I Believe That Failures are bitter sweet experience, Nobody wants to fail, but it is inevitable. Everybody has the possibility to fail. But if you look at the deeper meaning of failure, it might be a blessing in disguise. Failure makes us realize, a wake-up call for us to be better next time. Failure motivates us to improve, to strive and push through. It is a learning opportunity, it is more of a stepping stone rather than a stuimbling block.

Yes, it does. Experience itself is a great teacher, whether its a bad or a good one.Makes us strive to be better if we fail and not do it again.

I also believe the experience is a good teacher and always teaches us something in life. I think we will always try to learn through our failures.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I do agree with this saying so much.Failures is A Great Teacher.If there is no failure in our life, then we will not find the weekness on our body, then we will not improves ourselves a lot .But there are so many failures in our life, we will know where we should overcome and where is the best point of us.So failures usually teaches us a lot.

Sure sometimes in order to succeed we must first fail, because it is what will allow us to push and try harder. How I feel I succeed, especially after any attempted failures is that I do my best to accept / recognize what I did wrong in order to be able to put forth efforts to make the changes and hence it can be quite successful.

well said hardworkinggurl, it's like learning to ride a bike for the first time. You'll stumble and fall, and that is a process to advance to the next step. As time goes by, you'll learn how to be better because of your persist to gain the skill needed. People are easily dishearted and discouraged on their past failures, but the only real failure is the failure to try again.

I think Experience still the best teacher. With failure is mostly the topic that the teacher brought to us :D Yet, I agree with you. As long as we used failure to motivate us to do better, it can be a great teacher. Otherwise, we will take it as a very great torturer.

I think we never fell in to the same hole again. I think most times failures are great teaches and teach something in our lives. We never make the same mistakes again. I think most times failures do motivate us to improve and do better in our lives. I think we should try to make it as a learning opportunity as you have said and try to learn more and try to motivate oneself and try to learn from it.

I believe that there is a lesson to be learned in all things of our lives. the same has to be said not only of success but failure as well. Sometimes it is our downfalls that can pick us back up and put us on the path we need to rebuild our lives. We may not appreciate the lesson a failure can bring but i believe it can be a great teacher to us.

I believe it can be. But it can also be a frustrating experience that could leave us traumatized till the end of our lives. It's what you do after you've failed that matters. If you accept it, try to learn what you can from it, and then you move on, you'll be fine. But if you start feeling sorry for yourself, lose all your self-esteem, and become depressed, then failure is a bad thing however you might look at it.

Failure can be a sad thing but it definitely isn't bad. Failure just brings out new courage i think and a strong motivation to do the job well the next time. Failure can hurt but it also boosts you up, well at least to me it does.

every person must have experienced failures, but failures also have a different reaction from people who experienced it. many people simply give up after he failed but there was also able to rise from failure and even able to achieve success. Failure can be regarded as a delayed success and also the best teachers in achieving success. with failure, we can correct the causes of our failures so that when we started walking again will not fall again for the same mistakes.

The key word being 'learning'. Failures are only a great teacher as long as you learn from your mistakes. As the saying goes 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.
