, it is extremely important to have an ability to handle\ndisappointment in one aspect of your life without letting it impact the other\naspect of your life. Disappointment is an emotion that many of us have a\ndifficult time in understanding and managing. However, handling disappointment\nis easier said than done. The very first step to overcome your disappointment\nis to admit it honestly and openly. Just hiding your disappointment is not\ngoing to make it go away. Rather, question yourself why you are disappointed\nand what the outcome was that you were hoping for in this situation. Were your\nexpectations too high or was your outcome too low? It is extremely important to\nask yourself these questions if you do not want to repeat this situation. For\ninstance, if your aim was to push the wall back through your efforts and you\nare disappointed because you could not do it, your mistake lies in your\nexpectations and not in your efforts. Thus, identify where you went wrong in\norder to correct that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bigger the goal you are aiming for, the more efforts and\nintermittent disappointments it would take to reach that ultimate goal. If you\nare planning to reach Mars, you should be ready to face certain failures in the\nprocess. In order to succeed spectacularly, you must be willing to fail\nspectacularly. It was more than 30 years after Gandhiji\u2019s arrival in India that\nwe managed to finally attain independence. In his fight against the British\nrule, he faced a number of failures, from Non-Cooperation Movement to the Civil\nDisobedience Movement and the innumerable hunger strikes he kept; none of them\nwere able to fetch complete independence for India. However, he never lost hope\nbecause he had his eyes set on the bigger goal and was aware that a goal as big\nas getting independence for the country surely requires certain sacrifices. He\nnever let his failures get on his nerves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably the greatest inventor that the world has ever seen,\nThomas Edison had an extraordinarily positive perception of life which helped\nhim work as an inventor. There would have been many inventors in his era who\nwere terribly discouraged after failing multiple times in an attempt to develop\nan electric light, but the great Edison simply viewed each unsuccessful\nexperiment as the elimination of a solution that would not work, thereby moving\nhim much closer to a successful solution. There are some amazing lessons hidden\nin the life of Edison. You can come across hundreds of stories about inventors\nwho quit trying and gave up too soon or miners who struck gold just a few feet\nbeyond where someone else quit digging. When you are discouraged after you have\nfailed at something, remember that the world got an incandescent electric light\nbulb only because Edison did not give up even after 1,000 failures. He knew\nthat every single attempt was only taking him closer to the dream that he had\nbeen after for so many years. If you leave your job half done, you are only\ncreating an easier path for the person trying after you to gain all the glory\nthat you deserved. Thus arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is\nreached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
