Failure is a lack of success in doing or achieving something.

During our growth, we will

encounter many setbacks and failures. Some people will be discouraged and feel disappointed. They
think they cannot do it and want to give up. Many people are afraid to fail because failure can easily
make us feel that we are not good enough. However, the most important thing to remember is that, the
more you fail, the better chance you have to succeed in the future. The question of whether failure is
the first step to succes is debatable. However, I stand neutral that failure is the driving force to achieve
success and it is a good ‘teacher’ as people often learn from their failure while diligence is also always
the first step to success in our life.

First of all, failure is the driving force to achieve success. When a person fails, this will become a
driving motivator to make sure that he or she will work hard to achieve their goals. For example, Thomas
Edison, a famous inventor that has invented the light bulb. He fails many times. After many failures, he
figured out the reason for the failure, and finally invented the electric light that are very important for us
nowadays. In fact, failure is really suffering, but failure is the way to success. On the path of life, people
always expect that the future will be full of flowers and sunshine. In reality, there will be full of
frustrations and dashed hopes. So, in order to face with the failure, we should be motivated to work
harder to avhieve our goals and targets. Thus, failure is the first step to success because it can be a
driving force behind a successful person.

In addition, failure is a good ‘teacher’ as people often learn from their failure. Some of the best
lessons we ever learn are actually learned from our mistakes and failures. The error or failure of the
past is the wisdom and success of the future. Failure is a good ‘teacher’ as it can remind us, guide us and
impart knowledge to us when we are failed. For example, when we failed the exam, teacher always
encourage us and guide us so that we will be more careful next time. In fact, we learn from mistakes
and failures that we made and it motivates us to work even harder. For instance, Dato Lee Chong Wei, a
well-known badminton player in the world. Before he succeed, he failed many times but he never give
up. He learn from his failures and in the end ,he become a successful athlete. Thus, failure is a good
‘teacher’ as people often learn from their failure.

On the other hand, diligence is also always the first step to success in our life. A diligent person
is the one who shows persistent and hardworking effort in doing something. Achievements without
diligence and hard work are impossible. For example, if we work hard in our studies, we will definitely
get a good results and succeed in the coming days. Conversely, if we are lazy, we will have a bad future
and will never succeed in our life. Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with
diligence. Besides that, no one can go through the life and maintain a successful happiness without
diligence. Diligence is not easy but it is impossible to reach our goals and succeed without it. Thus,
diligence is also always the first step to success in our life.

In conclusion, failure is the driving force to achieve success and it is a good ‘teacher’ as people
often learn from their failure. However, diligence is also always the first step to success. Success is not
final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. Success does not come to you, you
must be diligence and work hard to go fot it.
