Anup Kochhar said this quote

The fear of failure is not just the greatest fear of man, it is the fear of man. All other fears are avatars of the fear of failure.

~ Anup Kochhar

We need to substitute ‘trier’ for failure. The word ‘fail’ is closely related to the word fall. A child taking his first step falls, cries and then tries again. Why does he try again? Because he wants to, but does not, know the meaning of failure.

~ Anup Kochhar

The fear of failure kills creativity and intelligence. The only thing it produces is conformity.

~ Anup Kochhar

Failure per se is not a disease but it can trigger anxiety, depression and even suicide. If failure can strike anyone, how can we handle it? Medical science has a well-defined mechanism in place for dealing with diseases – it identifies the symptoms and then prescribes a methodology for their management. Psychologists and Psychiatrists have management practices for dealing with anxiety and depression. But do we have a method for dealing with failure?
