7.     In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In 1 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often 2.

On the 5 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to6the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made 7models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked 8 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have9failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't 10 “

    Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some 13about what your real goals 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 any way.
The third thing to keep in 14 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have 15 ．
