Failures are stepping stones to success.
Expansion of Ideas School & College Section.
When you take part in some competition or activity, always take part from the point of view of participation, not from the point of view of winning. Taking part is more important than winning. It teaches you how to avoid the errors that will help to better yourself the next time. It also gives you mental strength to accept defeat in the right spirit. Everyone cannot win in a competition. Someone has to win, someone has to lose. You also learn to be humble, respectful of someone else’s skill and maintain your spirit of learning. You play in the spirit of true sportsmanship.
The Olympic motto is ”stronger, higher and further“. That is what you should aim for life. Don’t worry about the failures. They are only stepping stones to success. All you have to do is try, try and try again. Then only will you achieve success.
