Failures are just stepping stones

No one likes to experience failure. It is a disappointing feeling when everything does not turn out as we expected, and we lose the game, get bad grades or commit a mistake after having tried hard. Still, failure is not the opposite of success, it is a part of it.

Failure teaches us new things we didn’t know. It opens the room for improvement that it suggests and makes us stronger for the next try. Even the most successful people like Thomas Alva Edison failed several times till they succeeded. He did not give up, he got a lesson from every mistake and kept on experimenting. Thomas Adison said, ”I have not failed. I have only found 10,000 ways that don’t work.” His words remind us that every failure brings us one step closer to success.

Sometimes we compare ourselves to others who seem to achieve everything easily. But what we don’t see are the struggles and failures behind their success. What makes someone truly successful isn’t that they never fail, but that they never stop trying.

Failure will also turn us into a humble person. It disciplines us to realize that success doesn’t only depend on winning, but on learning, growing, and becoming a good person. Mistakes teach patience, resilience, and empathy, they help us understand ourselves and others better.

In school and in life, mistakes are how we grow. So, instead of feeling discouraged, we should see failure as a lesson, a stepping stone toward something greater. Failure is the next opportunity.

We must learn from our mistakes, from our failure, but if we learn from our mistakes only,  our lifespan will be too short for it. We must also learn from the mistakes other people have committed.

As Oprah Winfrey said, ” Failure is not the end but another stepping stone to greatness “.
