[Thinking about failure]

[Thinking about failure]

A few years ago, sharing experiences of failure was a trend in the industry.

It was so popular that there were even conferences where they shared their failure stories on social media like the Ice Bucket Challenge, or even appeared as speakers one by one to share their failure stories. The purpose must have been to give comfort and courage to businessmen who are living a combative life by sharing difficult experiences.

One of the most memorable stories of failure I heard at that time.
It was about a businessman who had a bad plan and wandered around because his promise to receive a big investment was canceled, and when asked, "What is the biggest failure in your life," an old businessman answered.  

That's right. The reason why the failure story was so memorable to me was not because it was too great a failure, but because it was too nothing. 'Even something like that could be the worst failure of life for someone.' That's what I thought.

I've asked the same question in private with a pretty famous artist.

"What's the most memorable experience of failure?"

He said the biggest failure in his life was to fail the college entrance exam, after a long thought. He was over 60, and I felt similar feelings at that time.

What is the criterion for failure.
I think it's a failure from some point to some point.

Pain depends on the individual. It may not be easy to cut because it is relative to the time.

Assuming that there is a level from negative to positive in life, and there is a state from positive to more positive, what happens with positive is difficult to see as a failure. At least, I think it is an experience that you should be careful to share with others. It is more of an experimental experience than a failure.  

Most of the people I actually met who went through what could be called "failure" were negative bases themselves, and they went from negative to negative to negative. On the surface, it looks like they're standing on the ground just like us, but under their feet, things like sweet potato stems are actually hanging and pulling them to the floor.  
  
They are usually in a state of helplessness. There is nothing they can do and no one to help. There are few people who can do anything but endure and live on their own, and what they long for was not achievement or development, but just owning the daily life.  

In my life, I had experiences that could be called failures in business and personally. However, when I think of the faces of people who have experienced things that deserve to be called 'real failures', it was a picnic-like experience to call them failures.  

So if someone asks me if I've ever failed, I say it doesn't happen. There are a lot of lucky people around and they are in a great environment, so they are living flat. They say that there were ups and downs in their business and careers, but there was nothing particularly difficult. And that's true.

I don't think it's a good thing to share failures.
It's not a good thing to get comfort from other people's pain.
I also don't sympathize with the saying that sharing pain is half.

Rather, what should be careful is that you are so rich that you want to shop around and show off your poverty and pain.

The end.
