How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

View all responses

Failure teaches many lessons. There are several things one could learn from the failures that happened in life:

1. Failure makes man wiser and more mature. Not everything can be achieved easily. Even though everything has been well prepared, it still fails. However, if you look around, many people experience the same, even worse conditions.
2. Failure may mean that the thing you dream of is not destined for you to have. The Qur’an says:

“Perhaps you dislike something good for you and like something bad for you. Allah knows, and you do not know.” Surah Al-Baqara : 216

That’s why we asked Allah for guidance for the best.

3. Failure teaches you that you are not perfect. Above the sky, there is still the sky. This recognition can help you to become a humble person and continue to improve your quality.
