In the end, failure must be recognized so that you can learn from it. Ignoring failure and pretending it didn’t happen only leads to making similar mistakes. It doesn’t make you stronger, but rather, complacent in an incorrect path. So graduates, enjoy your successes. But also recognize your failures. The two are both part of life and go hand in hand. Failure in life will happen. Treat the occurrences as the learning opportunities they are. Move on from your failures, better, wiser, and stronger.
INSIGHTS: If you don’t have any failures to learn from, it simply means you are not trying hard enough. Set some real stretch goals for yourself and then fail fast, learn from it and try it again.
