Yes, I fail

"Our greatest glory is not, in never failing but in rising up every time we fail". That is famous quotation from Ralph Waldo Emerson toward failure. Surely most of us have taken part in competition consciously or not. Of course there is a winner and loser. It is very proud to be a winner, but it will be shame to be a loser. Possible for some people to desperate and getting mad from that, whereas there are some mysterious things. There are positive things for our personality which can learn from the bad shame failure.

One important lesson from failure is appreciation; appreciation for ourselves and the failure itself. Maybe we fail to reach our goal, but on the other hand, more or less we had done our best and we have bravery to try. It is better than we let our plan as dust which blows by the wind. By those mean, we appreciate ourselves; our struggling to make our idea comes true. Then, we may not underestimate all of the things in this world. We must work hard because to get something is not easy. In the future, when we want to try again we will give our best effort. Therefore, lost something will give important effect for our personality.

Something else of the positive reason beside appreciation is struggle. Failure is a bridge to be success. That quote it is true obviously. Though we fall down, but failure indirectly forces us not to give up. We may not stop on that point and feel like the end of the world. Failure is just phase which need to be finished by rising up and keep struggling from failing. Afterwards, failing is also testing our creativity. The test will open up our mind when we want to try again. We will make an innovation based on our experience before. This innovation will increase our struggling for the next chance. Thus, struggling is good for our personality in rising up from the failure.

Another big thing is become humble person. The main point is we respect other people’s ability, if they have more ability than us. It gives us a warning not to be so vain with ourselves. Then, lose something makes us say thank even for sad experience. Whereupon, we will make an evaluation toward ourselves; what we have done before. We will make us confess our own lack and superiority from the other people. By evaluating, we prevent ourselves not to do the same that has made us fail before. Beside that, failing can develop our personality to be a better person. When we have developed ourselves, we have bravery to try again in the next opportunity. So, from failing something gives positive affection for our personality.

When we learn many positive things even from worst event, such as appreciation, struggling and become humble, we will develop our personality to be a better person. It also changes our paradigm if failure is not shame, bad, and awful experience. In reality, it will be amazing if we apply those things, but it quite rare.
