10 Life Lessons Of What Failure Can Teach You About Yourself
Failure can be an excellent opportunity to learn and grow.
We’ve all had to learn from our mistakes and practice until we succeed.
It’s the story of our lives.

I told the interviewer about my career’s successes to make an excellent first impression. The interviewer then threw me off with a typical question
“So, please tell me about your failures?”

“Any success story was preceded by a series of multiple failures.”
On this day, I recalled myself an important lesson about being open to our failures rather than brushing them under the carpet.
