When Google started to push their Gmail services and decided to made it public for the first time it was in the year of 2004.
The development team were quite sure that the services were not perfect at all but
they couldn't even know what's going to be wrong if they release it publically
straight away,but they wanted to know about it from the Users and released the "Beta"
version of it,Just like you can see here on steemit on the upper left hand Steemit Beta.
They could now get the feedback which may seems simple to other but for the
developement team it was not less than gold at that time and they could work to make
it even better and simplify things.
There was nothing new as we all know now that many companies use this as a strategy
they first use Beta testing and later roll out their proper services publically.
But you will be surprised that the Beta version of Gmail ran until the year 2009,and
it was not officialy announced that time.
the beta version ran for almost 5 years long !!!
Now you will be thinking just like i am thinking in your head right now what's the
hell gmail has to do with never failing at anything in life.
if you have came till this point i appreciate your patience :)
How not to deal with failures
Many of us tend to get upset sooner than ever and infact did very wrong with own.
Due to which every setback comes along with a setback and heavy self criticism.
Just like ;
- i am of no use.
- i am a dumb.
- i am just wasting time on this planet i can do nothing ever.
- my life is a failure
- i can't do anything in life
- .......and so on !!
And this as in human nature seems to be quite senseful and right enough.
As if we didn't punish ourself for the mistakes how we will every try to achieve
something in life?
But this thinking doesn't seems to be working at all.
all it do is it make you feel terrible all the time and discourage you towards your
passion and the lack of self confidence can be seen after that.
So what to do now huhhh (>_<)
You remembered i just talked about the Beta Mode in the starting of this article
Oh yeah you remebered it right !!
Now Just Try to Put yourself Permanently in Beta Mode Yes !!!
Now in this case we need to learn something from the devloper there and why we should
put ourself completly in Beta mode for life.
I am talking about Permanent beta mode yes once again saying that.
Now what happens along with the beta mode mentaility is that the beauty of this is it
changes you in how you try to tackle the setbacks .
As you are in the mindset of Beta mode so mistakes has to be done and it quite expected.
Now instead of thinking them as failures they are now valuable feedback data for you
to continuously improve the approach towards something you try to achieve.
Now in the beta mode you are not looking to be perfect,you are trying to find out the
errors which is a huge relief as compared from the normal mode.
i hope you are getting it..
So coming back to the Title of This post
How to Never Fail At Anything Ever Again
So Remember me next time if not me remember the beta mode whenever you find yourself at a situation where things didn't go well as expected.
- Immediately Remind your self back again that you are in beta mode permanently you are imperfect and things too will not happen perfectly.
- Try to forgive yourself immediately after that it will make you feel good and the burden too will be less on your shoulders.
- Ask yourself Honestly and analyse yourself from the feedback data,where did the things went wrong ?? and what could be done next after that to fix this problem(error)
Some of the things which i use to counter the part of failure
Set a Goal it can be huge or small the goal matter in the last !
- Start from small.
- Break it into pieces and prepare a strategy and set some milestone in between that.
- Celebrate small milestones and give a damm smile on the face like this :D
- Surround yourself with best people who gives you positivity.
Life is a Running Experiment
So now think to put yourself in the permanent beta mode,try to grab the feedback
(data) from the setback as a valuable thing not as failure anymore.
Then just keep hustling with things around and find differnt way's to play with it
next time until it works for you and become your friend.
