This Blog “Fails”

Here is a blog or site – www.failblog.org that defies successes through pure “failures”. This is a unique concept that seems to be defined and conceptualized to provide the funny side of things, when they “Fail”. Fail to convey what it was supposed to or “situations” or “things’ that was..….purely not expected. This is a site that seems to depict the humorous side of things that may happen in any of our daily life's. This site encourages people to send picture and videos of real life situation, events, things, etc that failed. And I am sure, just by seeing some wonderful work on the site and level of participation, people logging onto this site just loves to see and even send their experienced or noticed “daily fails”. Hence I would say that this site is making a success from the failures.

I sometimes wonder that why failure is so much of in connotation to negativity. Rather it surprises me, as I believe that you can only learn from your failures. Success does not teach you  muchor provides you with so much of learning opportunity(s), what failure does. Bill Gates once said that “It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure”.

This man dropped out of college, even though his parents struggled to get him there. And, ten years after starting one of the most innovative computer companies in the world, he was fired by the board. Imagine getting fired from a multi-billion dollar company that you started in your own garage. The person was Steve Job, the name we associate with Apple. Goolge had to cut its IPO share price range to $85-95 a share - a reduction of about a quarter from the previous level of $108-135 in 2004. So aren’t these companies or people learnt from failure? The key is the attitude towards failure.

Mahatma Gandhi take on failures was something like this - “My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.”

Stanisław Lem said that if man had more of a sense of humor, things might have turned out differently. So to put the humor back and see things differently, I recommend the failblog. It also makes fun with “Funny Look-Alikes”, “Fun With Charts” and so on.

I am sure most of the things that you will visit in this blog | site will be so called…….…. “unexpected”. But as they say you can expect the unexpected and should expect failures. So here are some failing moments captured at www.failblog.org.
