Handling Academic Failure

Success and failure are equidistance from you. None is farther or nearer. If you have failed before, you can still succeed again in the exact place you have failed if you know what you are doing.

Failure takes different people to different places. It moves some people forward and likewise some backward. Failure can destroy your personal confidence if not rightly handled. It will steal your joy, rob you of your rest of mind, and replace your complex with an inferior one.

Just like success, failure also can get into your head and begin to dictate your actions. It will cause you to be ashamed of yourself, to hide your face when your friends are around, and not to utter a word when those who have passed are talking.

Failure will bring fear into your life and fear is disastrous. It will hold you down for as long as you permit it. If you dwell in the failure of the past, you will never move forward in life. It will demoralize you. It will weigh you down and cause you untold heartbreak.

However, if well handled, failure has a value as a teacher. The benefit of failure is that it teaches you how not to go about a thing again. It helps you to identify your weakness(es) and to counter such weakness(es) at the next trial. If you have failed before, fail intelligently; learn from your mistakes, fail forward! Some people learn from their failures while others do not recover from them. When you learn from your failure, it hastens your journey in life but if you refuse to learn from it, your life is stagnated. Then it can be said that you have failed backward.

Do not let your future be held in ransom by your past. That you have failed does not mean you will

always fail. No one is prone to failure. Anyone can fail because of any simple reasons. Every student fails, but the successful ones are those that react to failure the positive way. You also must learn to react to failure positively. Let your failure push you forward. Survive your failure; don't let your failure survive you.

Do not let the failures of the past hold you down. Break yourself lose from its grips. Successful students are those who refuse to quit after failing. Failures are those who refuse to try again after failing. Do not build monuments on your failure, learn the lesson, forget the mistake and move on and you can only move forward by transforming your failure into success with hard work.

Never use failure as an excuse for not trying again. Admit your mistakes. Look for where you got it wrong. Go over the script over and over again until you see where the problem is.


If you don't know why you failed you won't succeed. How to succeed lies in your failure. When next you fail, if at all you ever fail again, analyze the problem and find out why, because each failure is one more step, leading up to the success you desire.
