Stepping Stone to Success
Stepping-Stone to Success
The lack of success is failure. Failure teaches us a lot. It reveals our weakness that must be overcome. It also guides and inspires us to put in more effort. It reveals the weakness of our planning, and it gives us strength to act more decisively. It gives us a teaching for the future. Failure, therefore prepares a person to go for the next attempt with better chance of success. Like in J.K Rowling’s speech, she describes how she failed on an “epic scale” after graduation. Another example is the article,” Terra Firma- A Journey from Migrant Farm labor to Neurosurgery ” by Alfredo Quinone’s-Hinojosa. He failed by not being able to put any food in the table for his family. Both of Quinones and Rowling failed but it was a mere stepping-stone to becoming a recognize writer and neurosurgeon. There is different types of failure such as, in the article,” Living in Two Worlds” by Marcus Mabry; this article is about failure of being null, being helpless, not being able to do anything about a situation. I have also experience failure. I have failed by becoming a mediocre student, but I realized that with effort, I might become a successful student.
As much as a successful author she might be, Rowling has encountered failures in her life. Like she recounts in her speech, her marriage had “imploded,” (167). She was jobless, and a lone parent. This period of her life was “a dark one” as she states in her speech. Your failures teach you a lot. For example, “Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected..”(J.K, 167). Rowling explains that her fiasco helped discover a new side of her that she didn’t know.
Failure is easy, but taking action and making that failure become success is the hard part. How a person deals with failure depends on their willing
