How to win over the fear of failure / future

Once a day I was thinking that why do people get suicide, I looked around, went through suicide cases of newspaper/articles, talked to people & finally arrived on a conclusion that in almost all suicide cases primary cause is the fear of failure , it could be fear of getting into top business school/college, fear of getting desirable jobs, fear of happy married life/ relationship, fear of getting good marks/grades & so on. When you don’t get any of the desired thing in your life. You get into immense stress of mind & go for the hard step to quit your life. 

Fear of Failure –

Suppose you’ve worked hard to get good grades in school but somehow you get lower grades than expected. At the minute you get stress with a bundle of negative thoughts. Here, fear of failure comes in, when you start thinking that you won’t get good college/university after this or you forget about a dream career or your parents are gonna kill you or your rival mate has got more marks than you, which is gonna put you down somewhere or your life is finished now, there is nothing for you in this world. In a way, you ruined your future yourself by bringing stress on mind. You stick to false negative thoughts because you never know what is gonna be next in future.

Fear of failure could be responsible for thousands of your problems of life which you never know. It ruins your present because you are engaged in fear of failure / future at present. You forget efficiency in your current / present task when you engaged with future because your mind is divided into two things. When there is no control over present, there is going to be mess in your life.
