The Top 17 Ultimate Reasons Why People Fail

As we know, all human beings are created equal, yet we don't know why there are those who succeed and those who fail to meet their goals in life. In this article you will see some of the reasons why there are some who fail despite the effort of doing good.

1. Some people live by the expectation of others.
2. Some people do often imitate others rather than being themselves. Have you ever heard of parents saying to their children, "Can't you be like your brother/sister who always get high grades?" This is the exact reason why there are some people, instead of succeeding in their studies, fail to meet the standards because of the pressure they feel.
3. Some people are afraid to break traditionalism.
4. Some people are afraid of the consequences they might get to the point that they don't want to try anything at all.

The businessmen you know in the modern times never succeed by doing exact way some people did it before. They made a difference that is why they were noticed by the consumers. People should never be afraid of doing new things for it might not be recognized readily, I know as time pass by it will soon be.
5. Some people fail to learn spiritual knowledge.
6. Some people are very materialistic. There are many kinds of knowledge, but all of those are senseless unless you gain spiritual knowledge. What now if you get alot of money if God will end up your life tomorrow. We need to honor, if you don't believe in a God, perhaps a higher entity for you to be guided.
7. Some people are often easily distracted.
8. Some people are not focused on what they're doing. These two could be considered to be major contributors to the failure humans get. There are many beautiful and interesting things that surround us that is why there are many people that are distracted from what they're doing. Instead of being focus to a specific work, some people's mind are confused.
9. Some people are afraid to commit mistakes. There are many who do not even bother trying something because they are afraid that they might commit errors but think again, are those successful people never committed mistakes in life? Of course they did. We learn from our mistakes. Most of the things here in this world are made by trial and error, but once you get it right the price is more than right.
10. Some people love to fantasize instead of accepting the reality of this world.
11. Some people are just too lazy to do anything. Even in ancient writings and the bible testify that those who do not work shall never have a better life. How could you even have money if you don't work for it. There are those who even try to be a garbageman for the sake of earning money, but they even worth our salutations because at least they picked a noble profession other that just robbing a bank.
12. Some people are not humble enough to admit that they too have their faults. In anythings we do, we can never prevent accidents from happening but please do also admit sometimes that half of it is also your fault for being clumsy. Just like in any relationship may it be personal or professional, one should be humble enough to lower himself/herself down for the relationship to last long.
13. Some people are not often ready for 2nd options. There are some who are satisfied with mediocrity that they do not anymore consider having a backup ideas to cover their work.
14. They are very confident of themselves that they do not anymore consider asking for any help from others.
15. Some people do not accept criticisms.
16. They fail to maintain positivity. There are many people who always give up to easily when confronted with difficulties in life. People should always think twice that maybe this hardships that they face might be a blessing in disguise.
17. Some people fail to understand the true meaning of their lives.

For us to succeed we should always know first our real purpose of existence, else everything in us would be senseless. You could do this by self evaluation, reflection, or perhaps by taking a test.

The Parent Trap: 13 Tips for Teen Parenting

Guest Post by Juliane Elliot

Teenagers are complex and add drama to our lives. Teenagers can challenge even the most confident of parents. Here are some ideas to help you parent your teen.

The Parent Trap

Teenagers. The very word makes a usually patient human being roll their eyes. The teen years can be compared to the “terrible two stage” of child development. As parents, we all remember the “terrible two stage.” But nothing on earth can prepare us for the teen years.

Here are thirteen suggestions for success:

  1. Money is power. You are the parent and you control the cash. Appropriate behavior will follow. You teen needs money, like a fish needs water. Always bait the fish and gently remind your teen who has the credit card.
  2. Know your teen's friends and know their parents. Encourage your teen to hang out at your house. Parents can be in a different room of the house, yet still home to supervise.
  3. Don't be afraid to set the home rules and the limits. You are the still the ruler of your castle. Talk about the expectations that you have for your teen in your home and elsewhere. Your teen will listen, if you keep the dialog open and direct.
  4. School is first. It is before extracurricular activities, sports, parties and a social life. Teens need to be reminded that school is a priority.
  5. Establish a curfew and don't budge. If your teen wants the car Friday night, then they will abide by your curfew limits.
  6. Tell you teen that if they ever overdo the partying, that they can count on you for a safe ride home
  7. Encourage your teen to have friends of both genders. But don't encourage exclusive dating. Too often teens become involved in exclusive relationships and they don't know how to handle them.

