The rain dance of Failure and Rejection by Sanskriti Girdhar, Visiting Faculty, Ramanujan College https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance Success isn’t the absence of failure; it’s preserving through failure. Life is a ride full of ups and downs and while you may encounter lots of highs, failure and rejection are a part and parcel of your way to success. Rejection, though painful, teaches us who we are, what we really want out of life, and just how much we are capable of surviving. It should not deviate you from your goal, rather it is important to see them as stepping stones towards a brighter, better and a more learned future. With this activity, I want you to share your experience and perspective about what you feel and think about both these two terms.  en-us 2021-06-25 07:40:07 UTC 2025-11-21 07:40:22 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3af.png Manisha verma https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1625092281 Hello this is Manisha verma , I completely agree to this phenomenon in which we get success through many ups and downs and many failures and rejections. We felt happy when we get success and we feel sad whenever we get rejection.. This is normal tendency of showing your reaction towards life but it should not be like that. We should accept the failure and rejection in the same way as we accept the success. It totally depends upon our perception and we should change and bring the shift in this attitude. We should welcome failure too and try to see the other side of it positively. By doing this, we can come up atleast through the pain of getting failure and being rejected. ]]> 2021-06-25 08:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1625092281 FAILURE AS KEY TO SUCCESS 📃📃😊😊 srivastavautkarsh049 https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1625154121 While a new discovery or innovation people take countless times but never loose hope, as it's provided them a great learning, Thomas Edison ones said "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
Failure is a key to success aswell as a path towards progress as without this failure, people wouldn't learn how to succeed. Without that rejection on the job interview they wouldn't get sense of true realisation of their potential. Stories of success very appealing but they require alot of determination, hardworking and selflessness. Moving into adulthood and professional life, failure is very often viewed as a negative thing but that's not the case according to me. Our life a like a roller coaster ride, filled with ups and downs so we should face both positives and negatives with same mindset.

It is in the same way as we all want happiness but no one wants sadness. But think that if  we were always happy than would we have realized the importance of being happy. Being happy is about dealing with bad (sad) situations happily. So similarly will success remain important if there is no failure. Failures and rejections let us feel the true taste of success. We should learn from our failures and rejections as they are our best teachers. Even great personalities have become great after facing obstacles like failures and rejections. So it is the way that we take them , it is our point of view which creates a difference. So we need to take the failures and rejections as opportunities for proving ourselves and for achieving even better than what we were expecting earlier . ]]> 2021-06-25 10:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1625184272 https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1625204494 Rajpreet 
Success isn’t easy. It takes time and efforts to be successful and while we are putting in all those efforts we might get to face failures. Success generally brings happiness and contentment while failures are accompanied by sadness and disappointments. But if we ask who is a better teacher then i would say “ failure”. The best lessons are learned through failures. We get a chance to see where we went wrong and how can we improve ourselves. Success give a boost to our self esteem whereas failures make us a better person. Both are part and parcel of life and are important in helping us grow.]]> 2021-06-25 10:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1625204494 Life is a rain dance of failure and rejection sujatamalik60 https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1625396886 If we accept failure and rejection like a rain dance "which sometimes spreads a spray (success) of pure drops on the earth of life, sometimes it takes a harsh fierce form (failure and rejection)"  It is seen in the form of moments but unforgettable experiences are given in life. But the rain dance of life goes on forever. Life is more important than failure and rejection, both these elements are only a momentary part of life. Neither success nor failure & rejection is forever. My experience is that in the journey of life, failure and rejection do not always need to be judged with the efficiency of one's own ability. Sometimes this experience is just a way to understand life more deeply. Act as a source of inspiration. Variability is the law of the world, If we develop the art of accepting this principle easily, then we will be able to know what we want from life. Failure and rejection bring about qualitative growth and improvement in us. It disturbs us only when we are unable to understand the essence of life. Because it is the system that enhances our intellectual and fundamental abilities. When we fail, we get a chance to re-evaluate our intellectual and original abilities because human nature is to succeed. But we never observe ourselves and accept all our successful decisions as our effective abilities. Being rejected has an adverse effect on human sensibility, which gives mental pain, but if we are rejected, then we can make our mental feelings stronger. In this situation, we should re-comparative study of our fundamental qualities and try to know what has led to rejection on the positive far-reaching consequences of life which is hidden in negative activities. If we accept these ups and downs of life like a rain dance, then failure and rejection will prove to be a milestone in the vast Kurukshetra of life.]]> 2021-06-25 13:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1625396886 https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1626143658 Rain dance of failure and rejection

Shakespeare once said that nothing is good or bad, but our thinking makes it so.  Similarly, failure and rejection are not as bad as they sound, if we know how to turn them into milestones towards success by our positive thinking for a better and bright future.

