Few months back i was talking to one of my friends who had a successful chain of clothing shop . I was impressed by her attitude , dedication and hard work send wanted her to share her experiences . As usual few of the stories were same as of any successful player but one thing which she related was life changing . She said that last year her one of the shops got gutted with fire and all her clothes amounting to crores got lost .

She was not so well insured and she sat outside the shop crying and yelling . After few hours she recalled herself and consoled herself that whatever she had earned from here has been lost here . She was hale and hearty and with a spirit to re bounce back . Today she was a bigger successful Entrepreneur.

Same goes with a very close friend of mine who is a successful industrialist . He said that after initial success he suffered double the losses . He comes from a very low family and hence it was very difficult for himself to reinvent himself , gather the courage and strike back .

He persisted as he convinced himself that losses are part of the game and 10 years down the line he is on a road to success which is enviable for many .

Thus the very fact is that we should not be afraid of losses . Losses don’t define our failure in acumen but the spirit to re bounce does . If we lack strong courage and will power then definitely we are a loser .
