We might not like it at the time, but in the end we all become better people for it. Sometimes it's a moment of clarity that wakes us up to a new reality. Other times it's a humiliation that forces us to humble ourselves. But no matter what, failure is a part of life. It's the mark of a successful person to learn from their failures.
So what should we do when we fail? First of all, don't be discouraged.
