Then be careful, you are one of them who have bad relationship with failure. And this is the only reason why people often keep themselves away from their success. The power of failure is that it helps us to learn fro our mistakes and missteps and we must consider a failure as an opportunity to grow rather than giving up. Lets discover the reasons why successful people believe that opportunity lies in every failure. Disappointment or failure shows that you are trying The best way to gauge（衡量）your progress at something is to see how many times you failed. In case you havent failed yet, chances are that you havent tried hard yet. Look at all successful men and women throughout our history, they all had one thing in common. Thats to say they failed not once but several times before they achieved success. Lets take an example of Thomas Edison: he failed a lot of times to find right filament（灯丝）for his light bulb. Henry Ford had a stronger relationship with failure, which inspired him to quote this unforgettable saying “failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.” Achievement lies in looking at failure as an opportunity Just like every successful person had one thing in common, similarly all unsuccessful persons throughout our history had one thing in common - their inability to use failure as an opportunity and a tool. If you feel your one failure is your ultimate （终极的）failure, and that feeling of sinking down is known as an ultimate failure, you are pushing yourself away from your expected success. Achievement is all about finding out what mistakes you made, what is the main cause of that failure, and how you are going to make up for it. Success requires willpower, passion, hard work, intelligence, determination, but all of the above, success requires failure. Use your failure as an opportunity to learn, to become wiser and to reconsider your relationship with failure, the true key to success. 1.
