Yes. I have failed myself.
Before writing anything, I want you to know the difference among - Success, Failure and Satisfaction.
Let’s say, you have an exam for Mathematics. Full marks: 100, Pass Marks: 40.
But, according to your preparation you are sure about getting 90+.
Result declared, and you got 70.
Is it a failure? No. It isn’t. You have successfully crossed the cut off.
Is it a success? No. It isn’t. Your aim was 90+. Your preparation was not enough to cross the threshold.
Satisfaction, people will say that you should be satisfied with your marks(70). It is more than enough looking at passing marks. They will compare you to people who failed. And they will tell you that you are fortunate enough and should be thankful to God for what you’ve scored in exam.
Exactly same thing happens in life.
May be you are not a failure because you have crossed the cut off set by the world (a job, a flat, a car, family) but ask yourself. Is that it? Was that the only dream you had since your childhood?
People will remind you that you should be satisfied with what you have in your life because many people don’t even have this much. Most people listen to these people and forget their 90+ aim and get comfortable with 70.
Yes, I have failed myself. But I haven’t surrendered yet.
And one more thing, don’t forget while pursuing your dream - If you fail, you still have something to live with, most people don’t even have these. At least, you tried.
对,我失败了。
在写任何东西之前,我想让你知道成功、失败和满足之间的区别。
比如说,数学考试,满分:100分,及格:40分。
但是,根据你的准备,你肯定会得到90+。
结果公布了,你得到70分。
这是失败吗?不,不是。你成功地越过了及格线。
它成功了吗?不,没有。你的目标是90+。你的准备不足以跨过门槛。
满意,人们会说你应该对自己的分数感到满意(70)。看及格分数就足够了。他们会把你比作失败的人。他们会告诉你们,你们很幸运,应该为你们在考试中取得的成绩感谢上帝。
生活中也会发生同样的事情。
也许你不是一个失败者,因为你已经越过了世界设定的界限(一份工作、一套公寓、一辆汽车、一个家庭),但是问问你自己,是这样吗?那是你自童年以来唯一的梦想吗?
人们会提醒你,你应该对你生活中所拥有的感到满意,因为很多人甚至没有这么多。大多数人听了这些人的话,忘记了他们90岁以上的目标,对70岁感到舒服。
是的,我自己也失败了。但我还没有投降。
还有一件事,在追求梦想的过程中不要忘记—如果你失败了,你还有一些东西可以带着生活,大多数人甚至没有这些。至少你试过了。

The failure story..7/10/16
We had already travelled 14 km uphill to reach the famous place in the Great Himalayas, Harkidoon. We had started trekking at 7 am and reached there at 1 pm. The beauty of the place, Jaundhar glacier and Swargarohini peak surrounding the river which flows to make Tons, brought smile to all the tired faces.
We were hungry and lunch was ready. Sitting in the lap of the snow covered, the rice and daal tasted better than the world famous cuisines.
I asked myself about the idea of moving a bit ahead and touching the snow. I felt elated and asked guide and local people about the chances of reaching there. They denied it in unison. They said it seems near but its actually very far- nearly 20 km . But I couldn't believe them. One person tried to console me by stressing on his answer, being local . The other tried to challenge me and betted to touch my feet if I could do that.
I still wanted to go there. I couldn't believe it being so far. I asked the guide whether he would come with me or not. He accepted but said that we wont reach even half of the path.
I took two chocolates, one packet of cashews, umbrella, torch and left for the glacier. In hurry, I even forgot to take a water bottle with me.
I started at 2pm, had to come back by 6pm which means just two hours to move forward in unknown terrain.
失败的故事:2016年7月10日
我们已经上山14公里到达了喜马拉雅山著名景点:Harkidoon。我们早上7点开始徒步旅行,下午1点到达那里。这个美丽的地方,Jaundhar冰川和Swargarohini 高峰环绕着这条河,这条河的流量达数吨,给所有疲惫的面孔带来了微笑。
我们饿了,吃准备好的午饭。坐在被白雪覆盖的地上,米饭和扁豆的味道比世界著名的菜肴要好。
我问自己,有没有想过摸着雪往前走一点。我兴高采烈的向导游和当地人询问到达那里的机会。他们一致否认了这一点。他们说它看起来很近,但实际上很远—将近20公里。但我不相信他们。一个人试图通过强调他的答案来说服我,他的回答本土化。另一个人试图挑战我,打赌说如果我能到那就给我按摩脚。
我还是想去那里。真不敢相信这么远。我问导游他是否愿意和我一起去。他接受了,但说我们连一半的路都走不到。
我带了两块巧克力,一包腰果,雨伞,手电筒,去了冰川。匆忙中,我甚至忘了带水瓶。
我在下午2点出发,必须在下午6点前回来,这意味着未知的地形中前行而且只有两个小时的时间。

