Failure is The Key to Success

I believe that it takes failure to make a successful person. Everyone makes mistakes but after you make the mistake you know what not to do. Failure is the key to success, each mistake teaches us something. Everyone wants success and wants to reach success but not everyone accepts failure and learn from the mistake and move on. Failure teaches how to change into a better person for yourself and the people who love you. We all make mistakes daily, some of them larger than others, but mistakes are mistakes. We fail at finishing our homework on time or fail a test. People think others that are failing makes them losers, when it actually helps us grow and learn more about ourselves and even others. Sure, failing at doing something can hurt and make us upset, but it’s how we react to that failure that makes us and who we are. Every part of who I am today is based on the failures that I have went through in my past and what I have made of my mistakes. Without failure no one would understand what it means to succeed, since every action would just be seen as nothing happened.

My biggest achievement in life so far is learning how to accept my failures and learn from them and change for the better then move on. Learning how to accept failure makes me wiser in choosing actions I will and have taken and it makes me strive more to do better in my life for myself and others. There were times I failed at being a good daughter, being a best friend, being a good student, being a good sister and even being the best version of myself. Before I accepted failure it made me feel that I am not smart enough and I am not capable of doing things. It also has made me feel like people will judge me easier because of my mistakes. I thought that people would dislike me because of my mistakes. I started to realize that I was scared of failure and started thinking about how “perfect” life would be if no one made mistakes.

Failure is a way for people to learn from their mistakes. In fact, failure is a mechanism created to force people into figuring out where they went wrong and then get back up and striving to succeed the next time. No one can win every time, and if people can learn to accept their mistakes and move on, they will also realize how strong they truly are just like I did. I realized that you can not just sit there, you have to get back up. When success is reached through suffering, the result is far greater than that of just being given an award. Learning the hard way is probably the best way to learn in any situation. Failure is a part of life and just as important as success. Think of a mistake you have made in your life or times you wish you could’ve done something differently. There’s a chance you won't make the same mistake again as long as you learn from your past and move on and try again and never give up. We fail so we learn how to grow, we fail so we know the feeling of regret and we fail so when we succeed.
