2. Through many failures I’ve learned that failure is
not something that should be or can be avoided.
It is going to happen no matter how meticulous
and careful you are. Think about the last time
you followed the recipe or formula perfectly, but
you still got a different result? People fear
failure. I do not. I welcome failure because it
allows me to grow. There is no such thing as
perfection; if there was we wouldn’t be given day
after day to wake up and be better humans.
There’s always ways to improve and failure
gives us the insight to know what needs to be
fixed.
