How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
Failure is a reminder that you are human and when you first don’t succeed you try again and again until you overcome and conquer any challenge set in front of you. If you fail it means you let yourself down by not trying hard enough knowing you could’ve done more. Practice makes perfect and to try ending in failure is only another practice run. The key is to first learn from your mistakes, remember them and come up with a winning game plan for each one. Attack each weak link one on one individually chopping down at its weaknesses and building up the weaknesses which it tore down to begin with just that much more than before. Like a young samurai punching a board to break it but instead breaks his hand. Well it heals and try’s again to only again injure it. Each time he attempts he breaks or hairline fractures the knuckles but every time it heals back just that much stronger. Eventually his bone is overridden with calcium buildup that turns it into iron like strength that can withstand putting the hand through solid wood, the bone mended itself stronger to do the job. This is called evolution at its finest. So failures are only instances which will be overcome eventually with steadfast trying.
