Good morning everyone. Today, I’d like to talk about something we all try to avoid, failure.

It’s
uncomfortable, it’s frustrating, and at times, it feels like the end of the road. But what if I told
you that failure might be one of the best teachers we have.
Think about it, the most powerful lessons in life often come after something has gone wrong,
not when everything is going right. That’s because failure forces us to stop, think, and change.

We live in a world where success is celebrated, and failure is often hidden. We fear failure
because we’re scared of what people might think. We feel pressure to get things right the first
time. But here’s the truth: failure is not a reflection of weakness. In fact, avoiding failure often
means avoiding growth. Think about school, social media, or even conversations with friends.
Everyone wants to look like they’ve got it all figured out. But in reality, most people are battling
their own failures. We just don’t talk about them, and that’s the problem.

Failure pushes us to reflect. It shows us what doesn’t work so we can figure out what does. It
builds resilience, because learning to rise again is just as crucial as knowing how to stand tall. If
you never fail, you never really learn where your limits are or how to break past them.
It’s not fun, but it is powerful. Failure humbles and sharpens us. It trains our minds to adapt, our
emotions to toughen, and our skills to gradually improve.

Some of the most successful people in the world started out with failure. For example, Michael
Jordan, one of the greatest athletes of all time, was once cut from his high school basketball
team. J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, was rejected by twelve publishers before
someone gave her a chance. If they had quit, they might have never cemented their legacies in
history. They didn’t avoid failure; they learnt from it. They kept going, improved their craft, and
eventually reached a level of undeniable success that failure helped them prepare for. It shows
us that failure doesn’t block the path; it’s part of the path.

Failure isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s small, like messing up a group presentation or
trying an idea that completely fails. But even in those moments, we learn. Maybe it teaches us
to communicate better, prepare earlier, or think differently next time. That’s part of growth.
Even small mistakes, like struggling with time management or missing a forgetting homework,
help us build better habits for the future. Over time, you become more alert, more disciplined,
and more thoughtful.

Failure doesn’t lie to us. It gives us feedback. Clear, honest, and sometimes harsh, but
necessary. It prepares us for real-life challenges, where things don’t always go as planned. It
also helps us develop a positive mindset, where we value progress over perfection. That
mindset? It’s what separates people who improve from people who stay stuck. Once you
understand that mistakes are part of progress, you stop fearing them and start utilizing them.

In the end, failure isn’t something we should be ashamed of. It’s something we should learn
from. Every time we fail, we are given a chance to improve — to become more focused, more
determined, and more prepared. So don’t be afraid to fall. Just make sure you rise smarter every
time. Remember every success story has a failure chapter that was not skipped but survived.
