Failure is inevitable in life. We may have failed at some points in our lives but we should not let our failure stop us from achieving our goals. We should learn from it and forge ahead. An example of someone who failed and never gave up is, Thomas Edison, inventor, and businessman failed 1000 times while inventing the light bulb. Among Edison's 1093 inventions, only 15 of his inventions changed the world. But, he and many others before and after him learned something new and valuable every time they failed.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FAILURE
Changes Your Mindset
Most of us have the wrong mindset about failure. We think, once we have failed, it is the end. We should get rid of that kind of mindset. Failure should not be associated with defeat. Once we fail, we should learn from it and find another way to do what we've failed at rather than accept defeat. Failure is meant to bring us out of out comfort zone and challenges is to make great leap. We gain new perspective of the world around us. Failure is only a stepping stone to success. Winners win, not because they're special or they possess some super power but because they don't give up, they keep, striving to do things even after being faced with failure.
Failure has shaped all of our lives, from adolescence to adulthood, failure has been the ever-present, mad teacher in all things. If we always feared failure,we would be waking on eggshells and living a mediocre life. By learning from failure we can know our weakness and operate inside our zones of strength.
