When Things Go Wrong

When things go wrong what do you do? Do you give up, do you wait for someone to help you out, do you move on to something new or do you get back up off the ground? I hope that all of you thought that getting up off the ground was the best choice because it is! Henry Ford said that "Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently."

He is right and he proved to the world that he was right. I often feel that failure cannot be overcome, that I am at the end of my rope or that this is the last straw but so many individuals in the world prove me wrong. Dr. Deshpande in his interview on acton.org talks of when he failed and how he overcame it. He said that "when things go wrong, it's not the end of the world but it allows you to become more comfortable in environments that are harsher". It expands your comfort zone and i have really come to learn that there is no growth in a comfort zone. Dr. Deshpande came to America from India with $8 in his pocket and has over a life time created many great businesses. His trick was optimism!
