Success through Failure

Many people all fail in life, but failure can bring experience, teach new ideas, give second chances, and help people to succeed.  In The Catcher in the Rye Holden fails to fit into society.  At the end of the book he is given a second chance when he is taken into the hospital.  The novel Anthem shows how Equality fails to follow society and runs away.  He learns from his experiences to succeed by starting his own civilization.  An artist may paint abstract art which fails to show an actual picture.  People still give the art credit for being unique and appreciate the work.  The movie Titanic shows how the character Rose failed at the life she was living.  When she met Jack, Rose felt she could succeed.  Jack died, but Rose went on to turn her life in a new direction and succeed from the lessons Jack taught her.  Around the world people admit they have made mistakes and failed, but still strive to succeed.  Julie Taymor failed at a project she was working on, but she still wanted to fix the situation to succeed. “I think it’s very important to be true to your heart and true to your vision... I am passionate about the projects that I do, and I would hate, even if they fail in certain ways…” People are continually failing and continually learning from mistakes to strive for goals.  Are your mistakes not the reason why you succeeded?

  1. I've made many mistakes throughout my life. I've gotten F's on tests, gotten in arguments with friends, and I've embarassed myself countless times. Without doing these things though, I'd be ignorant. Failing has taught be so much. I've learned ways to study, I've learned different facts about my friends and social skills, and I've learned how to react to certain situations. Without failing in the first place, I would not know have the things I know today. Success does indeed come out of failure.
