Failure

Hey so my computer is down right now and I'm typing this on an itouch. So yeah. Interesting experience. This piece is called failure.

This is the only time I will agree with my science teacher. They say in science that 9/10 you will fail and that is a good thing. I agree with this overly broad statement we are defined by our failures. From failure we grow, explore, challenge and inspire. Success is the true failure. To succeed means that you have achieved something that you already knew you could do. You have not learned anything, you already knew it, if you succeed. So why is failure, always the bad guy in this situation? Without failure we would have nothing.

Russian scientist, in the early years of space travel, sent one very brave dog named Liaka into space to test out there new satellites. The only problem is that they did not know how to get Liaka down. They failed to save her, but learned how to make space travel safe for all people. There initial failure furthered the exploration of man, and mans ability to travel in space.

Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, failed hundreds of times in his experimentation with the light bulb filament. Every time he failed he learned something new about electricity and conduction. Without his try and fail attitude, we might never have been able to understand fully the way electricity and current works.

Failure is apart of life, we try to be perfect, but the reality is that we will never be perfect. We make mistakes, we screw up, we fail. To the people who say, why both, I'm just going to fail anyway. I tell them to get over it and try it anyway. We are defined by our failures and they way we react to them.

So that is my rant on failure, i hope it inspired you to do something, and even if you fail you learned something new as a consolation prize.
