Failure is not a bad thing

As we all know, failure always leads to sufferings and even despairs, so nobody enjoys failure in general. There is no doubt that many individuals regard failure as a bad thing. However, in my opinion, I would like to argue that failure is not a bad thing but a path to success.

Here are several reasons to support my perspective. For one thing, failure lays a solid foundation for us to go places. Many great successful people in human history did not grow up and achieved their goals until they had learned a lot from failures. Just as the saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.” Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, is an excellent example. He designed hundreds of models before he found the right way to make one. For another thing, failure is a good discipline both physically and mentally, only when we go through such adversity can we make significant progress. Last but not least, failures certainly make you know who your real friends are. Those who spare no effort to help you in your tough time truly deserve your value, for they do love you from bottom of heart.

In general, failure is not a bad thing but the highway to success. Those who know how to deal with failure and learn a lesson from it will taste what success is all about.
