Learn from it and take it as a positive, many of the most successful business people have had many failures before success. Donald Trump is a perfect example of someone that made it lost it and made it again. Never give up and always try to be positive and you can succeed. Besides its nice to see how your doing compared to your high school classmates on myspace a few years later, I know I do lol.

Accepting Responsibility for Failure:

This was written by a secondary-school teacher, but I think it is just as applicable in our environment - hope it helps!

Failure is an unpleasant word, with bleak connotations. Yet it is a word that applies to every one of us at different stages of our lives. No one is exempt. Our icons, gurus, religious leaders, politicians, rock stars and educators all fail. It is simply a reality of being human. It is also a label that we fight desperately to avoid. And it is this fight to avoid failure that drives us forward towards our life accomplishments. So--why can't we take responsibility for our own failure when it does occur?

We need to accept responsibility for a very important reason--namely, maturity. We cannot reach a full level of maturity until we accept ownership of our own mistakes. As an educator, I am confronted with this problem on a daily basis. When a student is late for class, it is because a parent failed to wake them up. A failed test becomes the responsibility of the teacher, the system, society, an after school job, but never the fault of the test taker. An incomplete assignment is inevitably due to the needy demands of a friend, or an electrical failure. I feel particularly blessed because the power circuits leading to my home must be exceptionally fine, as I have yet to experience the myriad of blackouts that have plagued my students.

Nevertheless, the daily onslaught of excuses has left me questioning the value of our education system. What, after all, is the point of "higher learning" if we fail to master the basic task of owning up to our own mistakes?

As we proceed through our education system and indeed life, our excuses for failure become more grandiose and perhaps more grotesque because the crude reality is that we have failed to mature in any significant sense of the word. To continually shift responsibility away from ourselves is worse than being a coward. Even a coward will admit that their failure is a result of their own lack of courage.

Accepting failure takes strength of character, honesty and humility. It provides a building block for future achievements. When we deny culpability, we rob ourselves of the chance to learn from our mistakes. We condemn ourselves to a lifetime pattern of avoidance and deception. Like Marley's ghost, dragging his chains of missed humanitarian opportunities behind him, we crawl forward pulling our chains of pathetic excuses behind us--never fully maturing, never fully reaching our true potential. This stale baggage is far more character eroding than any of our individual failures could ever be.

Get up and get over your failures. Dwelling on it will only be detrimental to you. Learn from it and find victory the next time!

as a learning experience. what did you learn from the failure. failure is just as important as success for learning. embrace the failure as one of your life's experiences. embrace all failures.
Just as you would embrace success. Feel the disappointment. Write about it in a journal.

Remind yourself that you are a human being and human beings make mistakes! Try to think of anyone how hasn't failed at anything - impossible. Think of Benjamin Franklin and how many times he failed to invent the lightbulb.

Analyze it, that you may improve yourself and not fail again.

Use that knowledge to help others that they may not stumble as you have, and never despise falling, but look at it as a chance to get back up and learn what made you fall.

It's kind of like shock when it means a lot to you. Don't let it mean so much that it hurts your ability to carry on. Analyze your mistake, and learn from it how not to repeat it.
