In one way of thinking,failure is part of life.In another way failure may be a way towards success.The "spider story"is often told.Robert Bruce,leader of Scots in the 13th century,was hiding in a cave from the English.He watched a spider spinning a web.The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock.he tried six times to span the gap.On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web.Burce was siad to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English.Edison,the inventor of the light bulb,made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what?First,always think about your failure.What caused it?Were conditions right?Were you in top form yourself?What can you change so thigns will go right next time?
Second,is the goal you're trying to reach the right one?Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be.Think about this question,"If I do succeed in this,where will it get me?"This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.
The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's a part of life.Learn to "live with yourself"even thoug you may have failed.
Remember,"You can't win'em all."
(I should learn from the spiders' perseverance.)
