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.

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 ...

നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട സ്വപ്നങ്ങൾ

 ഉറക്കം നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട്  രാത്രി അയാൾ ഉണർന്നു. വർഷങ്ങൾക്കു ശേഷ താൻ ഒരു സ്വപ്നം കണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു. ചുറ്റും തുറന്ന് കിടന്നിരുന്ന പുസ്തകങ്ങളും കടലാസു കഷണങ്ങളും, അങ്ങിങ്ങായി എറിഞ്ഞിട്ടിരുന്ന വസ്ത്രങ്ങളും എല്ലാമായി ആകെ അലങ്കോലമായിരുന്നു അയാളുടെ മുറി. അതേ പോലെ അലങ്കോലം ആയിരുന്നു അയാളുടെ മനസ്സിലെ ചിന്തകളും. വേണ്ട എന്ന് പലതവണ വെച്ചിട്ടും അയാൾക്ക് അവളെ മനസ്സിൽ നിന്നും പറിച്ചെറിയാൻ സാധിച്ചിരുന്നില്ല. പലതും അയാൾ പരീക്ഷിച്ചു നോക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട് പക്ഷേ ഫലിച്ചില്ല. ഒടുവിൽ എങ്ങനെയൊക്കെയോ അവളെ മറികടന്നു എന്ന് ചിന്തിച്ചിരിക്കുമ്പോലാണ് സ്വപ്നത്തിലൂടെ ഒരിക്കൽ കൂടി അവൾ അയാളെ പരാജയപ്പെടുത്തുന്നത്.  ക്ലാസ്മുറിയുടെ ലാസ്റ്റ് ബെഞ്ചിൽ ഇരിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു അയാൾ. അന്നാദ്യമായി അവളും ലാസ്റ്റ് ബെഞ്ചിൽ ഇരുന്നു.  അവളുടെ കണ്ണുളകൾ അയാളെ എന്നും ആകർഷിച്ചിരുന്നു. കുസൃതി ഒളിപ്പിച്ചു വെച്ച് പുഞ്ചിരിക്കുന്ന പോലുള്ള അവളുടെ ആ നോട്ടം അത് എന്നും അയാളിൽ വികാരങ്ങളെ ഉണർത്തി. അവളോട് തന്റെ  മനസ്സിലുള്ളതെല്ലാം അയാൾ തുറന്നു പറഞ്ഞിരുന്നെങ്കിലും അവൾക്ക് അയാളെ അങ്ങനെ സങ്കൽപ്പിക്കാൻ ആയിരുന്നില്ല ഇല്ല. ക്രിസ്മസ് ഫ്രണ്ട് ആയി അവളെ ...
