Option 1:
People fail to accomplish their goals every now and again and the fear of failure is perhaps the strongest force holding them below their potential. But some people think that failure can teach them things that they can‘t learn from success. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement “Failure Is Not Always a Bad Thing”? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Failure Is Not Always a Bad Thing
When it comes to failure, different people hold different opinions. Generally speaking, on one hand, some people believe “failure is the mother of success”. On the other hand, for some people, failure is frustration. They believe that too much failure will destruct one‘s confidence. From my perspectives, failure is the footstone and catalyst of the edifice of success.
It‘s universally acknowledged that American president Lincoln had gone through many failures before becoming the president of the United States. Somebody estimated that Lincoln failed 35 times but succeeded only three times.Nevertheless, he became one of the greatest and most respectable presidents in America. We can see from Lincoln that failure is not always a bad thing. As long as you learn from failure and you don‘t lose heart when encountered with obstacles, you will overcome those difficulties and achieve your dream.
In conclusion, there‘s nothing to fear about failure because it‘s not always a bad thing. What you should do about failure is to turn failure into strength and help yourself to realize your goal.
