<p>The novelist John Hersey wrote “Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education” blahblahblah</p>

<pre><code>As a child I feared failure. I feared that failure would inevitably cause me to be looked upon scornfully by my parents and my peers. I also contended that failure would lead to more failure, especially in the realm of education. However, I was incorrect in my thinking as my personal experiences and knowledge of historic figures proves otherwise.
Throughout my educational life, I have stumbled upon many obstacles that have led me to be “less than satisfactory”. However, through the veil of failure, I have always been encouraged to overcome my weaknesses and do better. When I was taking a chemistry course, for example, I found the course to be very difficult and I continuously failed my exams. However, instead of becoming discouraged, I pushed myself to try harder and I started to perform very well on the tests. Thus, although I may have taken a few steps backward, I eventually succeeded.
Furthermore, figures of the past show that even though one may fail, this failure is ephemeral. The Wright brothers, for instance, failed not once, not twice, but numerous times before they successfully launched the first plane. Had they stopped after failing the first few times, they would not have made flight possible.
Additionally, it can be seen in the realm of science that a failed theory can lead to more understanding of a particular field of study. Lamarck, a contemporary of Darwin, proposed the theory of “use and disuse” and even though this theory was proven, by experimental data and observations, to be incorrect, it opened up, for the people of the time, new possibilities and explanations for the evolution of life. Notably, Charles Darwin, although he proposed a different theory than Lamarcks’, based his theory (which is now widely accepted) on Lamrack’s findings.
Thus, my personal experiences and knowledge of historical figures shows that failure is temporary, for the long-term effects of failure are indubitably advantageous.
