5 Keadah Mengubah Kegagalan Menjadi Kejayaan

Ramai orang yang bercita-cita tinggi mengharungi kehidupan dengan kegigihan dan impian yang mengagumkan. Namun begitu, mereka tidak berjaya mencapai cita-cita mereka kerana mereka enggan mencuba pendekatan-pendekatan baru.

Ingat, tumpukan pada matlamat kita, jangan sekali-kali berpaling daripadanya. Tetapi jangan 'berdegil' dengan hanya bergantung kepada satu cara sahaja. Apabila pendekatan yang kita gunakan kini tidak mendatangkan hasil yang diharapkan, maka cuba pendekatan-pendekatan baru.

Ia akan membezakan antara kegagalan dan kejayaan dengan 5 cara yang boleh kita gunakan sebagai panduan dalam menempuhi cabaran kehidupan :


1. Gabungkan kegigihan dan kesanggupan mencuba perkara-perkara baru :
Pastikan kita 'setia' pada matlamat kita tetapi jangan hanya 'setia' pada satu cara atau pendekatan. Kita perlu sanggup mencuba cara-cara dan pendekatan baru.

2. Kaji kegagalan yang kita alami :
Belajar daripada kegagalan itu supaya kita boleh berjaya pada lain kesempatan.

3. Kita perlu berani bersikap kritis terhadap diri sendiri :
Kenal pasti kelemahan kita dan ambil langkah-langkah spesifik mengatasinya. Dengan demikian, kita menonjolkan sikap seorang yang professional.

4. Hentikan tabiat suka menyalahkan nasib :
Kaji setiap kegagalan yang kita tempuhi dan kenal pasti punca kegagalan itu.

5. Ingat, setiap yang berlaku ada hikmahnya :
Kenal pasti hikmah setiap cabaran yang mendatang dan luputkan kekececewaan dari ingatan kita.


"Minda kita hanya melihat atau menilai keadaan mengikut apa yang kita mahu lihat. Fokuskan pada aspek positif dan takluki kegagalan."
