He only is exempt from failures who makes no efforts.

Failures
When failures come, oh, do not fret;
For failures, you must not regret;
Through failures, one can turn perfect,
As failure isn’t a great defect!
Each failure gives us chance again;
Through failures, we have much to gain;
So, failures are a boon, not bane;
Yes, failures make a man much sane!
All cannot win in life always;
Set-backs do come to us some days;
With failures, one makes strong a base;
Our failures bestow bolder face!
With failures come, added wisdom;
’Tis hard to hold a large kingdom;
Failures in life are much welcome,
As successes will always come.
Failures help us to love God more;
Failures are winning signs in core;
Failures can open newer door;
Failures can take us to the fore!
Which man on earth had always won?
With rain, there comes a brighter sun;
With failures, one can have much fun;
Failures aid us to faster run!
Failures can help us fare better;
Failures aren’t man’s strongest fetter;
Failures are just a trend-setter;
Failures make us a win-getter!
By failures, one can stop awhile;
Through failures, you run longer mile;
Failures do not remain life’s bile;
Failures help us finish in style!
Failures help us see truth again;
Failures remove the pride and feign;
Failures help us take newer lane;
Failures help us win in the main!
Through failures, we begin again,
And success smiles, easing out pain!

Efforts
I'll not make
Any special
Efforts to
Please you
If you get
Pleased by my
Usual efforts
I'll thank my luck
If my efforts
Displease you
I'll say
Hard Luck
And wish you
‘Better Luck'
With someone else's
Efforts
Though I know
You'll not go
Anywhere
And still
Cling to me,
Expecting me
To please you
With more
Concerted efforts
As if your pleasure
Has always depended
On my special efforts!

getting over a failure (for Liza)
be attuned, there is no such
thing as a permanent failure,
there are only preludes
success even is temporary
how much for failures?
do not diminish yourself
failures are merely suspended
successes, be patient for
it is just but a matter of time
failures are but temporary guests
the uninvited ones whom you
can even dismiss at any time
but don't be too harsh upon
failures and upon yourself
like everyone else that you meet
give them time to speak and
be with you, they also have something
to say, though not nice, but there
is also so much to learn from them.
that ugly guy over there, welcome
him inside your house, serve him
tea and company, he has something
more important to say, than that
handsome man over there, who like
a magician, gives you only illusions.
sometimes what is more real
let me say this once, is failure.

We Were Talking
about failures and i told her
i am not afraid of failures
they do not kill me
they are but postponed successes
in our lives
that i am no longer bound by failures for long
that they do not harm me
that we are incharge and things and people harm us
only if we allow them
we are the kings of our thrones
our territories are within our grasp
we breathe and we give life to what is near us
we are the doors
and we only let in
those that we love and who can love us in return
we shut ourselves
from pain
and we make each pillar of our kingdoms
strong
we were talking about love
and we like to be silent from then on

Sonnet: Failures Too Bring Success
Just like how ocean’s waves all fall and rise,
Again, again incessantly, forev’r!
When failures come, remain we must most wise,
And try again, again but quit never.
The greatest men had failures too, much more;
Yet undeterred, they fought their way through them;
Recurrent failures could open new door;
Perseverance must be success emblem.
Learn from each failure but never look back;
Let world comment and mock, ’tis not for long;
But never do become lethargic/ slack;
No one predicts when rings your success gong!
Great men were dull once but never gave up;
Always in life, like a steed you gallop.

The timid and fearful first failures dismay, but the stout heart stays trying by night and by day. He values his failures as lessons that teach The one way to get to the goal he would reach.

Cindy
what a way to mask
intentions,
for those failures
you stay put here
not blaming the
slowness of your
feet
and your inability
to make the necessary
connections
to success
your success has
an imported definition
it is not here
it is in another country
where people are
giving you
the higher currency
for your services
you mask
your failure with
patriotism
your weaknesses
you cover
with the love of self
be courageous
cindy
tell them the truth
you're a failure
oh yes
but you tried so hard
and that
makes you
the heroine of
today's
modern story
to greatness
stories that last
and get the
Oscars
you must know
has something to do
with honesty
and not the travesty
of that beautiful face
of pretension
Cindy
cry if you must
but have trust
failures don't
last.

Time is body
Time makes you tired;
Time makes you fresh.
Time makes you stale;
Time makes you new.
Time is not in your hand,
In whose hand you’re.
Time converts you
And terminates you.
Life is one’s efforts,
Which is bound by time.
Time is body, where
Life, the soul, dwells.

No Ifs and Buts
No ifs and buts
Only how best efforts you put
Success may come of its own
You will be up the ladder and rightly known
Had it been only excuse and reason?
Nobody would have succeeded as person
As it required tremendous zeal with thrust
All efforts are needed and must
Even though life is considered uncertain
We must have calm posture to maintain
There may be setbacks and failures
But we will have to remain firm for sure
You aim for only those things
Which have values in life for something?
It may not help if needlessly thought over
Life will be ruined simply for effective cover
We all know about capability
This is one of the cruel realities
Nothing comes in easy way
We have to force and take it away
If things were that easy
We would have remained very choosey
It may come only with hard approach
Life is easy and critical as such
I would rate chances very high
If we have strong wings to fly
We must cover only the distance
That can bring us back safe at once
Love to lead the life with contentment
Then it won’t have any room for resentment
There will be full joy and happiness
Same will be seen and reflected on the face

Sincerely Expressed
Even in the midst,
Of being presented with their failures...
They have become stubbornly defensive.
As if there is an obligation for them,
To remain decisively opposed to anything...
That directs them out of their predicaments.
And anyone 'hinting' of any insight and intelligence,
Immediately offends them to no end.
Making it extremely difficult to make sense of any of this,
For those with hopes to produce results...
To pretend that their patient efforts sincerely expressed,
Has not been a waste of time or a loss of sanity.

Every great improvement has come after repeated failure. Virtually nothing comes out right the first time. Failures, repeated failures, are the posts on the road to achievement.

Sonnet- Success Will Come
Don't lose your heart if failures come with ease;
Build up courage and try again-succeed;
Let failures not disturb your mental peace;
Delayed if mirth is sure to well exceed.
Rewards may come to some in ways unknown;
Rewards may miss the truly talented;
Rewards may make a person sometimes clown;
All flowers aren't born to be well-scented.
Though failures come, our duty we must do;
Let Nature take its time and course it must;
Results could be very untoward too;
Our human eyes cannot avoid road-dust.
The patient man will soon succeed in life;
But one knows not, how long can last one's strife.

Comeon! Agree With Me
I know I've been critical of my opponent,
With a wish from the beginning to see him fail.
And I know his attempts have been publicly presented.
While those I have made have yet to prevail.
But mentioning his failures adds a wind to my sail.
Comeon!
Agree with me.
Let us all demonize his efforts.
Okay?
And I know for many years,
I have made promises intended but did not exist.
But all I ask of you is to give me a chance,
To work on those promises...
With a hope in your minds they will become enhanced.

I think that the failures of Enron and WorldCom and other companies are partially failures of investors to recognize companies that are selling for a thousand times nothing, but chances are they may be worth only that.
