Success & Failure

Shiva holds both (moon or soma, the nectar of life and visha or poison which brings death) and is always in meditation. It indicates that our lives are full of pairs of opposites: life and death, joy and sorrow, honour and dishonour, success and failure. We should be able to bear these opposites with calmness of mind and not let them destroy our mental equipoise. ~Vision of Shiva

I was successful the day, I started working without giving a sh*t about success! ~SSR ~sushantquotes

Our present definition of success needs serious retuning. ~SSR ~sushantquotes 2

I'd value a massive failure more than a mediocre success. ~SSR

I'd prefer a massive failure over a mediocre success. ~SSR ~WritingWithSush

I want to fail but it should not be a mediocre failure. It should be massive. Ek ahsaas karne ke liye it is important to fail badly and destroy me as an individual. At the same time I don't want mediocre success either. ~SSR ~Justice78602373 ~WritingWithSush ~oath4ssr

" ... it is okay to fail ... " - this is the message of the film Chhichhore.

“Just doing good work matters to me. I might be doing TV or theatre, movies, for that matter open a canteen in a film city, or work on my short films. I don’t have the fear of failure.”

I'm not afraid of failure: Sushant Singh Rajput 2

"I want to fail and fail for the right reasons. I really want us to be exposed to all the wonderful cinema. It is not that we don't know right now. It is because we are very fearful. I am just trying to break through that shackle and till now I have survived."

 "I know that box office numbers matter and if my films fail, which is a high possibility as I keep doing things that I don't know, I will go back to TV or theatre."

I want to fail and fail for the right reasons: Sushant Singh Rajput

"I don't have the fear of failure. Doing good work is what matters to me."~SSR ~Sushish_21

“Now, I’ve created my own markers of success. At that time, I was young in the industry, I was looking for it. That validation. Now I don’t, so it doesn’t hurt,”

Sushant Singh Rajput On Love, #MeToo And Getting His Due In Bollywood | HuffPost Entertainment

"No, failure of a film doesn't scare me. But I am aware it has repercussion. It doesn't scare me because I started (acting) when I quit Delhi College of Engineering and I was doing theatre... I was staying with six guys in a single room...," Sushant told IANS.

"When I was doing theate or TV, I was thinking that 'Okay, I have to slog right now because one day I will be successful'. I was successful then... Be it theatre, TV or films I don't care... As long as I act."

Failure doesn't scare me, says Sushant Singh Rajput

When Sushant was asked how he reacted to Raabta's massive failure at the box office, he had told Man's World, "I want to fail, again and again. I think we are too cautious and careful. We need to make some room for failure, but for the right reasons. I want to try new things every time. That's my high. When you consistently do that, you might not know how to, and might stumble or fail, but that's okay." ~filmibeat

Sushant's Films

Sushant had incorporated lot of hidden messages from his biopic story in the film Raabta. Still he was not much perturbed by the failure.

No matter what happens on the Friday of my release, I'm mentally back to this excited, neutral state by Monday. Acting is what I enjoy doing, and not necessarily what I'm supposed to do, so I don't feel the need to be cautious. The 'why' of doing what I do is nonnegotiable and will never change. ~SSR ~filmibeat ~mansworldindia ~Justice78602373 ~WritingWithSush

Success and failure were not affecting Sushant as he was excited & enjoying what he was doing & in flow. Acting alternately mean Social Acting. He was acting to change🦋 the starworld🌌 (= celebrityworld).

“But on Monday, I’m back to normal. Whether it’s Dhoni, which opened well, or Byomkesh which didn’t.” ~huffpost

Sushant was affected by success & failure only for a few days.

Absolutely it is the time, when we should be okay enough to encourage failure rather than success. ~SSR ~WritingWithSush

Massive failures are mandatory..that's the essence of success ..!! #TillIGetItRight #fitness #shooting ~SSR ~nonayousef7

"I love failure. It might sound unreal but I enjoy it. I crave it. But if there is one thing that I don't want is to be mediocre." ~SSR ~filmfare ~itsOmSarraf_ ~4dharma_andDesh ~TheSsrian

Sushant Singh Rajput: My philosophy of success in life is to find different ways of failing

We have to punish mediocre successes & reward excellent failures. ~SSR ~sushantquotes

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly - Kennedy #MSDhoniTheUntoldStory  #KeepTrying ~SSR ~nonayousef7

“The entire process will bore you until and unless you get something, and it will just hit you for like a few days, and then again. So, it’s like 95 per cent of boredom and 5 per cent of excitement. But if you do something every day that excites you, you’ll get all those things; you’ll get the spikes in between, at the same time, you are enjoying the entire process.”

