How do you deal with failure?

Dr. Travis Bradberry writes at Linked In,

According to Psychologist Carol Dweck, success in life is all about how you deal with failure.

Bradberry gives us some of Dweck's research, then offers these suggestions:

Don’t stay helpless. ... Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star because he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas,” Oprah Winfrey was fired from her job as a TV anchor in Baltimore for being “too emotionally invested in her stories,” Henry Ford had two failed car companies prior to succeeding with Ford, and Steven Spielberg was rejected by USC’s Cinematic Arts School multiple times. Imagine what would have happened if any of these people had a fixed mindset. They would have succumbed to the rejection and given up hope. People with a growth mindset don’t feel helpless because they know that in order to be successful, you need to be willing to fail hard and then bounce right back.

Be passionate. Empowered people pursue their passions relentlessly. There’s always going to be someone who’s more naturally talented than you are, but what you lack in talent, you can make up for in passion. Empowered people’s passion is what drives their unrelenting pursuit of excellence.

Take action.

Then go the extra mile (or two).

Expect results.

Be flexible.People with an empowered, growth-oriented mindset embrace adversity as a means for improvement, as opposed to something that holds them back.

Don't complain when things don't go your way.
