What If You Knew Failure Was Impossible

What If You Knew Failure Was Impossible

By Ibe

Imagine you've always wanted to be a Music Star but the only little problem is that you couldn't sing to save your life. And all you had going for you was a strong drive and passion. If you could afford it, wouldn't you do all it took; voice coaching, the best producers, radical publicity and even auto tunes (yes, that's all we hear now) to make it happen?

 Then again imagine, you didn't even need to do all that because failure was not possible. Wouldn't your songs (awful or not) be on every lip?

For me, if I knew I could never fail, hmmn ... I would start getting ready to pick a candidacy form for the presidency by 2015. Of course that's after I've had dinner with America's President Obama and had that long awaited trip to the Seychelles. And yes, visiting the moon (what's there anyway?)

Here's my point, for all of you who have real talents, skills or abilities, add real passion to it, do something about it. Afterall, it's in really trying that you'll discover if it's possible or not, right? Think back on a time when you had to succeed because the stakes were so high and somehow you achieved, what, at the beginning, seemed impossible.

So when next you are asked to be more realistic, ask yourself if there's any truth to it but better still, ask - what if failure was impossible?

  3. MY SISTER, EVEN WHEN FAILURE IS IMPOSSIBLE, I THINK THE BEST THING IS TO PREPARE HEAVILY THE IMPOSSIBLE FAILURE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PROPHET OF ISLAM(PEACE BE UNTO HIM) KNOWS WITH 100% CERTAINTY THAT HEAVEN IS CONFIRMED, HE PRAYED ALL DAYS AND NIGHT TO SEEK FOR HEAVEN. ABRAHAM (PEACE BE UNTO HIM) RECEIVED GLAD TIDING ABOUT HIS LONG AWAITING CHILD, YET HE STILL SUPPLICATE TO HIS LORD AND LATER COME TO PAST.
    MY SISTER, WHAT AM SAYING IN ESSENCE IS THAT EVEN WHEN SUCCESS IS ASCERTAIN, YOU STILL NEED TO BE FOCUS, COMMITTED AND PRAYERFUL.
    SUCCESS DON'T ALWAYS COME EASY, ITS REQUIRE PERSISTED HARD-WORK AND UNRELENTING PRAYER EVEN WHEN FAILURE IS IMPOSSIBLE.
