    The document discusses the common saying that "failure is the mother of success" and whether it is truly accurate. While failure can teach valuable lessons when we are young, it becomes a bigger threat as we grow older and take on more responsibilities. Simply facing repeated failure is not guaranteed to lead to success and can have negative consequences. A better approach is to find alternative routes to success when possible instead of overpushing through failure. For important tasks where failure is not an option, such as exams, the key is to practice to the point where you gain confidence and make failure unlikely through continuous learning and improvement each day.

    Is failure the mother of success?

    Throughout our lives, we probably all have heard of the phrase, Failure is the mother of
    success. Well, is this statement true? Or is it just an over generalization of those who
    have succeeded?

    I personally, was very skeptical about this phrase beginning from high school. Failure
    was rather friendly when I was young. I probably learned how to ride the bike, how to
    avoid foods that I am allergic to, and how to find the exact amount of detergent when
    doing laundry by making tons of mistakes. However, as I grew older and held more
    responsibility, failure became more of an enemy that could change my entire life.

    We are told that it is okay to make mistakes, but the reality is not always so promising.
    While it is idealistic to set failure as a springboard to improve and succeed,
    results of these failure may be big enough to change one’s university or future jobs.

    I am not standing here today to tell you that we should just face this bitter reality and do
    nothing about it. I am here to provide a new perspective into what we should really
    consider when we hear the phrase, failure is the key to success.

    First, it is okay to find an another route. It may be even better to take a step back and
    admit what cannot be done. Over pushing yourselves and putting in meaningless effort
    when it just doesn’t work may backfire on you and cause demotivation, anxiety, or a fear
    of taking risks. We all vary in the way we pursue success and our coping mechanisms
    are different. may benefit from overcoming their weakness while focusing more on
    strengths rather than limitations may be a better option for others. If facing the failure is
    not the right option for you, tackling the other side may be a better choice.

    However, there surely are situations where finding an another path may not be an
    alterative like preparing for an exam or a ted talk speech. In this case, we should
    practice to the point where failure is not an option.
    I am afraid to face the failure and I use that fear to make sure I don’t fail. I believe,
    Failure is not the road to success – PRACTICE is. People who succeed do not fail over
    and over again. Instead, they commit to practice every day, learn from what they did,
    and use that feedback to do even better the next day. The only way to succeed is to be
    totally and fundamentally devoted to practicing until you gain the confidence that failure
    will not be an option.

    Thank you.
