Daily Dose of Wisdom

Exploiting a Setback

Failure is wasted if you return only to the place you fell.

If your plans fail, think bigger, aim higher.


From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.

Return to Torah is not a Failure
And if you return to Torah from a non ortodox viewpoint?

Then Torah is not a failure. The failure is to share with not agreement.

Interesting sentence.

The world is your classroom, every stage is another lesson, the instructor is a master teacher. Most often, we have no clue of the meaning of the lesson until we have withstood its tests.
Take advantage now to learn and grow. Exploit the setback. As the sages would often say, "This, too, shall pass." And then you will understand.

Thoughts on Failure
A person looses his job for no obvious reason but just because his boss tried to get rid of him since he could be potential replacement for him. For about two years now, he can not find another job. He goes from interview to interview but it does not work. He learns that his position was never replaced by anybody yet. The passage not to return back to the place where you fell is contradicting this particular situation because looks like that was the only place where he could be helpfull and adequate. Where I am wrong?
