We live in a competitive society that has big winners and big losers. Educators, motivation experts, life coaches, sport psychologists and other mentors mainly teach us how to approach success, how to be winners. Whereas, nobody can be the best teacher as a failure. Losing is not good but it has to happen, and is going to happen. Therefore, we need to know how to cope with the failure because failure is inevitable. There is a great quote about this case from J.K Rowling, who is an author, wrote the Harry Potter series. '' You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.'' So failure is beneficial for us.
First of all, failure enables us to try new things because failing person has to try new things to succeed. Therefore, it provides creativity for us. A Succesful person resists to changing. When we fail, there is a chance for thinking better. That is why all big successes always start with failure.
Another significant point of failure is to understand what caused the failure. It is a challange to success if we donot know what caused failure. It enables us to explore root causes of success and also make a detailed plan for success. After these, we have a better chance for success.
Finally, failure block monotony. Successful person has closed ears to take advices from others because (s)he thinks that (s)he doesn't need to take a advices so (s)he always repeat the same things.
To sum up, we can learnso many things from failures as creativity, understanding what causes failure and blocking repetition. According to these examples, we can understand failure is the best teacher for us and failure is key to big successes.
