odizeey: Life can be tough. As my mother used to wryly remind me, “No one gets out alive.” We all have plenty of less-than-perfect moments. Not even the most gifted, telegenic and charming people live every day in the sunshine. The same is true for entrepreneurs. Just as “bad things happen to good people,” every great entrepreneur regularly stares down the barrel of failure.
Graham Weaver, the founder of Alpine Investors and a frequent visitor to my business classes, reminds would-be entrepreneurs that the only failures they should fear are the ones of character and effort. It’s an uncertain world, and there are only so many things you can control. Even when you’re giving 100% and doing your best to be an honorable and ethical leader, things go wrong.
What you can control is how you deal with those setbacks. However stressful failure can be, if you pick yourself up and get back on the horse, you’ve passed the real test. And when you do, you’ll start to see more silver linings than you expected. In pushing through failure, you’ll learn who your real friends are – the ones who know what you’re made of and believe in what you’ll do next. You’ll discover reserves of energy, persistence and confidence that you didn’t know you had. And you’ll feel a new sense of creativity, the ingenuity to solve hard problems, that might have remained fallow without the challenges.
One way I’ve prepared for my own unanticipated, but nonetheless certain, failures is by memorizing these 10 quotes:
1."What does not destroy me, makes me stronger."– Friedrich Nietzsche, 1844-1900
2."Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance."Samuel Johnson 1709-84.
3."Sweet are the uses of adversity."– William Shakespeare, 1564-1616
4."When it’s darkest, men see the stars."– Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882
5."Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom."– General George S. Patton, 1885-1945
6."When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water."– Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790
7."A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with the wind."– John Neal, 1793-1876
8."Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm."– Anon
9."He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity."– Ben Jonson, c.1573-1637
10."Life is not always a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes playing a poor hand well."– Jack London, undated.
One last quote I always keep nearby is this one from Theodore Roosevelt -- about the value of “daring greatly”. It's an excerpt of a speech he gave at Paris’s Sorbonne in April, 1910:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
It’s nice to remind yourself that anyone who fails at trying to do something great is in pretty good company. This group knew that the best dreams can often temporarily disguise themselves as nightmares – better to press forward and leave the fear behind.

upros: THE Federal Government
may have reopened
dialogue with the
leadership of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), in a bid to end the over two months old
strike. This came just as the
National Association of
Nigerians Students (NANS)
urged both government
and ASUU to return back to
the negotiation table, with each party willing to shift
ground from their previous
positions. Indications to the new
development with ASUU
emerged on Monday, when
journalists were called to
cover the meeting, which
was eventually postponed till next week, with a
ministry official saying this
was to allow the
supervising Minister of
Education, Mr Nyesom
Wike, get proper briefing on the current standpoint
of the issues involved. Wike was joined by the
Minister of Labour and
Productivity, Chief Emeka
Wogu, for the meeting
scheduled for 12 noon at
the Federal Ministry of Education conference room
before it was called off. Nigerian Tribune gathered
that the resumption of
talks followed the exit of
the former Minister of
Education, Professor
Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, who was dropped last
week by President
Goodluck Jonathan
alongside eight other
ministers. The negotiation between
the government and
leadership of ASUU broke
down over disagreement
on payment of academic
earned allowance to union members. Meanwhile, the Nigerian
students, under the
auspices of NANS, have
called on both the Federal
Government and ASUU to
return back to the negotiation table, in order
to resolve their differences
in good faith. Acting Senate president of
NANS, John Shima, while
addressing newsmen in
Abuja, lauded the sack of
Professor Rufa’i and other
ministers, as part of the initiatives of President
Jonathan to retool the
government. “ASUU and Federal
Government should go
back to the negotiating
table. Even after wars,
issues are resolved at the
roundtable. Nigerian students have been idle for
78 days. “Nigerian students are tired
of sitting at home. Both
parties are urged to shift
ground to ensure quick
resolution of the crisis. “We lost almost three
years of study time in the
last 10 years due to strikes;
the lost time being enough
to graduate a student in
Germany,” Shima said. Meanwhile, Benue State
governor, Mr Gabriel
Suswam, has vowed to get
tough on striking lecturers
of Benue State University,
Makurdi, by evoking “no work, no pay” policy if
they refuse to call off what
he described as their
“sympathy strike,” which
had paralysed academic
activities in the state. Suswam said state-owned
universities like that of
Benue had no reason
whatsoever to remain on
strike, since it was federal
universities and not states that were earlier involved
in the negotiation with the
Federal Government. Suswam explained that
Benue State University had
been benefiting fully from
the earned allowance for
which the Federal
Government voted N30 billion and had no cause to
be complaining. The governor, while
addressing communicant
members of the Reformed
Church of Christ in Nigeria,
at Achusa village, Makurdi,
at the weekend, decried the extent to which the
strike had gone and
admonished the authorities
of the institution to
expedite action towards
suspending the protracted strike for students to
resume in the next one
week. He condemned the level of
dilapidated infrastructure
in most state-owned
universities, including
Benue State University, but
applauded the Federal Government for the release
of N100 billion to assuage
the problem. Benue State University, the
governor said, got N950
million for the execution of
six projects within the
institution, while he
expressed optimism that the funds would be
judiciously used for the
growth of the university.
