“Never let the fear of failure be an excuse for not trying. Society tells us that to fail is the most terrible thing in the world, but I know it isn’t. Failure is part of what makes us human.”

Amber Deckers, Ella Mental and the Good Sense Guide

It is universally accepted that from ancient times humanity makes everything possible to comprehend or invent something new and to develop what has already been discovered. To be quite plain it cannot go without mistakes in this case. In spite of all our wishes and intentions, making false steps turns out to be inseparable part of our life. Moreover failure is considered to be one of the greatest man’s fears. There is no need to deny the fact that up-to-date life is sure to lay high claims to every person and to enhance the importance of competition. Seeking after perfection and willing to make some favorable impression one, in contrast, grows weaker before failure. Frankly speaking the very point, not to be forgotten, is that perfection exists only in our imagination but not in real life. Thus understanding of such thing can become the only way to accept one’s own and somebody else’s failure. You can’t but take into account that all greatest discoveries happened mostly by trial and error. Society imposes certain conditions, according to what it can result in the fear of misfortune that leads us, in turn, to more sizable blunder. Right for mistake means often the right for some innovation, research, experiment, discovery and progress in some new directions. They say: “Only one is not mistaken, who does nothing”. It’s also worth mentioning that a lot of outstanding personalities also failed and that sometimes few people possessed faith in them. That’s why the main thing to stress is that we should be patient and learn lessons from our failures. Furthermore it is said: “Wise man learns by other man’s faults, fools by their own.” To tell the truth, even though, mistake can be turned into a useful knowledge and experience, if one will analyze the cause and correct the effect. It goes without saying that understanding of the problem is believed to be brilliant opportunity for changing situation for the better. All these facts enable me to make a conclusion that every person has right for failure and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Misfortunes help us learn useful lessons and are of vital importance for achieving a great success. Coming to the end, it would be appropriate to mention the opinion by Bernard de Fontenelle, which claimed: “All people make mistakes, but the great ones confess to it”
