Quotes

“Don’t be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.”
–John Keats

Simply put, to me this means that learning from our mistakes is part of the path to becoming successful. Sometimes, our society puts such an emphasis on success that we find ourselves afraid to take risks because we are so afraid of failure.

Do you think we need to start taking the pressure off kids to constantly perform up to predefined standards? Should there be more emphasis on trying new things for the sake of learning from them?