Successful people are not those who never fail, but the ones who never quit in spite of failure and rejection.  Failure brings sadness, sorrow, but, it is not the end of life.  Failure indeed is painful at start, but our outlook towards the failure matters a lot.  With positive outlook and never-say-die spirit it is not only possible but certain that we can achieve success in future.  Perseverance is the key.  If failure comes in our life, we should accept it and work upon the drawbacks because of which we could not succeed.  With courage, confidence and dedication towards our goal, we can surely overcome these drawbacks convert the failure into success.  It is important for us to understand that success and failure are nothing but two faces of a coin.  We will only lose if we stop tossing the coin.

Failure is not bad in case you do more hard work, it trains us what works and what does not works,it gives motivation and encouragement,it develops opportunity,it allows us to seek inspiration as well as inspire others, it coachs us about ourselves and helps in creativity etc.

It's so truly said that success isn't the absence of failure.  As to feel the real happiness of your success , achievement,  it comes only after failure.  Failure makes you sad , heartbroken but it makes you strong from inside.  It gives you the strength to face your problems and take steps towards your goal.  
Almost everybody once in life faces rejection.  For eg : appearing in entrance exam or job interview . It's not necessary that everyone get selected or clear at first attempt . By rejection you learn more and more and become capable of handling difficult situations . 
Just like every year rain comes , same way failure and rejection also comes . No one can run from it. 
Don't fell bad if someone rejects you as people usually reject and ignore expensive things because they can't afford them .

I totally agree with both the concepts. Failure taught me most in my life. When I look back to the phase which I consider as devastating, is actually a polishing period of my life. Rejection from others leads to acceptance of facts and our own individual thinking which make us different from others. I v experienced some incidents when I was rejected for not following stereotyped thinking and I  rnd up while accepting myself as I am.]]> 2021-06-26 07:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1626240747 https://padlet.com/sanskritigirdhar94/Raindance/wish/1626358732 Priyanka Pandey
FAILURE IS THE PART OF SUCCESS
Failure and success are opposite words but still an important part of  our life. Without failure, success is not possible. Although the failure brings sadness and depression but it really teaches us a lesson to wake up in our life. 
 
Success is not only about having name and fame but loving your work and working with happiness is success in real sense. 

We should not consider failure as an obstacle of life but a way to success. 

If we start balancing failure and success of our life we will  able to do whatever we want to do. Do not consider success as something sad but consider it as a path to transform our personality. 

So at last, I would like to say that success and failure is both an important in our life.

Most of us tend to not mention it while rarely someone is seen celebrating it. After all, we have been conditioned to champion success, to exemplify excellence and to disregard any conversations about failure. 

Though, if we analyze any success story, failures and rejections are what forges will, grit and strength that leads to breakthroughs. Failure usually means that you’re trying, and those who never fail have never tried anything new in their lives. The usual imagery of success we have internalized is a false notion at best and idealized fantasy at worst. 

We tend to always be wary of starting new things, treading offbeat paths as we desire to avoid failing, avoid being mocked at. I suppose a vast majority of the population isn’t privileged enough to afford failures. 

Particularly the middle class communities have immense pressure to succeed as to bid for a possibly better life and thus, any small failure in their way seems a mammoth roadblock enough to make them rethink. 

Moreover,  I think that if we champion failures more and cheer people who failed trying often, it would be simple to put strength in our convictions and work towards success.

As a human being we make mistakes not only single but many times and sometimes we learn from our mistakes and go through it and sometimes we do not and that is why we all go through ups and downs in our lives. Failures and rejections are part of journey to reach success and we all should keep in mind that sometimes with our efforts we make it and sometimes failure seems inevitable but that doesn't mean that we should leave our determination to get successful due to fear of failure but rather we should continue our journey to reach success. Getting failure and rejection doesn't mean that life ends here but it make us to see more opportunities and attempts we have if we we can see. It will make us more conscious next time while making efforts to reach our goal and I see failure as a teacher who always make us realise that where we did mistakes and where we performed well so it also give us a chance to analyze our efforts and process and help us to add and subtract as per demands.
So in my opinion failures and rejections complement success because it increases the beauty and value of success and that is how we know the worth of success in real sense. It is human tendency that we take for grant all those things which we get very easily and we value only those things which we get by so much efforts and struggle.
