Is Failure a Bad Thing


Failure is common in our lives. Now we're living in a complex and competitive society in which there are many things we can't be sure of. If we explore a new field that no one else has ever entered, or if we don't make enough preparation before we perform a task, most probably we will have to face failure. Different people take different attitudes towards failure. Some lose hearts and think the world is at its end; some try to find excuses and are indifferent to the consequences while some others learn much from their failures and therefore see the light of hope through failures. I think what really matters is not failure itself but how we approach it. As long as we don't give up but believe in ourselves, and in the meantime draw a lesson from failure, we'll certainly succeed in the end. So I'm never afraid of failure, for I believe "failure is the mother of success".

I agree with you that failure is the mother of success. I think there is no such thing as failure, just opportunites to learn more! Keep up the good attitude!
