Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is a common thing in our daily life. As a student, we sometimes fail to get high scores in our examinations. When we play games we can’t avoid being beaten by the others. And these failures happen naturally and almost everyone of us has such experience.
However there are different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart in failure, they think the world is at its end. Some people don’t take failure seriously, they just let it be, while some others learn much from failure and therefore see the light of hope through failure.
In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and do after failure. As long as we don’t give up and believe in ourselves and in the meantime learn something from failure, we’ll certainly make our marks in the end. So I’m never afraid of failure, for I believe that failure is not a bad thing, “failure is the mother of success.” |
