You can do things right and still not make it.

[Queen uloma]

I agree with you, most times you can do things in a good way and life won’t go the way you expected it too. Life it self doesn’t reward hard work immediately, some setbacks isn’t  really your fault. The most important thing is not to give up because of bad luck.

 If you  fall, gather yourself together, learn from what has happened and start all over again. It’s patience and persistence that makes one to finally succeed in life.

Sometimes, you can do everything you were supposed to do and still not get the result you expected. You can work hard, stay disciplined, make sacrifices, and still face setbacks . That doesn't always mean you failed or that you did something wrong.  One thing you should bear in mind is that Life doesn't always reward effort immediately. Sometimes, timing,opportunities, and things beyond your control also play a role of that. The important thing in life is that you should not let one disappointment convince you that your efforts are useless or is learn is not important from what happened, adjust your approach, and keep moving.

Giving up is the worst mistake any body looking to become successful will ever make maybe  if failure hits  because I believe winers never quit and quitters never win, such is the principle of life.
Many gave time, resources and energy but ends up not succeeding maybe because they mix something on the process but with consistent pushing, commitment and dedication it will in turn show up but those that gives up on the process finds it difficult winning.
Over 80 percent of successful people today never made it once but with constant pushing even after failing.

[Dicee]

I strongly believe that everything life has to offer be it good or bad has a specific lessons to teach, Still not making it in life after perfectly following the right procedure also gives one the opportunity to learn more and to be strong. When they talk about been experienced about something, it's not possibly how many wins you've gotten but rather how many fails have you surpassed, The castle may fall off but the ability to rebuild and build better is still there.

[IcaroAugusto]

Good point. It’s not about guaranteeing success, but giving yourself the best shot, and even if it falls apart, you learn something for the next castle.

[programmer3666]

But here is the secret, because you already know how to build the castle right, you can get more sand and build even a stronger castle. People who do things right still might get knocked down, but because they are persistent and determined,  they are the ones that gets up and try again until they get it right...

In reality, I feel luck dominates everything because hard work and doing things the right way is just like the quarter percent of the equation that drives success and raw luck and perfect timing handle the rest. You can work 18 hours a day and watch a lazy coworker get swiftly promoted just because they are close friends with the boss or Hr. The world does not really revolve around a merit system where good deeds get rewarded or equate to wealth. So accepting the fact that luck dominates life does not mean you should give up but it free you from blaming yourself whenever things happen on a random basis, which is no fault of your own.

Doing the right things gives you a chance of success, things might not be going well with you immediately then what you’ve to do is keep doing the good right things, life might not reward you immediately but you have to keep being yourself, I don’t really believe in bad luck’ I feel that if you’re doing the right things in any endeavors, if it doesn’t work today keep doing it tomorrow might be the day” I don’t believe in any luck, what is meant to happen is going to happen, good things doesn’t come easily it takes a lot of patience to achieve some certain things which is why people say patience is a virtue.

Sometimes persistence can be a trap, because simply waking up and rebuilding the exact same castles is how many people waste their entire lives in frustration. Sometimes it is best to pack your bags and walk away from the beach, that will be the smart financial decision to make. If you keep pouring your energy, time and savings into a business or job that keeps failing and pulling you down, then that is not determination but stubbornness. Good wisdom is knowing when a project has no headway, just cut your losses and move on.

Rather than quitting the project, it is better to see if a partnership will help the business. Partner with other businesses that can solve the problem you are facing, since every problem has a solution in business.

It depends on whether the business owner dislikes partnership. If he dislikes it, he should hire a manager who knows the business and pay him handsomely to achieve success. From there, he can learn from the manager and sack him whenever he feels he has learned a few things to handle it alone.

The important thing in life is that you should not let one disappointment convince you that your efforts are useless or is learn is not important from what happened, adjust your approach, and keep moving.

Only hard work will always bring results immediately, life is not that easy. Sometimes the same effort can bring results quickly for one person, while another person has to wait a long time to reach the same place and even after many attempts, he cannot reach his destination. Suppose someone starts a small business and has been calculating from the beginning, then due to the bad market or a large decrease in customers, there may be no profit for a few months at first. Therefore, it cannot be said that his plan or hard work was completely wrong. For me, the real issue is, if the expected results do not come, where was the deficiency and what was not under his control, what was the person's mistake and he was not able to correct it, these three things should be looked at separately. Because each failed attempt gives an experience to take the next decision a little better, people learn from mistakes.

There are many people who stop after getting a setback at first, they could have changed their situation. There are many who hold on to that place even after failing in their attempts and later find themselves in a much better place. So it's natural to be disappointed, but it's not right to turn that disappointment into a decision. The most important thing is to give yourself time, correct where you're going wrong, get what people want and get it, and earn people's trust.

Let's imagine you are at the beach and you decide to play with sand to build a big, beautiful castle out of a sand.

You follow all rules on the box, you mix the sand well with good water, mould the sand to the perfect shape of the castle you are building, and carefully crafting the edges and sides of the castle, you did everything 100% right and you got a very beautiful and solid castle.

You stand back to look at the amazing castle you built. But all of a sudden your fluffy dog runs past and wiggles his tail. The tail hits your castle, and all the sand fell down to the floor.

Did you do something wrong, No! You did everything right and perfect . But the castle fell anyway.

That's just your own way of explaining the whole scenario, have you ever thought that what if he moulded the beautiful and solid castle art using a solid material like a good clay or using plaster of Paris (pop) or even used cement or even carved the whole thing on a wood, would the wagging tail of a dog destroy it?

Sometimes we need to build something on a solid foundation before we blame others for what we would have prevented. Sometimes we blame others for our misfortune why we are the architect of it all. I know your point implies that some things happens naturally that we can't prevent it, but not in the case of this first paragraph of yours.

[Joy- maker]

Everything cannot go down the way you want it because you cannot control nature and things around you which is the reason why you don't need to get fustrated after putting all your best in a project and you get disappointed. Those who you think will be there for you when you need them most might turn their back on you that doesn't mean that you wouldn't overcome the challenges that you're passing through at that moment.

What matters is that you don't give up in your goal no matter the challenges that comes with it because to be successful in life isn't an easy task. Patience and consistency in whatever, you are doing will take you a long way to succeed in it.

At times it is best you don't plan, just go with the flow and see where life takes you. A few days ago I made a plan on how to achieve something, but things didn't go as expected, so instead of forcing things to happen according to my plan I decided to relax, go with the flow and let things unfold naturally, although I'm not happy with how things went off but there is nothing I could do, sometimes life has a way of taking you places you never planed to go.

[kingstep]

Doing things right like being kind, working hard, and eating healthy meals like veggies helps protect you and give you the chance to win. But still, you end up not getting promoted at work, you end up still suffering from illness, you end being treated badly from those you were kind to.

You will not always get the reward that is proportionate to the effort you have put into what you are doing and sometimes after helping people, you might not see them appreciate ng you the way you desire. that is just life but that does not mean that we should not do the right thing anyways. Life is not always s we expect and this is why while planning for things, you have to give allowance for an uncertain event. life can happen and things might go wrong at some point, you have to prepare for all of those things and be ready to embrace them if they eventually happen.

[Berry2d]

One great lesson life have thought me is never to expect anything in return from the good we do at all time, as the day goes different things are seen and the unbelievable still happens but that should not be a reason we will consider deviating from the positive path of life we have chosen to live.
In some occasions, many right path are chosen but because we can't tell what the future has we are made to go against the truth at times but the best decision of life is never to quit even when things are not going as planned because everything i see and know happens for a reason, so if things never goes as planned we need not to quit but keep pushing because good things don't come easily.
