Major causes of Failure in Life || Reasons of failure
Why we fail in life
All of us have been failed at least once in life. There are no persons without failure. There is a proverb saying 'failure is the first step of success'. Likewise you should not be disappointed in the first failure in life. You should learn from your failure and mistakes. Best is the person who learns from other mistakes.
It is common to make mistakes in life but keep in mind that never repeat same mistakes twice. Sometimes life hits your head with a brick, but you should never loose faith, wake up and keep moving. One thing you need to keep in your mind is that no matter how hard is been through keep moving, keep learning and keep exploring. There is a strong saying that 'winner never quits and quitter never wins'. There is no success stories without failure. Mistakes always teach you a new lesson that you shouldn't repeat in life. Remember that the great Edison never quitted until he found a way to light electric bulb rather it took thousands times of unsuccessful attempts. But he never quit. He had faith for his burning desire and for his great decision, which took him to the height of success.

5)Lack of self discipline
Discipline comes through self control. This means one must control all negative qualities. Before you can control conditions you must control yourself. Self mastery is the hardest job you must tackle. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.

This is the one of the major causes of failure. Most of us go through life as failures, because we are waiting for the time to be right, to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait. The time will never be just right. Start where you stand and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
8)Lack of persistent
Most of us are good starters and poor finishers of everything we begin. Moreover, people are prone to give up at the first sign of defeat. There is no substitute for persistence. Failure cannot cope with persistence.

The most damaging forms of intemperance are connected with eating, strong drink, and sexual activities. Overindulgence in any of these is fatal to success.

More people lose their positions and their big opportunities in life, because of this fault, than for all other reasons combined. It is a fault which no well-informed business man, or leader will tolerate.
26) Possession of power that was not acquired by self effort
Power in the hands of one who did not acquire it gradually, is often fatal to success. Quick riches are more dangerous than poverty.
27) The habit of indiscriminate spending
The spend-thrift cannot succeed, Mainly because he stands eternally in fear of poverty. Form the habit of systematic saving by putting aside a definite percentage of your income.
28) Intentional dishonesty
There is no substitute for honesty. One may be temporarily dishonest by force of circumstances over which one has no control, without permanent damage. But, there is no hope for the who is dishonest by choice. Sooner or later, his deeds will catch up with him, and he will pay by loss of reputation, and perhaps even loss of liberty.
29) Egotism and vanity
These qualities serve as red lights which warn others to keep away. They are fatal to success.

This is a common cause of failure among those who start out in business for the first time, without sufficient reserve of capital, to absorb the shock of their mistake.
32) Not having definiteness of decision
The man who wavers in his decision shows that he is not sure of himself. He does not know what to do when.
Why people give up too early
Nowadays people give up too fast. Major problem of today's world is that they need results very fast. They do not have persistence. Everything takes time of its own. You cant get a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. But nowadays, people sow a seed today and they want its fruit tomorrow. They need instant results. By lacking the ability of consistency and persistence they give up even not getting started. Another cause of giving up too early is the fear of failure and criticism.
Always wanted something for nothing
People are being too lazy that they always wanted something without giving anything. Always make sure that what you are intending to give for the thing you wanted to achieve. There is no gain without pain. For example, if you wanted to achieve good scores in your exams be sure what are you giving in return. In return you should give your time and focus for study, Otherwise, there is a sure chance of failure.
