how would you describe a failure???

Answer 1

When you make the same mistake twice because you didn't learn from the first experience.

Answer 2

Failure in general refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective. It may be viewed as the opposite of success. The criteria for failure are heavily dependent on context of use, and may be relative to a particular observer or belief system. A situation considered to be a failure by one might be considered a success by another, particularly in cases of direct competition or a zero-sum game. As well, the degree of success or failure in a situation may be differently viewed by distinct observers or participants, such that a situation that one considers to be a failure, another might consider to be a success, a qualified success or an neutral situation.

It may also be difficult or impossible to ascertain whether a situation meets criteria for failure or success due to ambiguous or ill-defined definition of those criteria. Finding useful and effective criteria, or heuristics, to judge the success or failure of a situation may itself be a significant task.
A context in which failure is frequently used is in formal grading of scholastic achievement. 'Failing a test' or being assigned a 'failing mark' indicates that a student has submitted work or received a mark below a minimum threshold of performance or quality required to continue studies in a subject.

Failure can be differentially perceived from the viewpoints of the evaluators. A person who is only interested in the final outcome of an activity would consider it to be an Outcome Failure if the core issue has not been resolved or a core need is not met. A failure can also be a process failure whereby although the activity is completed successfully, a person may still feel dissatisfied if the underlying process is perceived to be below expected standard or benchmark.

Answer 3

I don't personally think there is such a thing as "failure". On occasion, there is a change of direction, but things happen for a reason. I started out in my life with many goals, lots of plans, and things I wanted to accomplish.......some of which, I haven't yet. Was my life a "failure"? No, because I have loved, and given all I had, sometimes to see it not turn out like I wanted it to. Instead of the word "failure", the next time you think you have "failed", use the words, "change of direction" instead, and continue on.

Answer 4
