It depends on goal and one's committment. However, these two things i.e. goal and one's committment, are complementary to each other, the goal should be achievabale. For instance, if someone wants big rivers like 'the Mahakali' to reverse its stream, one rearly succeed in reaching the goal. If one considres feasible scope while determing the goal, and make viable goals, and exert oneself to achieve this, they won't have to stop trying or move on towards another option later on. Sometimes what happen is even with these careful consideration, one may find hard to get the desired goal. In such a situation one shouldn't give up, but rather keep trying, and remember Napoleon Hill's great quote 'Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Don't be discouraged if you fail a few times.'

Well, it depends. "The other option" might be another destination or just another path for the same destination. If the destination is your passion then do not let it go because it is the reason you are here for. And there is nothing wrong in trying different option for the path to achieve your destiny unless the path is not guided with morales and and your ethics.

Well the trails can be subjective. Like if you are wasting your hard work and time on something as fruitless as building a castle in the air (just a metaphor)then you better put your effort elsewhere. Otherwise there is no harm on trying once or twice before you get frustrated and want to go another path.

Definetly not,the proverb"The failure is a sign of success." is a way to know about the procuder and path for success.Unfaviroable situation does not last long, should end one day.On the other hand, it's better to fallow the options for solving regarding matter.Ultimatly, main goal is to achieve the success.

Yes it is right that failure is sometimes key to success. This, i can say from my own experience. I was very weak in mathematics but i never used to fail, i used to get just the pass marks. I was considered as a good student because I was good in other subjects. But in class 10 I failed in mathematics in pre-board and that just struck my mind because I did not like the other students who got better marks showing sympathy to me. And that day I started learning mathematics paying more attention to it. And because of my dedication and hard work, I got 85 marks in boards and i think that was a great achievement for me and now I am in class 12 and I have taken science with maths and biology. I am considered as a good maths student in the class. Now i think, had I not failed in maths in class 10, today i would not have even taken science and try to fulfill my dream. I think it was a try which i gave to maths to excel in it but at the same time its true that so much ever we try to do something which is beyond our capacity we fail.At this situation, we should give up thinking that its not for us, we have got something better than this. This also i can say from my experience. I have got a little problem in speaking certain words. So because of this i have a stage-phobia. But as one of the great personality 'Roosevelt' said that all we have to fear is the fear itself. So i decided to overcome this fear. I tried to participate in many speaking competitions, but I failed again and again . Alast i accepted the fact that this fear will never leave me , i only have to leave this fear. So i decided not to go in for this and go for that which I really deserve. So i decided to go in that Field where I do not have to speak too much.

Failures are the pillars of success. Try and try makes a man perfect. But in some case, it is also seen that students try a lot for achieving success in the exams but uselessly. Some students don't sleep whole night reading their books but also they lack success in their performance. A student tries a lot to acknowledge the matter but if he/she don't understand the matter seriosly then how could he/she get the knowledge by trying a lot, how the new things would arise in his/her mind? Contrary to the popular belief that people learn from their mistakes, new studies claim that the brain may not learn from failures. So in my view, instead of wasting our time in that failure, better we should change our faculty and study our interested subject or, change our options. Otherwise it's only the waste of time and nothing more.............. Albeit, a serious question arises, "ARE FAILURES REALLY THE PILERS OF SUCCESS?"

Basically, success and failure are those things which separate trying from doing.that is very clear that the person who is failing again and again,he is not trying with full force.impossible is nothing.if we try again and again we will succeed there is also a proverb "A Player Loses Hundreds Of Match before winning a big one". and the person who has already lost hope of being successful,i am guaranteed he can succeed if he rises up,and proudly say 'There is nothing i cant do!i shall try again and again, until i succeed"and if Heshe do it confidently and sincerely i am sure he wins and be successful.As for those who once tries and becomes tired, there is no meaning of trying time and again.

well.. people often face many problems in their daily lives. They some time fails as well as succeed to face it. however, i do not personally accede the given statement. the thing what i believe is struggle, the one who toils in their period, its an abvious they would succeed one day. sooner or later,they will. Although struggle sometimes leads to even worse situation,hope is the only thing that we sould never loose from our heart and mind. and after that, i gurantee we can move onwards in our future living.as i always say, hope is the only light to success.

Question

It is said that ‘failure is the stepping stone to success’. But sometimes even try, try, try again does not guarantee that you will succeed in it. In such a case, when do you think one should stop trying (and failing again), but rather move on towards another option? Share your views of such failure, success or change of mind.
