SETBACK TO SUCCESS

A study is always a critical observation to get an education about a thing or an event. A study always provokes solution to a problem. Setback is an event but success ought not to be an event. Therefore one of the principal preservative of success would be to study your setback so that you can pave way for your success and sustain it. Success has  diverse perspectives that vary with individuals, also success is attractive and has many friends but unfortunately setback is a repellant and an orphan.

 For me when we study errors we have only increased our capacity to be correct. Success can also be attributed to improving or eliminating setbacks or the evils that the setback  posseses. Setbacks are hitches that prevented the level of success expected in any event or pursuit. Most times our historical data forms basis for present analysis for a clear picture into the future. We think about the future because we want to be more successful than we have been. Therefore we go into a research on what our setbacks have been and retrace out steps hence to improve our performance which can win us the accolade of success.

To me, the study of setback is an education for better performance, more efficient use of resources, better organization and coordination of facts to deter a repeat setback but fashion a real success. When we study setbacks we increase our capacity and eliminate our deficiencies. We contact the facts we ignored initially which necessitated our truncated success. lets see typical examples in our daily life and environment, when a student fails an exam, the genesis of the analysis of his failure would be his setbacks or problem that made him fail, when he knows or identify his problems he begin a journey to correct them thereby paving his way to success. if you are in business and you are losing customer and consequently sales and profit, to be successful you need study issue surrounding low customer retention/customer service excellence and when this is done, you implement corrections and begin to notice gradual improvement in performance. Also great leaders study the pitfalls of others leader to avoid their doom and become more successful. As an individual your strengths increase as you work on your weaknesses.

Setbacks are simply pointers to the areas you need to work on to be more successful than you have been. A major setback in life can be the greatest motivation if thoroughly analyzed to reach the fullest of your potentials. When we study setbacks it gives us an understanding of why people failed, then we take conscious steps to avoid them and we are termed more successful simply because we were better managers of our setbacks.

Things are happening but what has happened requires your attention to determine what will happen next. In essence the study of setbacks paves way for your success.

Cheers and stay alive.
