Poem- Failure & innovation

The journey of innovation is incomplete without a taste of failure upfront.

Without being wrong, one never develops a fire inside while chasing a spectacular treasure hunt.

Relentless trying after repeated failures shows your ‘never say no’ attitude.

Keeping burning desires alive is a manifestation of a positive and inspiring mood.

For a better future, the pain of failure has to be swallowed to make visible progress.

Let failure be the silent killer of your comfort and bring a renewed spark to your entire process.

Let failure be produced in dozens ,to help us learn ways that don’t work.

Let many mis-steps guide us to the path of a visionary door carrying a hidden perk.

Instead of avoiding or denying failure, embrace it in order to gain true learning.

Instead of blaming, resolve not to let it happen again in the same way without yearning.

Blaming external factors for failures without learning from them will only make things worse.

Not correcting the flaw in a timely manner, will get you stuck in a loop of faulty approaches, making it a pointless traverse.

Figure out the lost signal with knowledge of the failure to embark in the right direction.

Let’s press for the grand final outcome after a starting dejection.

Perfecting a game with no immediate payoff holds a precious value that few understand.

Maintaining success for the longest possible period through a well-defined strategy does not allow you to let it slip away like quicksand.
