Failure is a better teacher than success

One could be convinced that the more you fail in life, the better chances you have to learn from your mistakes and become successful. Failure leads 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 better teacher than failure. Some of my most terrifying memories involve 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