Even we already had a long run since morning, we were running like fresh souls on the mission. I only had the hope and a challenge. We crossed the valley and had to cross the fast flowing river in order to reach that snowy mountain. But We tried but the rapids and depth of the river brought us on back foot.
We moved ahead. The thornes and bushes were the new way for us. we were penetrating that like anything. I don't know how many thornes paved their way into me. But we didn't stop. We again tried to cross river in upstream but again failed.
Now came the rocks. The huge ones. We had to climb on one and jump to the other. I fell down at least 8 times. My shoes were wet and I was slipping at every next step. At one time, I missed the next stone while trying to cross the river and my legs were in the river. It was the grasses which I held to save myself from drowning.
I could see the mountain in front of me but gradually, the clouds were covering it.
But rocks were becoming larger in size. And at that time, suddenly, we saw the fresh defecation of the bear which gave us the indication of it being in any of the nearby caves.
My motivation was already on decline after being just surviving a fall in the rapid of the river and this gave me a serious blow but guide told me that I had done hell better than many trekking experts as we already covered 6 km in this tough terrain. So I reluctantly moved ahead. The clouds were approaching faster than we were racing towards mountain. We tried to cross river again, this time the 10th attempt, but again failed. We had started whistling and took stick in hand to avoid conflict with the bear.
即使从早上开始我们已经跑了很长一段路,我们也像新的灵魂一样在执行任务。我只有希望和挑战。我们穿过山谷,必须穿过湍急的河流才能到达那座雪山。但我们试过了,但急流和河水的深度使我们后退了。
我们继续前进。荆棘和灌木丛是我们新的障碍。我们像能穿透任何东西一样穿过了该处。我不知道有多少荆棘刺进了我的身体。但我们没有停止。我们试图在上游过河,但再次失败。
现在又面临巨大的岩石。我们不得不爬上一个,在跳到另一个。至少摔倒了8次。我的鞋子湿了,每走一步我都会滑倒。有一次,我试图过河时错过了踏空一块石头,我的腿踩在河里。我抱着草,以免淹死。
我可以看到前面的山,但渐渐地,云层遮住了它。
但岩石的尺寸越来越大。在那个时候,突然,我们看到熊的新粪便,这给了我们它在附近存在洞穴的迹象。
我刚从急流中跌落下来,我的动力就开始下降,这给了我一个沉重的打击,但导游告诉我,我比许多徒步专家做得更好,因为我们已经在这片崎岖的地形上走了6公里。所以我不情愿地往前走。云层逼近的速度比我们向山奔去的速度快。我们再次试图过河,这次是第10次,但再次失败。我们开始吹口哨,手里拿着棍子以避免和熊发生冲突。

