Learning Requires Faliure

Learning Requires Failure

Now this won't be too enthusiastic for you but in the light of a personal experience,  I think that failure is not the end of the world. But the fear to fail might direct you away from success. If a person has failed in past, the fear of failing again might keep him away from future embarrassment. I comprehend failure to be an inherent part of a remarkably successful person. J.K. Rowling is an inspiration to us all and I have read most of her work but this quote here truly fits the frame,
"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might have not lived at all, in which case you have failed by default."

Why Failure is Important

I'd rather say that failure is an important part of life because without failure, we'd be less capable of experience, empathy, kindness, capability and we would be less likely to reach for the moon and stars. Failure teaches you about yourself. You would be capable of doing much more if you know yourself. Your failure means that you have specs of courage and power to endure. Now at the certain for my readers, there is something I'd like to confess...
I have failed so many times in my life than I can admit. And believe me, I am not talking about small failures but the ones that completely rock your world and if you are anything like me, you have also likely failed many times. Now I won't say that I like anyone of you enjoy failing, but failure through its life-altering lessons make us a better person.

Failure is a Process Not a Destination

Food for thought, there is a movement in education that signifies and promotes failure. No one actually wants to fail but failing is inevitable if you are doing something worth doing, something indefatigable and something amazing. Many of you now would be thinking about why failure is not a destination but as we know destination is the end of a journey. So when failure is destination, there's nothing more to achieve and your start becomes the end. Failure is another event in course of life. Experiencing I or 100 failure does not make you a failure. Failure is just an opportunity to learn more often.

What can we Learn from Failure

I am so motivated by Winston Churchill as he aptly said,
"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never give in. Nothing great or small, large or pretty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to overwhelming might of the enemy."