“Failures, it’s extremely important. I think I would value a massive failure more than a mediocre success.”

‘Do something every day that excites you’: Sushant Singh Rajput

Here Sushant is talking about success or failure of people understanding Chanda Mama Doo Ke : The Untold Story. He wanted to change🦋 the starworld🌌 for betterment by revealing its truth to the world (starworld = celebrityworld). Hence acting for this goal without worrying about results.

When you want to fall- fall.
Evaporate and condensate,
but when you rain, come down
as a hurricane. - Shinjimoon ~SSR

Sushant wished for a massive success to change the starworld🌌 (= celebrityworld) topography by uniting people through story spiral➰ to generate a social hurricane🌪️. He wasn't afraid to sacrifice himself for this cause as elaborated in Crucifixion✝️ & Resurrection.

I don't fear failures and I try not to be to careful in life to succeed, because if you'll not fail ever, you'll never hit that fresh and new success in your art. ~SSR ~WritingWithSush

"Being careful is the problem. You need to learn how not to be careful." ~SSR ~quotesofssr

"You need to learn how not to be careful about things." ~SSR ~WritingWithSush

“You need to learn how not to be careful, you need to try different things only then once in like hundred times, two hundred times, you will hit on something that’s completely fresh and that’s going to change everything for everybody. So, it’s extremely important to fail because without failure, you cannot get something new or fresh.” 1 2 3 4

Sushant is talking about his story narrated as an Alternate Reality Game (ARG). He will try to narrate his story in different ways so that we can understand it. We are also supposed to try by attaching different meanings to what he is narrating. This is the way we hit upon what he is trying to say. Once his message is understood definitely people will act unitedly to change🦋 the existing social system.

Trying new things, I might not know how to, and might fail, but that’s okay. No matter what happens, I’m mentally back to this excited, neutral state. Acting is what I enjoy doing, and not what I’m supposed to do, so I don’t have to be cautious. ~SSR ~WritingWithSush

Sushant was doing things which he wanted to do. He was excited & enjoying the process of doing it without worrying about failure & future by living in the presence. Check the post Maslow's Pyramid for details on doing what you enjoy.

Without Failure You Cannot Get Anything | Sushant Singh Rajput | Incredible You

Not a care in the world 🌎 ~SSR ~nonayousef7

Sushant was enjoying excitement of living in the presence without worrying about success & failure. Of course, the world is absurd & why should care about it & its phenomena?

We need to have an education that helps us to make the right decisions. We need to accept that it is okay to fail as long as we are trying to do something new. It is okay not to repeat the world & not to be careful as long as we are doing something new. ~SSR ~quotesofssr

Sushant wanted to be innovative in his approach to defeat Orion😈 with repeating the errors committed by others. But he was not afraid of failures while trying new techniques.

Of course by trying different ways only successful communication can happen.

And there are chances that I would fail but we should be more liberal to failures. Failures are very under appreciated. So we should if an actor is trying to do something new and he fails, he shouldn’t be completely erased. They should be given a chance so that they can do this again and again so that they can come up with something really fresh. So I feel there are chances that I would fail and it is very good. I want massive failures.

Sushant Singh Rajput on why he’s not afraid of FAILURE!

Sushant is telling himself as well as his future bioreplicas to go on trying alternate narrative techniques without worrying about failures in communicating their actual message. (check also the interview Bollywood Mirchii : IFFI Awards 2017 in the post Sushant's Interviews & Speeches).

Sushant is telling the same thing in the following three quotes also. Note that Sushant is telling his story through an iterative model. Hence same thing will be repeated again and again but with different words so that at least one of them his audience or observer will understand finally to make the mission successful.

"I want to fail, again and again. I think we are too cautious and careful. We need to make some room for failure, but for the right reasons. I want to try new things every time. That's my high. When you consistently do that, you might not know how to, and might stumble or fail, but that's okay."

Throwback Thursday: When Sushant Singh Rajput talked about facing failures in life

The actor said, “You have to accept what has happened. You’re making films for the audience, you can’t say unko samajh nahi aayi (they didn’t understand). Agar unko samajh nahi aayi tumhari galti hai (It’s your fault if they didn’t understand). You can’t say, ‘We were ahead of our time’. No, you’re making films for that time, you have to connect to the audience. Where did you fail? You have to figure that out.”

