Failure is the mother of success
Comment in this saying “Failure is the mother of
success”

Many people easily feel disappointed whenever they fail in
their business. Successive failures may lead them to
pessimism and they keep on bewailing their lot. The
following saying: “Failure is the mother of success” has
been used to encourage these sorts of people.

At first, “everything is difficult at the outset”. When we start
implementing a certain scheme, although it is carefully
planned in advance, we still encounter some obstacles or
difficulties that may arise unexpectedly. For example, a
farmer tried to sow a new kind of seeds. To his great
disappointment, the new seeds did not produce him a
good yield as he had expected whereas his neighbor
farmer sowed the same seeds but he harvested a bumper
crop. Our unfortunate farmer did not lose hope and was
determined to investigate the causes of his failure: he tried
to better his soil, fertilizing his rice-fields with mush
nitrogen and finally he succeeded in collecting 5 tons of
rice per hectare.

If you lose one go, try another. The patience, persistence
and will are important. Drawing experiences from previous
failures, we changed tactics and strategies and finally we
will succeed. Our success is due to our unflinching
determination after bitter failures. Demosthenes, the
greatest Athenian orator, before reaching the acme of his
glory, had to suffer so much despair and failure. The


audience did not pay much attention to his political
speeches because of his weak voice. He resolved that he
would get rid of this defect. Day after day, he went to the
sea, shouting and roaring with deafening sounds of waves
and in the end he acquired a convincing and sonorous
voice as he had wished.

The above saying is quite right if it is applied to the pupils’
lives. If we are weak at certain subjects, do not be
disappointed. Be consistent in our study. We should learn
more from our friends, our teachers and others and listen
to their advice. Thus, in the long run, we can get over our
defects and weakness.
