one way of thinking. failure is part of life. In 1 way, failure may be a way towards
success. The “Spider-story” is often 2 .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots
in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English.
He watched a spider 3 a web. The spider tried to
reach across a rough 4 in the rock. He tried six times.
On the 5 time he made it and went on to make his
web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to 6 the English . Edison , the inventor
of the light bulb, made

models
that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked 8 he kept on trying to make a new type of
battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have 9 failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't 10 ”.

conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things
will go 12 next time.
Second,
is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some 13 about what your real goals may
be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get
me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing
any way.
The third thing
to keep in 14 about failure is that it's a part of
life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have 15 ．
