What do you mean by: 'dare to fail'? My book and talks are about the other side of the success story —the knowledge of failure. To know your emotional quotient (EQ), you need to know your failure quotient (FQ) first. We see successful men but fail to see the failures before they got to their goals. If you know your FQ, you can handle obstacles better. Failure is a part of success. What makes you a failure guru? I've failed in my exams, my business, my love life, my family life. In the process, I learnt some lessons. I became a pressure cooker. Now, I'm letting people know what failure told me. What is success? My yardstick for success is not attaining the goal, but the journey towards it. My definition of success is that it is just a matter of time. Failure is success delayed. Are your mantras universal? People are unhappy everywhere. Parents are unhappy with their kids and put pressure on them to succeed. In all the countries I've visited, the problems are the same. So, the mantras are universal. If people don't understand what failure is then it will lead to more of a dog-eat-dog world. If you understand failure, you will compete with your own self and this leads to success. The paradox is that successful people pay me to talk on failure.