It was at this time, when guide told me that he will not put his life in danger as he has four daughters to look after, I realized that we are in real danger. We were still on the move when I slipped again.
And at this time, I stood up, looked at the snow, closed my eyes. The whole life revolved in a second. My achievements, family, villages, failures- everything was clearly visible to me.
I told guide to stop. Yes, we finally stopped. The fast flowing river was chuckling, the clouds were laughing and the glacier was silent. I got the indications of my failure.
Even knowing that bear threat is still on, I sat there on the rock and talked to the guide. About his life, his daughters, his future plans, his relatives who lost their lives in mountains and to the animals. I realized how minute and negligible we are in front of the nature. In the race of proving something in front of some foolish people, we are losing.
Then we turned back. We had covered 7 km approx and were just 4km away and had suitable time in hand. We just couldn't cross the river and the fear of bear.
In mountains, every decision which brings you back alive is called the “common sense”. I don't know how far could I go to come back and tell this story. I don't know if I lost my courage or stamina. I don't know if I will be able to do it again. What I know is the failure teaches us a lot.
就在这个时候,当向导告诉我他不会把自己的生命置于危险之中,因为他有四个女儿要照顾时,我意识到我们正处于真正的危险之中。当我再次滑倒时,我们还在移动。
这时,我站起来,看着雪,闭上了眼睛。整个人生转瞬即逝。我的成就、家庭、村庄、失败—一切都清晰可见。
我叫导游停下来。是的,我们终于停下来了。湍急的河流在咯咯地笑,云朵在笑,冰川沉寂。我得到了失败的迹象。
即使知道熊的威胁还在,我还是坐在岩石上和导游交谈。关于他的生活,他的女儿们,他的未来计划,他的亲戚们丧生在山区和动物手里。我意识到我们在大自然面前是多么渺小和微不足道。在一些愚蠢的人面前证明某些东西的竞赛中,我们输了。
然后我们转身回去。我们大约走了7公里,离这里只有4公里,其实时间足够。我们就是不能过河,其次害怕熊。
在山区,每一个让你活着回来的决定都被称为“常识”。我不知道我还能走多远才能回来讲述这个故事。我不知道我是否失去了勇气或耐力。我不知道我是否还能再做一次。我所知道的是失败教会了我们很多。

Next day, I trekked for another 27 km and in total, 52km in 2 days.
I failed but I am back, thus I had the “common sense”.
第二天,我又走了27公里,2天总共走了52公里。
我失败了,但我回来了,所以我有了“常识”。

I was an average student throughout my life.
I couldn’t clear the IIT entrance exam (failure) so, I did my electronics engineering from a Tier 3 college. I sat in the placement drive, got sexted in TCS but declined the offer.
I started my start-up along with my cousins and it was about making websites and apps for our clients. Our main motive was to bring the offline market to the online platform and to target the big businesses which were not operating online.
The idea was pretty good and we executed it well. I was taking care of Operations & Marketing. We were doing great and gradually, we even moved into organizing workshops, seminars in schools & colleges on the web development etc.
Something went wrong and we all split up.
I thought about pursuing a master’s degree and that too in abroad. I thought why not give it a try. I found out European countries were offering a master’s degree with no tuition fee. But I couldn’t afford the cost of living. I also tried applying to the US but again I faced the harsh reality of not having proper funds to support my education.
I didn’t have a great Academic record which could land me a full scholarship and I knew that my father couldn’t manage to spend 30–40 Lakhs for my masters.
I almost wasted a year struggling, asking favors, applying to different foreign universities,
technically shooting in the dark without proper guidance.
This was more like a desperate attempt to escape reality.
我一生都是一个普通的学生。
我无法通过印度理工学院的入学考试(失败),因此,我在一所三级学院学习电子工程。我参加了实习活动,我被塔塔咨询服务公司拒绝了。
我和我的堂兄弟们一起创办了家公司,主要是为我们的客户制作网站和应用程序。我们的主要动机是将线下市场引入在线平台,并瞄准非在线运营的大企业。
这个主意很好,我们执行得很好。我负责运营和营销。我们做得很好,而且逐渐地,我们甚至开始在学校组织关于网络开发的研讨会等。
随后出了点问题而导致我们都散伙了。
我想去国外攻读硕士学位。我想为什么不试试呢。我发现欧洲国家提供的硕士学位是免费的。但是我付不起生活费。我也曾尝试申请美国,但我再次面临严峻的现实,没有适当的资金支持我接受教育。
我没有一个好的学习成绩可以让我获得全额奖学金,我知道我父亲不可能为我的硕士学位花费30-40万英镑。
我几乎浪费了一年的时间,苦苦挣扎,寻求帮助,申请不同的外国大学,
从技术上讲,是在没有适当指导的情况下在黑暗中瞎撞。
这更像是逃避现实的绝望尝试。

