Often we ask, 'what it takes to be successful?' but few ask, 'what it takes to face failure?'. This is what I've learned from what I read in a book--failure is not the actual opposite of success--it's 'quitting'. Once we quit, it's the end of the possible success awaiting us. Failures allow us to see where we've gone wrong and allow us to think how we can avoid them. So, I've realized failures aren't really bad at all. They're just lessons I need to learn. So if ever I commit the same mistake again, I know it's a lesson I only failed to learn.
