There is a common misconception that failure is a bad thing.
are often called losers, but if those people learn from their losses, they are actually winners. Failure.
teaches people that they are just like everybody else, and that success is gained from hard work and.
determination. When people fail at something important in their lives and decide to try again, they tend.
to regain their confidence and persist with great resilience. Many of the best lesson people learn in life.
come from the mistakes they have made and the knowledge they gained from their mistakes.
A good example of failure being the best teacher is in business matters. People with excess money.
often invest in businesses they know little or nothing about. They put their trust into what they have.
been told because that is easier than setting up the business on their own. Other people often manage the.
business, and the only knowledge the investors have is from what they have been told and what they see.
accounted for in books and records. When their business fails, they rarely know the reasons why. They.
realize that they may have succeeded had they researched and planned more efficiently. Most of them.
learn from such mistakes and go back into the business market with knowledge of what it takes to.
succeed.
Another good example of learning more from failure than success is found in sports. When people.
first begin playing a sport, they may not play very well. However, they learn and improve through.
experience. Very few athletes win all of their competitions, so there are failures in sports. When.
frequent winners lose, they may act childish and prove that they have learned nothing from their success.
Striving athletes often realize too late that they could have succeeded had they practiced more and.
worked together.
A final example of failure being a better teacher than success lies within personal relationships.
People often go into relationships knowing very little about one another.
