Why We Fear of Failure?
Once there are symptoms in the direction of failure, the individual directly to rack my brain to remove any moment analysis, which is important, regardless of his responsibility to bear the consequences.

We can not turn a blind eye on the number of failures that occur in our midst. Starting from the defeat in the sport of soccer, badminton, until the performance of institutions whose work has not yet been proven success. There are also failures that cause not only significant financial losses, but also the loss of life, such as the bridge collapsed. It is more dangerous even if the impact of failure can not be calculated until the loss financially, but the damage was so real, like the proliferation of corruption up to the younger generation, or the erosion of moral and character education.

With the onslaught of social media today, diatribe when a failure occurs often makes us shudder. Apart from the large-small losses, comments that "sadistic" immediately strikes offender who is in fact doing wrong or stupid. At the company, even within the family had this happen. There are parents who directly punishes children who scored poorly on exams, tests, or pe-ernya. There is also a boss who immediately rewarding errors or omissions with insults, so the actors as if not given a breath, either to give testimony or to defend themselves.

Why We Fear of Failure?

Severity of the penalties for failure to cause the failure can be considered something that is allergic, should not be happening, should not even exist. No wonder we see the flourishing of defensiveness. Once there are symptoms in the direction of failure, individuals have pairs of horses, ready with his index finger to blame someone else. It could also, he racked his brain to theorize at length, removing all the moves analysis, which is important, regardless of the spotlight himself, let alone bear responsibility for the consequences.

Habits to avoid this failure in addition to causing stress, it also eliminates half the opportunity to learn. However, if you think about it, could we learn from the success of it? When we are experiencing a great success, do not we tend not to learn from the situation? We rarely analyze "why the success of this happening?", "What is the dominant factor?", "What actions can we take that success over and over?", Or, "Is it just luck alone?" Meanwhile, if a failure occurs, from laymen to experts, will exert all effort to analyze the cause. Individuals who are wise will immediately think of solutions and corrective actions. So, why are we so afraid of failure?

Approach the failure
The parties in the company's success has been our usual experience. Instead, have we examine how firms respond to failure? Microsoft, the super-company, often "celebrate" a failure, even called a few failures as a "glorious failures". They very clearly understand the source of failure and makes the failure as a springboard to do a "breakthrough".

Actually, even in Parliament itself, we see there is the "hearing" or "hearings" are intended to "hear" what, how, why an event happened, and what is the solution. Thus, the slogan "learning from failure" really we must learn again. The term "success by failure" does exist and is a reality.

A company, even daring to make a "hall of failure" and not "hall of fame" as usual. The background of these companies are very clear thinking. Companies strive for the employees believe that failure is part of the company that wants employees willing to take risks and not haunted by the fear of failure. The company even instructed to include the story of failure and what is learned from these failures, equipped with the signature in question. There are individuals who wrote in the "hall of failure" by saying that after 7 years of trying, he stopped learning to play the violin. "Lesson learned" that he conveyed was that "I would not care about the opinion of people that I could not play music".

This statement, though seemingly irrelevant to the company's business processes, actually instill courage in the individual mentally to be ready to face adversity in any situation. Corporate leaders even said "We do not just Encourage risk-taking at our offices: We demand failure". Progress, innovation, and success is actually easier to learn from the mistakes here and there. Things like this is useful if only our approach to the error is positive, profound, and occupied.

Culture "strongly - weak!"
Developing culture-conscious weaknesses and make the "lessons learnt" as a strength, we can clearly see the sportsman. Rarely sports champions do not learn their weaknesses. Such individuals, grow into a more grounded, critical, fair, and honest, and can see that the reality is painful, but healing will lead to success. Failure should not be something we ratapi, but a way for us to also understand where our strengths, and how failure can be a momentum to bring about improvements.

In a society in which individual diversity is not easily controlled, we do need a leader who exemplifies the attitude of learning from failure, even bringing a failure as a means to develop "trust". We can learn from Japanese and Chinese state leaders when facing a disaster. People immediately have a high respect for the leadership crisis terhadapi way. When faced with an interview, failure that we experienced was in fact not only have to be hidden. If we can discuss how attitudes and "action" us to "bounce back", this could even be our added value.
