I believe that humans should not fear failure. Failure is an important step leading up to success. That’s because in order to improve I need to mess up first so I can fix it next time. It’s pretty difficult to get something on the first try, so I believe that I shouldn’t be mad when I fail at something new, just disciplined about getting better.

For example, last year was my first year ever playing softball. I was nervous to first start and tryout because I’d never done it before. When I first swung the bat, I could not seem to hit the ball. I did not know exactly what to do at each position and it was hard to catch the ball. With my teammates helping me out I got better and better each day. I failed several times, but it helped me see what I did wrong so I did not make that mistake again. I started hitting the ball in games and catching the pop flys too. I quickly learned the strategies of the game as well.

By the end of the season, I had learned so much and had fun too! Before I played softball, I never thought I could have loved it as much as I did. With some hard work I had gotten somewhere I had only imagined I could be. In fact, I had a couple of hits into the outfield! So what I’m saying is don’t be afraid to fail at something new or difficult. Failure is a part of life. You never know when you’ll find something you love and have the potential to do great at.

In addition, every successful person has failed numerous times in their life. I believe if I put my mind to something, I can do it. Of course, there’s going to be bumps in the road but the eventual outcome and all the memories I make outweigh the temporary struggles. If you’ve never failed, that means you haven’t tried anything new. Keep improving and don’t give up; you’ll get there. Embrace failure and learn from it.
