Introduction
The Thirteenth principle of Napoleon Hill's 17 principles of success is "Learn from Adversity and Defeat". Every setback and adversity carries seeds of equivalent or greater benefit. Remembering this fact can modify our mental reaction and attitude towards adversity and defeats. Defeats and Adversities can be considered as a price of our final success. We must pay something to get some worthy thing and in a similar way, we have to face adversities and defeats to ensure our final success.Importance of Defeats
When KFC came to China, Jack Ma also went for the interview for the post of a delivery boy with 23 other people but all of them got selected except Jack Ma. He applied for Harvard 10 times but got rejected every time. But he started learning English while working as a city guide. He never accepted setbacks as the final destination and that’s why he became successful. We must also look at defeats as the test conducted by God to gauge our willpower.Watch our latest video:

The Benefits of Defeat
Defeat helps us to count our assets and liabilities (both spiritual and physical). It also strengthens our willpower by challenging us to make relentless efforts. There is a very famous principle being used by all bodybuilders to build a muscular body and this principle is known as resistance training. People who just jerk the dumbbell in a faster way cannot build the muscle but the dumbbell must be returned to its position with a very slow speed and this is called resistance training. Defeats can be compared to resistance training and after any failure, we must deliberately concentrate on the reasons for failure. Bounce back and achieve all success on this earth.Summary
Each and every person faces failure during his/her lifetime but it depends on the mindset of that person if s/he wants to learn from the failure or blame the situation. A positive mental attitude can give you great help here. People with a positive mental attitude learn from their mistakes and restructure their strategy to achieve the desired goal. Also, remember one more thing that you are not a failure until and unless you accept your defeat. Defeat can never disappoint a person who learns from failures.All the best and keep working hard.
