Failure, they say, is the best teacher．We learn and gain more confidence through trial and error．At one time or another we will encounter failure．You don’t have to accept your failure if what you really want to achieve is success．

For every achievement, there have been one or more failures．But those who we call successful are those who refuse to accept failure and believe success is the other side of failure．The incandescent light （白熾燈） was invented after 1000 failure．Assuming he had stopped after he tried 100 times without the desired result, what would have been the result of such effort?

Any time you see products and new inventions, think in terms of failures that are not accepted．Moreover, everything in a microform today is a result of failure that is not accepted．Any time your effort is  not bring a desired result, you don’t have to call it a failure．Call it a chanllenge．What is the difference between the two? One is negative, and the other is positive; one motivates, and the other demotivates．

What you need is positive thinking and motivation to attain success．Failure is an end thing; challenging is an open thing．Failure means there is no way out, no altermative, but challenge is a question mark asking another way out of the situation, an alternative solution to the problem, the job at hand．Keep dreaming and moving; that is the solution to success．A wise man once said if you cannot fly, run．If you cannot run, walk．If you cannot walk, crawl; just keep on moving．

If you fall down, you have to get up and start moving．If not, other people will step on you to the way to their success．What you call failure and abandon is what someone will continue with just a little additional effort to reach success．
