One of the main factors for growing and leading is learning from losses. (SOMETIMES YOU WIN...SOMETIMES YOU LEARN) is a great book written by John C. Maxwell that will teach us how to learn from losses. There are 11 factors necessary to learn from losses mentioned in the book.
The fifth factor is (Hope...The motivation for learning). John W. Gardner said: "The first and last leader's responsibility is keep the hope live". Napoleon Bonaparte said: "Leaders are hope merchants". This proves that hope is very important factor in our life.
The importance of hope comes from that it provides the motivation to live and learn. Hope will also provide us with energy. It said that a person can live forty days without food, four days without water, four minutes without air, but he can't live more than four seconds without hope.
Having hope will make the difference. Story of British prime minister Winston Churchill proved that hope played a fatal role in world second war. He said clearly that the most important weapon he had was hope.
How will we get hope? the author suggests three points to achieve that:
1) We should know that hope is an option.
2) We should change our way of thinking.
3) We should win some small achievements.
Hope is power and it is an important factor for success in life beside being a great motivation to learn.
