"Politics is not my cup of tea, so I quit it." That's what one of the most successful actors from Bollywood said, accepting his failure in public.
I'm talking about Amitabh Bachchan, the actor who completely mesmerized a whole generation while achieving what very few can even dream of.
A hugely successful professional from Indian film industry but a miserable failure in the game of politics, he is. Why he failed to prove himself as a successful political leader is not what I'm interested in, but his ability to accept that fact is what I'm trying to highlight.
"Failure is the pillar of success," the proverb sounds highly inspirational but very few would realize how conditional is that message. What I mean is, not everything is everyone's cup of tea.
Putting in your best efforts, while fighting against unrelenting agonies from repeated failures, even for several years, may not fly you to the dreamland of success unless you are standing on the right platform.
Quitting wrong platforms as soon as possible and honestly accepting the failure, and Identifying the right platform and sticking onto it -- can make your success journey less painful, and rewarding as well.
Practically speaking, if you have a choice then it may sound realistic. However, even if you don't have a choice right now, why don't you create one? Who is preventing you from finding out the platform that suits you best?
I think, you yourself! Because you are afraid of the dangers from unexplored terrains of life. So you decide to continue fighting a battle that you can never win, and keep blaming destiny for your failure.
Better don't, rather, the moment you feel and also get convinced that you're fighting a battle that you don't deserve to win, don't feel shy to give up and start afresh in a different battleground.
Accepting your imperfections and nurturing your strengths that would match minimum requirements of a particular strategy, is undoubtedly a match-winning combination in the game of life.
