Poem Artwork

Failure is a part of the path to success,
Don’t use failure as a reason for distress,
Failure can be the result of one or many attempts,
Embrace the re-direction of your steps.

Failure filters out your weaknesses,
Making you stronger and relentless,
For you may need to cross many unpaved roads and trenches,
Rather than speeding across straightforward bridges.

Failure should not be viewed as an embarrassment,
It is a humbling experience that eventually leads to accomplishment,
It motivates you to make the impossible, possible,
For the wisdom learnt from it is an essential part of life and completely endurable.
 

D.L. Carroll

My first draft of anything I write, think about, or build is almost always a disaster. But I'm usually smart enough to know its flaws, and rarely put it in the cross-hairs of others. Still, you have smoothed the road ahead for nearly everyone with just a few well-chosen words. Bravo for some good advice!

I agree, failure is a good teacher.

A positive take on the implications of failure, indeed this poem turned into a success. Well done.

Your poem is strong with truth. The only person that hasn't failed is the person who has done nothing.

So true, if we don't have failure we have no way to measure success. Our strength from the time we are children stems from our learning experiences both the positive and the negative. I like the way you put this into words.
