Failure Is The Key To Succeed

Failure is the key to success Failure and success are probably two of the most influential words in the world. People hear them, live by them, and in a way compete because of them. Life is made up of successes and failures. So it doesn't make much difference whether people are successful or not. However, nobody will always succeed in achieving his or her goals. As the old saying goes, "Failure teaches success." It is true that failure is an important factor toward success. In order to succeed, people should face failure correctly and learn from it.
Failure is such a common thing that people should face it correctly. The video “Famous Failure Video” says, “If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived.” Almost everyone experiences in his life, which is one of the most painful things. However, people are destined to face challenges in life, so life is not easy. The way to success is full of various difficulties and obstacles. Michael Jordan lost almost 300 games and missed more than 9000 shots in his career. He “failed over and over and over again” before he succeeded. People who have the confidence to overcome challenges and failures in life will eventually succeed. People who have not tasted failure don't know of success. Failures should not result in a negative attitude, because it acts as a stumbling block in the way to success. In an essay called “Failures and Success” Chris Brogan says failure is a good thing that leads people to try something different. He even urges people to get failures early. He also shows some famous examples of failure. Sam Walton failed in sales at his Ben Franklin store before he built Wal-Mart. Henry Ford’s automobile company succeed after two of his companies failed. Invention and success are the result of hard work and sustained effort. All the inventors and successful people met with failures on the way, but they never quit their work, and they worked harder and harder with positive attitude until they succeeded. Thomas Edison said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.” (Brogan 6) Not being courageous to face failures correctly, people have no chance to enjoy the pleasure of success. After accepting failure, people also should learn form it. People achieved success after a long battle with failures, only because they learned from their failures. Every failure is a stepping-stone to success. It reveals the weakness that must be overcome. It informs people about the problems that must be fixed. It inspires people to put in more effort. It gives people the direction of the right way to success. In the essay “Failures and Success” Chris Brogan says, “The key part of failure is learning and adapting and moving on.” (Brogan 6) Failure is filled with valuable experience that people can obtain. Therefore, people need to examine their failures, which will guide them to success. Sometimes, the attempt proves to be a failure, but success is the result of hard work and firm determination. In the essay “Zero” Paul Logan tells us about his story of failing all the classes in college and how he became a successful student with 4.0 GPA. Logan used to be popular in high school because he was a cool kid. After he went to college, he realized that he could not be popular any more and he failed all the classes in the first semester. Then, he dropped out and found a job of pushing carts at a large warehouse store. After he was embarrassed at being seen by his friends, he decided to change his attitude and went back to college. He learned his lessons from his failures and worked hard. He said, “Failures can be a learning experience – one that builds strength and give direction.” (Logan, 3) Logan’s story inspires people how to learn from failure and then succeed. Those successes that are achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy. For the sake of success, people have to learn from failures, or they will probably repeat the same past mistakes. Facing failures correctly and learning from it, people will have more chances to succeed. People who meet with failure don’t have to feel pain. Success without failure is seldom possible. Failure shouldn't stop people living life well. It is always possible to live a better life despite the obstacles and hardship. Even though people lose their jobs, or suffer financial issues, or face any problem, they should always believe that everyone could live a better life despite all difficulties. This optimistic attitude will give people the courage to go on with all the hope and faith. The eventual success is the revenge to the all the failures.
