The researchers found that after a failed experience, improvement takes place when we focus on both correct and erroneous actions. Focusing on what we did correctly can soften the blow from the information on what we did not do so well. After a successful experience, we learn best from focusing on what we did wrong.

We can use failure as a teaching tool to improve skills like problem-solving, leadership, communication, decision making, learning, and so on. Think of failure like this: every decision we make has a 50% chance of success, and a 100% guarantee to teach you something new in the process.

To fail is not to succeed, and success is the absence of failure. Firstly, failure starts where success ends, and it defines the limits of success. But secondly, success often follows failure, since it frequently occurs after other options have been tried and failed.

There is no better teacher in life than failure. Failure brings the opportunity to learn things better. It helps us in learning from our mistakes. Failures make us rethink and reconsider to find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals.

Goals that show that you care about society and family, or about your health, are also a good pick… I am training hard and I hope to achieve my goal next year. I want to become a better mother and wife. I am aware of the mistakes I make, and I try to improve in the most important role of my life.

Instead I want to encourage you to sit and reflect on your ‘quiet achievements’ – those things you did but never really appreciated before. Those things that tell you more about who you are today than the big achievements like the degree or promotion or having kids.
