Fear And Failure

American President Mr Franklin D Roosevelt once said "The only thing we have to fear is fear". Fear is the feeling of anxiety concerning the outcome of something or the safety of someone or the likelihood of something unwelcome happening. Fear is an unwanted emotion that will let you from thinking clearly and solve issues. Fear is a false anticipation of  something to go wrong.Fear is a necessary evil. Fear often helps you in physical situations  by boosting adrenalin. But in mental and intellectual troubles fear is an adverse factor. When fear is inflicted it reduces your ability to think and lead you by instincts.


Shakespeare in one of his famous dramas said "When you fear a foe, fear crushes your strength ; and this weakness gives strength to your opponents"
 It is same in the case of problems in life. When you begin to fear them they will only grow. But rather when you start to face them you will see they will begin to melt away like ice. There is no life after solving all the things that troubles you. But you must learn to live between them and for that it necessary to overcome fear. A coward dies many a time and the valiant tastes death but only once.


It is you who can set how you can go. To fear means not trusting yourself. If you know your strength then there is no need to fear. You are bound to find  a solution. To overcome fear you have to be dare to do what you fear for. Failure is a virtue as it gives you a new lesson of life. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."said Winston Churchill. Experience is the best teacher. Success is just a pass to the next tier of problems.
Failure is an invitation to compete against yourself.


Thomas Alva Edison the great scientist failed a thousand time while inventing bulb. If he had thought that it was impossible then wouldn't  have a marvelous invention and a scientist. When he was asked about that he said "Every time i failed i found how not to make a bulb". It is his positive that let him to be successful. Every failure is a chance to learn something new. 
I'm sure that it is our attitude towards a problem makes you brave or coward. So is it the complexes or weakness of the human nature or something else cause for fear ?

  1. Nice to see an outspoken blogger. Yes, fear is a terrible deterrent. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "Dictators and bullies ride on the backs of cowards." And this is happening in India now. However, there is hope, it seems.

ഒരു കുളിർമഴ

ഭാരമേറിയൊരു മനുസ്സുമായാണ് കഴിഞ്ഞ കുറെ നാളുകളായി അയാൾ എണീറ്റിരുന്നത്. അന്ന് പള്ളിയിൽ  വെച്ചു അവളെ ആദ്യമായി കണ്ടപ്പോൾ തോന്നാതിരുന്നത് പിന്നീടെപ്പോഴോ എന്തിനോ വേണ്ടി തോന്നി. ഉറക്കപ്പിച്ചിലിരുന്ന ഒരു ക്ലാസ്സ്മുറിയിൽ കൂട്ടുകാരനോട് പറഞ്ഞൊരു കളിവാക്കിൽ നിന്നാണോ, അതോ ഇതിനെല്ലാമപ്പുറം വിധിയുടെ നിയോഗമാണോ, അതോ തനിക്കു എവിടെയെങ്കിലും വീഴ്ച പറ്റിയതോ. എത്രയൊക്കെ വീഴരുതെന്ന് ഓർത്താലും അതിലേക്ക് ആകർഷിക്കുന്ന മായികമായ ഒരു സൗന്ദര്യം ഈ പ്രണയത്തിനുണ്ടായിരിക്കാം. ഒരിക്കൽ പോലും സംസാരിക്കാതെ എങ്ങനെ ഇത്രെയേറെ ആകർഷിക്കപ്പെട്ടു എന്നു അയാൾ തന്നോട് തന്നെ ചോദിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു. പെട്ടന്നാണ് അയാളുടെ മുമ്പിൽ നിന്നിരുന്ന ക്ലർക്കിനെ അയാൾ ശ്രെദ്ധിച്ചത്. അയാൾ കുറേനേരമായി അവിടെത്തന്നെ നിൽപ്പാണ്. താനാണ് അയാളെ ഒരു ഫയൽ എടുക്കാൻ അയച്ചത്‌. അപ്പോൾ  കുറെ നേരമായി താൻ ചിന്തകളിൽ മറഞ്ഞിട്ടു. താൻ അപ്പോൾ ഒരുപാട് കാലം പിന്നിൽ നിന്നാണ് ചിന്തിക്കുന്നത്. ഈ വേദനകൾ തൻറെ കോളേജ് ജീവിതകാലത്തെയാണെന്നു അയാൾക്കു അറിയാമായിരുന്നു. അയാൾ ഒരു ദീര്ഘനിശ്വാസത്തോടെ ആ ഫയലുകൾ മേടിച്ചുവെച്ചു. ഒരു തരത്തിൽ പറഞ്ഞാൽ ഈ ജീവിതമൊരു കുരിശിന്റെ വഴി പോലെയാണെന്ന് അയാ

Parting ways

 "What would you say if I ask you out?" asked him. The question startled her mildly, for she always thought of him as her friend. It was quite unusual of him to ask, she thought.  It was a beautiful day in the park. The sky was blue and the sun shone brightly. Children were playing at distance. They were walking along the pavement, looking at the kids playing.  "Hey," he called her.  "Well hypothetically, I might not create a scene, but I don't want a relationship now." Said she.  It's what he expected all along. For he never wanted to upset her. After all, it's only a miracle if a girl in this world would go out with me, he thought.  She thought, it' s been over a year since I met him. We had a good time. Now he's asking all the wrong questions. He asked few questions. That's what I liked about him.  He came to her asking for a donation to help the homeless while they were in College. A guy like that, smart, charming and witty. He

Life is Not an Easy Business

The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a scientific novella by R L Stevenson which describes a strange thing that a man has dual personalities and that can be choked out by medicine. When i first read the book i find it quite absurd. But later i was astonished to see how one of my friends connected it to our current lives. Dr Jekyll was a talented medical practitioner. When he tried one of his portions he changed to a stout, ugly man who was name Hyde. Jekyll was a man with values and good at heart. But Hyde had a personality as ugly as he was. my friend connected it to the way we act in social media and life. Today in social media we try to make a perfect man, which we want ourselves to be. We act as intellectuals who are ready to change the humankind. But we fail to be the same in life. What we pose in front of the society is what we want to be and not what we are. Seldom the society is reluctant to accept us how we are despite how good you are. A black dot on a white board
