I Never Lose. I Either Win or Learn. Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid activist and politician who served as South Africa’s first president. His quotes of wisdom are very much popular. He is an inspiration to all of us and we can learn from studying his life.

Life is full of failures, lessons, and successes. As I’ve learned so far through my life experiences, failure is nothing but a way to success. Every failure brings many experiences with it. Every successful person of today has faced many more failures and challenges in life. This is what the legend Mandela says in his quote;

I never lose. I either win or learn. Nelson Mandela

You’ve probably seen it hundreds of times on sites that promote motivation and positive affirmations. And I honestly think it’s a mantra we should all adopt.

This phrase pushes us to be much more positive and take a step back from our failures. Life is full of obstacles, mistakes, and failures. But you can make the conscious and deliberate decision not to see the glass half empty. Failure is the only way to learn. If you don’t fail, how will you learn? Remember, No university teaches you the lessons you learn from failures.

Btw what is success?

In fact, there is always something positive to find. Even in a bad decision, even in a difficult situation like grief or a breakup, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. And you have to focus on that light.

When you put all your energy into achieving your goal, you always win. Even if you don’t achieve your goal, everything you’ve learned along the way is an essential lesson that you will carry with you for the rest of your life.

So that’s a win! Life’s lessons are not only hidden in success or achievements. Failures are also a way to improve and grow.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Phrase Nelson Mandela

So, never be afraid of trying new things and taking risks in life. If you don’t fall, you can’t get up and you never learn anything. Those who rise after a fall know how to never fall down again.
