All of us have experience failure. It is a sad thing if we failed. It is really hard to battle the feeling of being failed. It's so frustrating, and it hurts. Really tough!! I just admire people who knows how to handle themselves when they failed. In me, I will be lamenting for days before I can cope with it. How about you? How did you handle with failing. Hoe pt hear from you.

Yes, it is sad to experience failure but how can we appreciate success if we have not experienced failure? Success is sweeter when you have already experienced to fail at one or more times in your life. We can not avoid failures because we are not perfect. Instead of dwelling in sadness, the best thing is for us to learn how to thank God in every circumstances because for all we know it will work together for our own good. We must learn to learn a lesson from those failures... where have you done wrong? what have you neglected? what are lacking? Then, strive to make up for all those shortcomings and misgivings you did in the past. Failures are actually God's way of molding you into a better person.

There is a saying, "we fall down but we get up"...the important thing is that you get up! Don't stay down! Learn from it, try harder, but never give up the dream!

I also hate failure. But I take it as a learning experience. Adapt,overcome and change.

When I fail I just start over again because we ust need to keep trying and keep moving forward. The most successful people in the world have also failed many times before they achieved success.

I cry and put myself down and call myself an idiot and then i wash my face and vow to do better next time...over and over again. I have accepted that no matter how good I get at anything....I will always have moments of completly skrewing things up. we are human and we are bound to mess up....just pick yourself up and move forward.

Yes, correct!! Moving forward is a great option than to withdraw because you failed. Try again and strive for improvement.
