All these failures happen naturally and almost every one of us has such experience.However, there are different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart in failure, and they think the world is at its end. Some people don’t take failure seriously, and they just let it be, while some others learn much from failure, and therefore see the light of hope through failure.In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but what we think of failure and do after failure. As long as we don’t give up and believe in ourselves, and in the meantime learn some thing from failure, we’ll certainly make progress in the end. So I’m never afraid of failure. I believe failure is not a bad thing.16The Way to SuccessIt is true that everyone tries to achieve success in his/her career. But one finally attains his/her aim while the other fails. Why?

A man of strong will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. He sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. If we want to succeed finally in our career, we should hold to our goal.Where there is a will, there is a way. Success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts.
