Is it a failure or just a learning experience??

I believe that out of bad comes good, so even if we have a bad experience or failure something good comes out of it, like the learning of how we failed and next time, as they say forearmed is forewarned we are more prepared and we go about it in a different way, handling it differently and hopefully succeeding, sometimes it takes more than one go to succeed, and there can be many barriers on the way to success if we fail at the first hurdle we need to continue to reach the next hurdle etc... It is all to easy to give up but if we don't try we never get anywhere, sorry it's full of cliches and maybe if I was to practice what I preached then I wouldn't be so nervous about trying again each time.

If you do not learn from the experience of goals you have attempted-- but are yet to achieve--you have failed. If you learn from your past mistakes, and attempt to better yourself, working towards your goals--you are a success. When you don't give up, but face life--both the good and the bad--as the person you are, you are a success.

A learning experience, precisely. "Do or do not, there is no try." Yoda, Jedi Master
When people give up or are afraid of failure, it is because they do not have faith.

Luke Skywalker- "I don't believe it!"
Yoda, Jedi Master- "That is why you fail."

We are always closer than we think. We need to have faith in ourselves if we want others to have faith in us.

I am one of the ones that keep going pal, I hate anything beating me, ( not games though,that doesn't bother me being beaten in games ) but things I try I will keep going until I get it lol

It depends. In general I can try many times and learn from my mistakes. I am very patient. If I am doing something with ultimate goal to reach in few years, than I can be very patient and take 'baby steps'.

I never consider it failure. You learn from the bad or things that dont work out. I agree with you that you should never give up. I think it makes you a stronger person

Hi mssnow,

I guess it all boils to one thing - motive. If the motive is pure and good, then all endeavors are worth the second try (or third.. or fourth...) At times, what we want to achieve is something that god doesn't want us to achieve because He has something else better in store for us.

In everything awaits an opportunity! Everything has its good and bad points. I learn from things everything I do. If I did good, I'd do better. If I did better, I'd do best. If I did best, I'd do bestest. And more to come...:D

On the other hand, falling means learning how to stand. Our feet were created for us to stand so don't put it to waste. In everything we do, we must improve otherwise all we did is in vain.

I agree with you, the only time something that doesn't turn out right is a failure, is when we give up on it. "Don't quit" is my motto. Looking at things that don't quite turn out as a learning experience helps us to succeed.

There's the saying "If at first you don't succeed, try try again" It is so very true, just keep trying until you get it right. You learn from everything you try, each step is a learning process.

A failure is good for us especially if we want to learn something new.
