Is Failure Bad?

This is a lesson about failure.
Is failure a bad thing? Failure often happens. It is everywhere in our life.
Students may fail their exams, scientists may fail in their experiments, and athletes may fail in competitions.
Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure vary.
Some people don’t think of their failures as very important at all.
They pay no attention to them. As a result, they will have the same failure again.
Some people think of themselves as fools and lose heart in everything after they meet failure.
Consequently, they spend their time and energy on useless things and they may be the fools that they thought themselves to be.
Other people are quite different from the two kinds of people mentioned earlier.
Instead of being distressed and lost, they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced.
After hard work, they will be successful in the end.
It is said that failure is the mother of success.
Success will be gained after times of failure so long as we are good at drawing lessons from our failures.
In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing.
The really bad thing is taking failure as nothing but a failure or even to lose heart after failure.

"Failure is the mother of success", now, I understand this saying well.
It is hard to fail, it is hard not to loose heart even if you see the lesson achieved by the failure and how to turn a failure into a success, I think.
When the success is achieved, you feel better.

The ability to stand aside and watch ourselves as we live through it all allows us to treat ourselves as children, with encouraging words, cries of joy and cries of sadness. But through it all we can love the self as it both traverses the rougher ground and takes wing in rainbow colored skies.
