One could be convinced that the more you fail in life, the better chances you have to learn from your mistakes and become successful. Failureleads to a greater understanding and wisdom for us to overcome our obstacles and have a better and brighter future. It is everyone’s dream to be successful, but this success is rarely given to anyone, because everyone has hurdles to get over and their own set of trials and tribulations. We can agree with this because life teaches us what is correct to do and what is not. What is really important in life are the lessons learned from these events, teaching you more about yourself and the task in which you are attempting to be successful in, and there is no betterteacherthan failure.
Some of my most terrifyingmemoriesinvolve my failure in many things. It does not mean I am not successful in life. I remember how I got very upset when I didn’t get a solo that I wanted when I was in eighth grade. That day, I thought the sky would fall because I was not going to be able to showcase my singing abilities. I was so disappointed that I didn’t want to sing anymore. I thought about it, and said to myself: I like singing, and if I try harder with more harmonies, I can get bigger, and even better solos. That next month, I tried out for another solo. I had practiced my runs, and harmonies so much that I almost lost my voice. I did such a good job, that I had made it to the Allstate Choral Festival in Savannah, Georgia. I got back up and tried again, and did just what I said I’d do. As you begin to develop the power from within, you learn that the only way to succeed is to lay everything on the line and try as hard as possible to make it work. Failure plays a huge role in the learning process. It teaches one about themselves, and how one can be better. Someone can study really hard for a test and fail the first time. Before that person takes that test again, they study even harder and pass! There’ll always be a chance for someone to shine after they fail. “ If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again.”
Failure forces someone to explore a different alternative, which may be more effective and satisfying. In order to be successful, you must THINK successful. It is common to make mistakes, but after doing wrong something once, twice or three times, it is almost impossible to make the same error a fourth time. One would try their best to improve things and feel very pleased to notice those improvements really happen. Being successful in everything means that one cannot know what failure represents. One who always sees the best part of things never feels defeated by the difficulties in life. Failure is a better teacher than success as early success can easily get into the head and cause arrogance, whereas failure leads one to become humble, compassionate, and understanding. Troubles and failures make people appreciate what they have, remain content, and stay motivated. Constant success may make people lose sight and appreciation for what one has, vainly trying to over-achieve. Early success usually leads to over confidence and a false perspective of one’s abilities and realities. Failure helps one understand that their capabilities are limited, and can very often bring out the best in a person, becoming a cause for him or her to put in their best foot forward.
In the end, we can say that one in life needs to make mistakes in order to better appreciate things. He should know never to repeat the same errors, even if the circumstances were different. Failure teaches people what defeat means and how can one feel ashamed in front of a group of people. But at the same time, it can teach you how important it is to fight, to get something you wish for in life.