Why Men Love Women

This is actually a reply to the post Why Men Love Women. I got a message from a friend asking if I'm interested in posting a reply post about her article, and I did not hesitate because I know that this may also interest you readers. Just got to mention this, she is one good writer. So why do men love women? There are several reason and the ones below may just explain it all. Some lines enclosed with the quotation marks are my own reasons why men love women.

"One thing about women is that most of them have the attitude of playing hard to get which men actually love. They always try to appreciate every thing they see even if it's not worth the effort."

I can't agree more. Women always care for their partners. They do not only go bold in bed to please men but they also cook when their partners are hungry, they massage their back when they're tired from their works, and women always see to it that they are there when their partners need them. Personally I can say that women do much of the effort to keep the house clean (Just talking about how my mother always scold me when my things are scattered around) but never expect something in return. They are always contented of what they have and never ask for more, but not in a way that they do not anymore consider enhancing themselves for the better. I must agree with the author, women may complain about anything but never about the things they do to obtain the beauty they want to have.


I don't actually have that personal experience with woman, but I know that they love to explore new things. They do not actually stick to the old rotten past but they love trying new things that suite the fashion of today but of course in a positive way.

In a recent study, it shows that men die younger than women, and that can be because they do not worry a lot about their problems. They do actually have this different way of solving problems because they do not keep their problems to themselves but they share them to their friends. They always get to have some advices and enlightenment from others. Unlike lying men, women are sincere in what they're saying especially when they say the words "I love you" to their partners.

"Women are more confident in handling things especially if it's about love. They do not just go for mediocrity because they always want the best for themselves and for their partners."


Yes, women also express the same feelings whenever they are not feeling good. A good thing about women is that they do not go physical when handling things but they focus more on a poetic manner. We just need to remember that "those who live by the sword shall die by the sword, and those who live by the pen shall die by the pen."
"They are versatile, and they never go on a journey unprepared literally."

What is amazing about women is that they can dress like men, while men cannot dress like women, is it not unfair? Some women are very meticulous that even if the world is already ending, they are still up to household chores.

This part of the article is very sensual, and other people may just enjoy reading this part, you can just go to site yourself. Not only are women good in faking orgasm, they are also just like a professional dramatic actress when they need something from their partners.

Women just have the capability to control men and let them revolve in their hands. I must agree that women's tears are just like those of the babies, they can affect those who are near them. It can be because of their soft and gentle aura.

"Women really know how to let their partners know that they need also to be loved."

The Journey Of Teen Parents


There are many teens who are now indulging themselves into premarital sex, common sense will tell us that problem will lead to another problem. Here is an article that will tackle the issue. This is just an introduction so just keep visiting my blog for more updates. God Bless You All!

  • Acceptance
The very reason for unwanted babies is due to teen rebellion. There are so many teens who run away from their homes because of forbidden love, but will eventually go back to their parents and will say, "Mom, dad I'm pregnant." Although there are some who were able to survive, there are also some who ended up thinking of abortion as the best solution. This article will mainly talk about how teens and their parents should accept the reality.

This is for the parents. We can never prevent things from happening. Although we do not want our sons and daughters' to have boyfriends and girlfriends, time will come that they will find their true love. For those parents who found out that their teens already have boyfriends or girlfriends it is best that you talk first in a light manner. The very reason your children indulge themselves into a secret relationships is because they think that you are not open for that topic and they feel that they can't approach you for some advices.

Well the best way to prevent yourself from becoming a teen parent is for you to have early prevention, but if it's already too late, then it's better that you you just accept the truth. It is better for parents and teens to just accept it because what more can they do. Personally I can totally relate to this not because I'm also a teen parent but because I know someone who is.

  • Raising the Child
The ultimate consequence of bringing a child at an early age is the great possibility of the child getting an illness. I know a child who has a sickness and it is really heart breaking to see the child crying because of the bullying and insults she gets in school. In connection to our topic, raising a child is not that easy task. You need to face emotional, financial, and other related problems. Teen parents should raise their child normally not secluding them from the society. There are so many teen parents who don't want their children to be seen by others because they feel that they will bring humiliation. Well now I must make this statement, "People bring their own problems that is why everyone is responsible for their own actions.

  • Maturity
As others would say it, "You'll never know what it feels like unless you experience it yourself." As the teen parents grow mature so is their children. The problem starts when their daughter enters college because money is of the essence with that matter. What should a teen parent do? Although there are some who feel ashamed, but the issue itself is not that enough reason to stop studying. Be a working student so that you can personally finance your studies. Once you graduate, you can have a more stable job to support your family.
