Failure is part of our lives. We failed in one season of our lives or another. All people failed, no one is exempted.
Have you ever evaluated yourself on this? When was the last time you failed? In school, in an crucial examinations, in your health, in your expectations, in your investments, in your relationships, in a business venture, in an important project, a program, in your own goals and plans, in a dream and a lot more?
Failure comes to us like a storm: unannounced mostly, strong and painful. Yes, and we are greatly affected!
When we failed, do we run away and flee? Do we quit? Do we get depressed for a long time and is paralyzed to do any work? Or do we face the consequences as strongly as we can?
The effect of failure in our lives can either be destructive or constructive... it depends on how we allow this circumstance impact our lives.

Failure exist as success exist and we have to accept it as we are accepting many things in life however when we fail in something we get discourage which is veru natural for everyone at the first instance but we have to learn also that success comes from failure to failure without the loss of enthusiam. We get failures in life and when we succeed to overcome them then we become more mature in life so we have to accept that it exist in life and it like day and night, light and darkness.

yes i agree that failing is a part of anyone's life. that not anyone human did not ever commit failures, including i. people ussually differ on how they face the failure that they commit or think they commited. some face it with courage and positively thingking that it was normal and that threr always is a second chance. others face it with discouragement or negatively , they keep on thingking that he/she is a misreable person that everybody else did it right and only him did it the disastrous way. but on my own experience/view failures should faced with acceptance and change.
