Success in failure
Failure is success from another perspective
Thomas Edison the American inventor (1847-1931) said "We haven't failed.We know a thousand things that wont work, so we are much closer to finding what will."
Bearing this in mind ,it is good to know that true success is not merely achieving the desired end result but also acknowledging the lessons learned along the path. In this quotation, the idea of not giving up is also a crucial aspect to achieving.
Never give up your ideas because they have no succeeded in the first few trials. Look back and positively acknowledge the wisdom you have achieved from not getting it right. It is this knowledge that will give you the strength to carry on. Also remember, experience breeds new perspectives.
In my experience as a teacher, turning failure into success has been the most rewarding factor of teaching.It is undeniable that the teacher has to put extra effort to guide the student and encourage them to keep trying,giving examples in history such as great scientist Einstein.He did not get all his answers at the first try,persistence pays and this is a great learning curve in the failure-success conversation.
As a teacher and mentor, I do not disregard the fact that if the student fails,part of that failure is also my responsibility. I have to succeed in one way or the other. This can come in the form of accomplishing the task as required or bringing on new lessons and perspectives from the failure.