The film Sushant was making is his biopic Chanda Mama Door Ke : The Untold Story as per his wish mentioned in the following dream,

#SSRDream-29/150.❤️ Write & direct a short story/film

Sushant wanted to blame himself if his audience failed to understand the message hidden in it. He wanted to analyze where did he made mistakes by interacting with audience and rectify those mistakes in the next iterations.

“‘Success aur failure ke beech line hoti hai, Dhoni was like that and I want to be like that’. He used to say when there was a failure, Dhoni is calm and if anything is good he still used to be calm,” Ankita said during her exclusive interview.

“He said if there was a failure he will bounce back. He used to find happiness in small things. He used to provide education to kids, stargaze, this was his happiness. But he cannot die for this. He cannot die for this,” she added.

' I failed ' is 10 times better than ' what if '

Sushant wanted to try & fail rather than to give up without trying.

For Sushant, his love for our mothers & children was a worthy cause to pursue the dreamy Chanda Mama Door Ke Enlightenment mission to save them from #Orion😈's horde in spite of all possibilities of failing in the mission.

Being Careful Is The Problem.. || Sushant Singh Rajput
We should give room to failures, says Sushant Singh Rajput
We Are Too Careful. We Should Fail For The Right Reasons

The first thing is the experience. I really slogged in Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! and I learnt a lot. ..., but it didn’t work on the Friday. I was disappointed and shattered. Although I was getting the kind of appreciation, but nobody was watching it. But on Monday morning, I was completely fine. ... And it happened exactly the same way with Dhoni, it opened massively and I was flying, but by Monday, I said ‘you should be flipping’ but I was completely okay. ... Just by doing this, I put myself at risk because I don’t know how to do it, there are more chances of me failing than succeeding. ...  We are too careful, we should fail, for the right reasons. It’s not like I’m taking it easy in this one and failing, I’m trying something and then failing which is very good, because one in ten times when I will succeed, that will be very personal and fresh. So, we should give room to failures.

We should give room to failures, says Sushant Singh Rajput

I put myself at risk because I don’t know how to do it - Sushant wanted to live in flow with excitement & happiness. For that he was taking up challenges or risks without worrying about success or failure of his mission to save our mothers & children from sex slavery. Check the post Rise of a Super Man (Stoicism, Flow)

I put myself at risk everytime because I don't know how to do it. So, there is more chances of me failing than succeeding. ... I was so excited. There was nothing that would give me happiness that I used to do with theatre. ...

Film Companion Studios

Taking risks & facing challenges without worrying about success or failure leads to flow, excitement & then happiness on success.

“Success and failure are equally disorienting if you are obsessed about them. You are invincible when you are attending to experience..." ~SSR 1 2 3

Success and failure are equally disorienting, if you are obsessed about them. 💥🦋🌪❤🔱💫

Sushant's Alternate Reality Game (ARG) is a deadly game. There were chances that mafia will decode & understand it before SSRians. But his love for our mothers & children was driving him to play this game with all excitement. For him, experiencing excitement was more important than success or failure!

Excitement & Happiness
Excitement of Living in the Presence

" ... failure ... excitement ... several right ways of doing it ... " 10:08-11:31

"Life will Surprise you..." | Sushant Singh Rajput | Anupama Chopra | Film Companion

instagram#72 ... They Are a-Changin :-) ...

Sushant was evolving his story, the story had to be narrated in a way that right audience can understand it. He had to narrate it in multiple ways so that audience can get some clues. But he was finding it difficult to adapt his story to new ways to provide clues. Hence there were chances of failure. Still he was continuously trying to his best without worrying about success or failure.

Sushant has narrated same thing in many of his interviews. Check,

Sushant's Interviews & Speeches

Failure is only a stepping stone to #success... buck up @isro
 .. here is hoping you bounce back with twice the spirit.. ALWAYS #PROUD OF YOU ~DD News

Sushant had retweeted the above DD News tweet.

Success is overrated. You are applying meaning to an experience. So failure is another but significant experience. ~SSR ~i_pallabi ~。💕💘💕。

Karmayogi Sushant

Failures and success are subjective. ~SSR ~WritingWithSush

Failures and success are subjective experiences. It depends upon person how do he take it. It is not that Sushant wasn't at all worried about failure. He was worried a bit as per the following quote.

