Failure
Failure is something that is very hard to accept especially if you are the decision maker. You always want to give your one best last shot before acceding to it especially when you have been working on something for a long time.
I have seen many software projects in big companies which have failed after years and years of hard work. The decision makers try to push the limit until it really begins to bite them. Finally they accede to failure. I guess a good manager will be able to for see such failure during planning phase of the project. But unless he is heard, he will just have to follow his orders and be a part of failure. If he is smart he’ll move on to something else and not be a part of it.
Sometimes acceptance of failure has a very positive effect and helps you move on. I once met a person who got let go from his job because of his bad performance in the job. He said that it was the best thing that happened to him since he was able to find something that he really enjoys doing now. I guess he accepted his failure in whatever he was doing and moved on.
What do you think?

I have heard that - Failures make us strong and keep us humble. To err is human...I can not believe there is someone out there that says they are always successful. Sometimes, failures make us enjoy successes even more because we know how it hurts to fail. We even enjoy the achievement better. The experience of a failure is probably more valuable than the experience of a success.
I have no problems in admitting if i'm wrong. I believe that it will only help in finding a better solution. and i would rather be a part of the better solution than the failure.
I really liked ur friend's attitude. He accepted his failure to move on to something he really enjoys doing. I hope everyone in this world was like ur friend. The world would have been a better place then.
You are right Umesh. The world would have be a much better place.
true but many people struggle with pride, one of the most common vices, in which case it's hard to come to terms with failure, especially in the "choleric" tpye personality
