The Failure to Fail

Do we really need to fail in order to succeed? Are failures a must in life?

With the recent suicide of a UTAR student last week, it really makes me wonder what it means to fail. No one will know why he took his own life, after all he was a straight A's student in SPM & STPM. But i guess it was partly because he failed his UBS accounting test twice and he couldn't accept it since he has done so well all these while.

To me, I think failure is never the end but the start of discovering our weaknesses for self improvement. If we give up when we fail, we'll cease to discover our true potential. But none of this will happen if we weren't exposed to failures in life.

Failures are like chicken pox, it is always better for us to encounter it while we are young, because the older we are, the more danger it gets.