One day I got a call from my cousin that there was a new tech start-up and they wanted me to join their team. As I was already fed up so, I just packed my bag and left my home and moved to Gurgaon with 200 Rs in my pocket.
I was living on a 20 Rs “chole bhature” ( Indian dish) plate for a month and it made me realize the value of money.
Luckily, I joined the tech Start-up where I started working. I borrowed money from my cousin to eat every day around 3 pm and survived.
I remember when I got paid, the first thing I bought was a cotton mattress for Rs 600, a pillow for Rs 100. That night I slept peacefully.
My family didn’t know about my condition. Whenever my mom called, I used to lie about my living condition and always told her that I was fine. I will never forget those days which taught me the value of money and food.
I started writing on Quora but failed to be a Top writer despite writing good answers. I failed to gain Upvotes and views on my answers.
I failed to get my work published. I failed to get recognized.
But I never gave up!
有一天,我接到表弟的电话,说有一家新的科技公司,他们想让我加入他们的团队。因为我已经受够了,所以我就打包离开了家,带着200卢比搬到了古尔冈。
我吃了一个月20卢比的印度菜,这让我意识到了钱的价值。
幸运的是,我加入了科技初创公司。我每天下午3点左右从表哥那里借钱吃饭,于是活了下来。
我记得当我拿到工资时,我买的第一件东西是600卢比的棉床垫,100卢比的枕头。那天晚上我睡得很安详。
我的家人不知道我的情况。每当我妈妈打电话来,我总是谎报我的生活状况,总是告诉她我很好。我永远不会忘记那些教会我金钱和食物价值的日子。
我开始在Quora上写作,但尽管写出了不错的答案,却没能成为一名优秀作家。我的答案没有获得支持和意见。
我的作品没能出版,我没被认出来。
但我从未放弃!

I still write on Quora, I am still working on my books and working on my ideas.
Started from nothing, joined a Startup, then Zomato and I reached up to becoming a Business manager for a corporate firm.
Result - Successful.
Today whatever I am, it’s all because I conquered my fear of failure by failing multiple times.
I took a decision to go beyond my failures. I might not be the CEO of a big company but honestly, whatever I am today, I feel I have achieved something in my life and on my own.
I am planning and working on a couple of more ideas and will probably start a couple of business ventures soon.
I have experience in FMCG and I know the loopholes, I have a pretty good understanding of web development, digital marketing, and data analysis.
I am also learning Accounting, taxes and laws and their loopholes.
Why?
Because this is all going to help me in my upcoming ventures.
I am no longer afraid of failure and this is the biggest thing I learned.
Failure changed my life.
我仍然在写Quora,我仍然在写我的书和我的想法。
从无到有,加入了一家初创公司,然后我和佐马托开始合作创办一家公司。
结果成功了。
今天,无论我是谁,这都是因为我通过多次失败克服了对失败的恐惧换来的。
我决定超越我的失败。我可能不能胜任一家大公司的首席执行官,但老实说,无论我现在是什么样的人,我都觉得自己在生活中取得了一些成就。
我正在计划和研究更多的想法,可能很快就会开始一些商业冒险。
我有快速消费品的经验,我知道其中的漏洞,我对网络开发、数字营销和数据分析有很好的理解。
我也在学习会计、税收和法律以及它们的漏洞。
为什么?
因为这些都会在我即将到来的冒险中帮助我。
我不再害怕失败,这是我学到的最大的东西。
失败改变了我的生活。
Started from nothing, joined a Startup, then Zomato and I reached up to becoming a Business manager for a corporate firm.
Result - Successful.
Today whatever I am, it’s all because I conquered my fear of failure by failing multiple times.
I took a decision to go beyond my failures. I might not be the CEO of a big company but honestly, whatever I am today, I feel I have achieved something in my life and on my own.
I am planning and working on a couple of more ideas and will probably start a couple of business ventures soon.
I have experience in FMCG and I know the loopholes, I have a pretty good understanding of web development, digital marketing, and data analysis.
I am also learning Accounting, taxes and laws and their loopholes.
Why?
Because this is all going to help me in my upcoming ventures.
I am no longer afraid of failure and this is the biggest thing I learned.
Failure changed my life.
我仍然在写Quora,我仍然在写我的书和我的想法。

