Children don't worry about failure

We all and I mean all of us - from Presidents to street sweepers, from the world's richest people to those who live on nothing but ramen noodles. Every day, we fail at something: a presentation at work or an exam at school; a marriage proposal or a first date; getting into college or getting off drugs; landing your dream job or losing it completely. What's more important than our failures is what we do next with them. The ability to get back up after failing is what separates winners from losers in both business and life.

While some will tell you that failure means giving up entirely, this isn't true at all! We can always learn from our mistakes and try again later if necessary (or change careers altogether!). Noted psychologist Carol Dweck found that children don't worry about failure because they see it as another step toward success rather than something that ends it altogether. In fact, she found that children are more willing to take risks... which means going after those things they really want out of life even when there's no guarantee for success!

It's not that children don't worry - they just don't worry that they're going to fail.

They have a very different approach to risk than we do as adults, and it stems from the fact that they can't imagine failure in the first place. When we're young, we think all our decisions are permanent and irreversible; everything is black-and-white. The world is full of possibilities, but there's no way to tell which ones will be bad until after you try them out. As a child, if something doesn't work out for you today - maybe your friend won't play with you at recess or your parents forget your birthday - then tomorrow there will be another opportunity for something better: someone else will want to play with you; or maybe your parents will let themselves forget again!

But as an adult who has been around enough disappointments (and successes), it becomes much harder not only to trust that things will work out on their own but also believe that things could ever change at all—even though those changes might mean nothing more than trying something new in order continue making progress toward our ultimate goals anyway!

Children see failure as an opportunity.

Children see failure as an opportunity to learn. They don't worry about looking silly or making mistakes, they just get back up and try again.

Failure is a part of life, and learning to handle failure well is a skill that will serve you well throughout your life.

In fact, failure is often the best teacher. If you’re afraid of failure, then you’re probably not going to try very hard at anything—and that means you’ll never learn anything new or accomplish much of anything.

Children don't evaluate their work as much as adults do.

Children are more likely to look at the process and ask themselves what they learned from it, rather than focusing on the outcome. In other words, children learn that failure is just part of the process.

It's not uncommon for adults to take failure so personally that we put ourselves down and make excuses about why it happened or how it could have been different if only we'd done things differently. But if we could step back and see our lives with a child’s perspective (and ask ourselves those same questions), maybe we’d realize that every time we fail at achieving something in life, there’s probably something valuable hidden within our mistakes.

Children are more willing to try something new.

Children are more willing to try something new. They have a free spirit and an open mind. They will not be afraid of taking risks, because they don't believe in failure.

If you're having trouble with a certain subject or skill, ask yourself if it's because you're too afraid of failing at the task in front of you.

If you are, then it's time to stop worrying and start doing. Kids have a way of getting things done. They don't want to waste their time sitting around thinking about what could go wrong or how hard the challenge is going to be.

Failure is relative.

You can't compare your failure to someone else's, or even your success for that matter. You only have one yardstick: how you feel about yourself and the life you've made in general. A child's failure is not the same as an adult's failure, nor should it be.

The way they see things is different, so their expectations are different too—and this applies not just to children but also adults who haven't matured yet (or not enough). There are many factors that contribute to how well a child understands what "success" looks like in their own life: environment, talent level and more importantly parental guidance and support can all play significant roles in determining how a child views the world around them and themselves within it. While these may seem like minor details now but when combined together could help create growth mindset characteristics over time through positive reinforcement from parents which will enable kids develop resilience against setbacks later on as adults."

Remember your childhood, where failure didn't matter, and go back there in your mind when you're struggling with the idea of failure.

Remember your childhood, where failure didn't matter. This is a message that I've given to my own children and it's one of the most important things I've learned in life: failure isn't bad! It's an opportunity to learn something new and become better at something you love.

When we're young, we don't worry about failure because we don't know better. As adults, however, it can be hard not to let our fears of failure overtake us when faced with hard work or challenges. But if you think about how you felt as a child—when everything was new and exciting—you'll likely find yourself taking on more opportunities than ever before because of your renewed sense of curiosity and wonder (and maybe even some excitement).

Conclusion

So, take a deep breath and remember that failure is not the end of the world. If you’re struggling with this concept, just go back to being a kid for a little bit. Spend some time doing things that make you happy and don’t worry too much about what other people think of them (or even yourself).
