fails
999 times,
and if he
succeeds once,
he’s in.
~~ Charles Kettering

Failure is lacking the success or the inability to achieve a determined expectation. Is failure good or bad? Is failure beneficial? Can we learn from our failures?

Failure is beneficial and an essential aspect of our self-development. Albert Einstein stated, “ Failure is success in progress”. How is failure beneficial?

When you know and accept failure as a possibility, you learn to not let fear of failure hold you back. You accept that failure is apart of trying. Sometimes you fail, other times you succeed. However, if you never try you won’t have the opportunity for failure or success. Therefore, you always need to push yourself to keep trying.

The following are some of the many failure of failure:

I can’t
give you
a recipe
for success,
but
I can
give you
a recipe
for failure:
try to
please
everybody.
~~ Frank Langella