I have failed at a lot of things, but I am going to tell you about the most significant one of them.
I started working on a startup idea of my own in my 3rd year of college. Soon, one of my really good friends became very interested in the idea, and started working on it along with me.
We were working tirelessly day and night, bunking all our classes. In less than a month, we completed all the basic features of our website and were ready to tell the world about our platform.
Over the next 2 months, two more members joined our team, and we added lots of new features to our platform, re-structuring and shaping our original idea as we moved forward.
This was when I made my first mistake. Over the recent days, I had been getting a feeling that my friend (the first one to join) was not giving his 100% into the startup. I did not confront him immediately, and let the frustration build up inside me. One day, I removed all my frustration on him by criticizing his work and disrespecting him.
This seemed to have a drastic effect on him. It was as if someone (me) had just turned off a switch inside him. He stopped working with us.
I had failed to be a good teammate, co-founder and friend.
我在很多事情上都失败了,但我要告诉你其中最重要的一件事。
我在大学三年级时就开始构思自己的创业计划。很快,我的一位真正的好朋友对这个想法非常感兴趣,并开始和我一起努力。
我们日夜孜孜不倦地工作,上课过程都在睡觉。在不到一个月的时间里,我们完成了网站的所有基本功能,并准备向全世界介绍我们的平台。
在接下来的两个月里,又有两名成员加入了我们的团队,我们为我们的平台添加了许多新功能,在前进的过程中重新构建和塑造了我们最初的想法。
这是我犯下第一个错误的时候。最近几天,我一直觉得我的朋友(第一个加入的人)并没有百分之百地投入创业。我没有立即与他对话,而是让挫折感在我内心积聚起来。有一天,我通过批评他的工作和不尊重他来表露出对他的失望。
这似乎对他产生了巨大的影响。就好像有人(我)刚刚关掉了他体内的一个开关。他不再和我们一起工作了。
我没能成为一个好的队友、联合创始人和朋友。

The three of us still continued working. Two us were working tirelessly, but the third one seemed to have lost interest. His contributions were decreasing day by day. I confronted him immediately and spoke nicely, so as to not repeat the mistake I had made in the past. He had in fact lost interest, and decided to leave too. I did not say anything and let him leave.
I had failed to motivate my team.
Now, there were just the two of us left. We stared working harder than before. Our user base started increasing, and the users seemed to like our product. We were giving a lot of incentives then to attract users, spending about 10 times of what we were earning.
One day, we decided that we could not sustain so many incentives in the long run, and cut them drastically.
Users started leaving, and we no longer had the crowd we had before. My only partner lost his motivation and left.
I was now left alone. But I decided that I will continue working and try to make things work. I introduced some more new features on the platform and adjusted the revenue model. Nothing paid off. The users did not return, and the platform remained deserted. I finally decided to give up.
I had failed to sustain my idea.
Now when I think about it, I sometimes feel I should have tried more before quitting.
I tried only 10 different things when I could easily have tried a 100, out of the available 1000.
P.S. The first guy and me are still great friends, roommates in fact. He is going to be one of the first people to upvote this answer. ;)
我们三个人仍在继续工作。我们中两个人不知疲倦地工作着,但第三个人似乎已经失去了兴趣。他的贡献日益减少。我立即与他谈话,说得很好听,以免重蹈覆辙。事实上,他已经失去了兴趣,也决定离开。我什么也没说就让他走了。
我没能激励我的团队。
现在,只剩下我们两个人了。我们开始比以前更加努力地工作。我们的用户群开始增加,用户似乎喜欢我们的产品。当时,为了吸引用户,我们提供了很多激励措施,花费大约是我们收入的10倍。
从长远来看,我们无法维持这么多的激励措施,有一天,我们决定大幅削减了它们。
用户开始离开,我们不再有以前的人群了。我唯一的搭档失去了动力,离开了。
现在只剩下我一个人了。但我决定继续工作,努力使事情顺利进行。我在平台上引入了一些新功能,并调整了收入模式。没有任何回报。用户没有返回,仍然无人使用平台。我最终决定放弃。
我未能坚持我的想法。
现在,当我想起来的时候,我有时觉得我应该在多尝试一些。
我只尝试了10种不同的方法,而我本可以轻易地在1000种方法中尝试100种。
另外,第一个人和我仍然是很好的朋友,事实上是室友。事实上,他会是第一个为这个答案点赞的人。

