How can failure be beneficial?
Failure, is something that happens to everyone in every type of task. No one likes to fail, but because no one is perfect, failures happen daily. Failures, however, are not always bad things. Sure, failing means you messed up, or did something wrong, but failure teaches a very good thing : whatever you just did to fail, is one way NOT to accomplish you task, so try another ,method until you get whatever your doing right. Thomas Edison once said "I have not failed. I've just found 10000 ways that won't work". I believe perfectly shows that failure can be beneficial. Thomas Edison, one of the world's greatest innovators, failed thousands of times, and each failure brought him closer and closer to his accomplishments. If people were to give up at their first failures the world would have none of the technologies it has today. Cavemen would've given up on the wheel, Henry Ford on the car, and Bill Gates on the computer. However, because people were able to overcome their failures, and find the right way to accomplish their tasks, our world is able to keep advancing. Even in me writing this blog post I encountered points of failure, having to backspace, rewrite ideas, and spellcheck. If I messed up once and stopped writing, instead overcoming my failures, i would get a very bad grade. Failure came upon this world not to put us down, but to show us what we did wrong and get us closer to doing it right.
