The
fourteenth lesson in Napolean Hill’s Law
of Success is titled
“Profiting by Failure.” In the lesson, Hill gives the reader a different view
of the meaning behind the word “failure”. Normally a negative word, Hill
distinguishes failure from temporary defeat, and temporary defeat can at times
be a blessing in disguise. He then states that he is thankful for experiencing
so much defeat, since it had the effect of giving him the courage to attempt
things he would not have tried if his early life would have been easier. The
lesson flips the idea behind failure so drastically that by the end of the
lesson it appears as though failure isn’t a bad thing at all. The message that
can be taken after concluding with the lesson is simple. Ultimately, there is
no failure. What appears to be failure is usually a minor setback in disguise,
and you must always refuse to accept it as being permanent.