That's what I'll be. A silhouette, rarely seen, and yet believed in. ~SSR ~quotesofssr

Sushant was worried that people will just have cursory idea from his narratives without understanding details of his coded biopic story, he will be just an unlighted silhouette. People will not understand his love for our mothers & children enslaved in the starworld (= celebrityworld) and will not act as per his wish against pedophiles & sextraffickers. Still he was doing his karma (= action) without worrying about result.

Actually Sushant quoted above Ellen Hopkins quote which further hints at the unfulfilled wish for cloning or bioreplicating.

“That's what I'll be. A silhouette, rarely seen, and yet believed in. Kaeleigh wants to believe in me. I am her twin, forever alive inside her. And when she needs me, I am always here.” ~Ellen Hopkins, Identical

Failure should be cultivated as it liberates success!! ~SSR ~selfmusing

Sushant was a successful Karmayogi liberated from failure. Failure liberates success if one learns lessons from failures, identify the faults & not repeat the faults.

The best thing is to accept the circumstances, not take them personally, deal with them, stop complaining, and give everything your best. ~SSR ~brainyquote ~Bryan Sagray

The above lines means what is quoted from Bhagavad Gita below.

“कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥” — श्री कृष्ण 🔱

The message of the above two quotes is to give up ego, enjoy the journey as such by living in the presence with excitement without bothering about success or failure. He was intoxicated💫 & self-fulfilled hence not worried about his solitude.

Richness of self....#Amazing_Solitude..!! ~SSR ~AllThingsSSR ~NonaSushant

Sushant was doing his duties without bothering about success & failure, still he firmly believed in the law of attraction.

Karma Yoga vs Law of Attraction
Law of Attraction : according to Bhagavad Gita

Whatever I am today, and whatever I am going to do, is the collective result of my achievements and mistakes. I love them equally. ~SSR ~sushantquotes ~quotesofssr

Achievements mean successes and mistakes lead to failures.

On any given Sunday we're gonna win or we're gonna lose. The point is - can we win or lose like a man? ~SSR ~JustForSushant

The following answer of Sushant also means to do what we want to do without worrying about success or failure. what you want to do is further explained in the post Rise of a Super Man (Stoicism, Flow).

Q: Is it difficult to make it in the industry without a godfather?
A: I don’t think so. ... Ultimately, it’s the kind of projects you choose and whether people are interested in watching them or not. If you draw the line between what people want and what you want to do, then nothing can stop you. ... But as we grow we start confusing things. I call it analysis by paralysis. We analyse too much and paralyse ourselves. You worry too much about the fate of the film. ... ~filmfare ~tribuneindia ~WritingWithSush

The following quote means that the people who are not worried about success & failure get inspired by Sushant.

Only people who would if not already inspire will see any well intentioned pursuit to be inspiring, even if the outcomes are still negotiable.
 ~SSR ~selfmusing ~AdityaC20727886 ~quotesofssr 4 5

Overcoming ego 2 or attaining self-transcendence level of Maslow's Pyramid is essential for being successful as mentioned in the quote below. Sushant wanted core team members (see Sushant's Diary Pages SSR Diary Page 1, Note 7: Lobby of Influencers) to be selfless & cooperative with each other. The Law of Attraction also stresses on the need for overcoming self or ego to attain advaita state of supreme consciousness or awareness.

"We think we always strive for success but often we create conditions for failure ahead of time to protect our ego without being aware of it." ~SSR ~BappaManab24 ~Sushant Singh Rajput Fanclub ~soumyajit2029

I've been successful in my mind since the time I packed my bags from engineering college. ~SSR ~WritingWithSush

In the last quote, Sushant understood what he wanted to do, followed his heart, fulfilled his basic needs as explained in the post Maslow's Pyramid & then realized self-actualization by becoming what he was.

However, Sushant wanted to be successful & be an achiever. He was doing everything to attract success as explained in the post The Law of Attraction but without bothering about success & failure.

"I don’t believe in being a celebrity. I believe in being an achiever." ~SSR ~diksha4SSR

But he didn't want to be a normal star (= celebrity) but a black hole or an Agent of Change🦋. He was selecting roles suitable to achieve this.

I am not saying that those who crave for conventional stardom are wrong in their aspirations. But that's not what I want. ~SSR ~brainyquote ~WritingWithSush 3 4

Sushant was not worried about success & failure of his films as he was enjoying while acting itself & through it he was narrating his own biopic story exposing evil elemensts of the starworld🌌.

Q: Are there any lessons you learnt from the failure of the film?
SSR: Yes, that there are no lessons to learn. I’m not here to accumulate money or count the number of hit films under my belt. There are no takeaways. ~mansworldindia