I failed all the internal exams for 6 semesters of my B Tech from my second year till final year. Somehow I was not bothered or never took interest in learning anything .
Unlike motivational fairy tales nothing happened in final year either. I managed to pass B Tech pretty low level and failed at every interview I gave. It took one year for me to realize and fix (to some extent) my laziness and carefree attitude.
Failures upon failures, no point in articulating them with sugar coated quotes like “Failure is only when you accept it” (Laughing out loud)
从第二年到最后一年,我的理工学士学位的六个学期的所有内部考试科目都不及格。不知何故,我并不烦恼,也从未对学习任何东西感兴趣。
和励志童话不同的是,最后一年也没有发生任何事情。我设法通过了相当低的B级技术考试,但每次面试都失败了。我花了一年时间才意识到并在某种程度上纠正了我的懒惰和无所谓的态度。
一次又一次的失败,用糖衣裹着的名言“只有当你接受失败的时候才会失败”(大声笑)是没有意义的。

Prachi Sinha, Made a day memorable for parents!
Thanks Dibakar Dutta for asking this question and letting me introspect myself a little more.
Yeah, I failed at many things.
I remember in class 11th, the Physics paper was set very tough. I could hardly write any answer. I knew I was going to fail. The whole class was cheating. I gathered courage and murmured a question number to the person sitting in front of me. In no time he threw a paper on my desk. I remember my heart pounding when he did that. I asked him to take it away immediately. Wrote whatever I could and submitted the paper. Failed in cheating, consecutively failed in exam as well.
感谢Dibakar Dutta提出这个问题,让我多反思一下自己。
是的,我在很多事情上都失败了。
我记得在11班,物理试卷很难。我几乎写不出任何答案。我知道我会失败。全班都在作弊。我鼓起勇气,向坐在我前面的人低声说出了一个问号。他很快就把一张纸扔到了我的桌子上。我记得他那样做时我的心怦怦直跳。我叫他马上把它拿走。写了我能写的答案并提交了论文。作弊不成功,考试连续不及格。

Yes, I have failed in many things in life but I never gave up on anything till now.
I failed in NEET,I thought that my life was almost over but my motto was “never let it go”. My tagline is similar to NIKE’s “just do it”
I failed in maintaining Friendships. I have had issues with my close friend but I am trying to rebuild it.
I’ve failed in attracting a single girl towards me because I am average in everything.
是的,我在生活中的许多事情上都失败了,但我到现在为止从未放弃过任何事情。
我在NEET考试中失败了,我以为我的人生就要结束了,但我的座右铭是“永不放弃”。我的口号类似于耐克的“just do it”
我没能维持友谊。我和我的密友发生过一些问题,但我正在努力重建它。
我没能吸引到一个女孩,因为我在所有方面都很普通。
